AI Thread Summary
After 141 days without rain, Phoenix experienced precipitation, coinciding with a forum member, Franzbear, reaching 10,000 posts. This event sparked humorous speculation about a connection between the two occurrences, with some suggesting that the achievement of the milestone could have cosmic consequences. The discussion included playful banter about the nature of rain in a desert and the implications of Artman, another forum member, being likened to rain due to his efforts to reach the post count. Participants joked about potential global disasters resulting from this milestone, while also debating the legitimacy of Artman's approach to achieving the 10,000th post. The tone remained light-hearted, with references to geography lessons and the absurdity of the situation.

Could this have anything to do with Franzbear hitting 10,000?

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
 
I'm still wondering when yomamma will get to that chapter in geography class that explains he's living in a desert. :biggrin:
 
Actually, it rained a few days ago. Unless that was another "unofficial rain".

Evo may have a point. I think that Artman is actually rain... Artman for the past 140ish days has been trying to get the 10,000th post and now that he has, it rains!

I'm afraid that Franzbear finally hitting the 10,000 mark will have untold consequences of galatic proportions. We may just be beginning to see the first domino fall.

Yep, we'll soon be hearing news of flooding and famine somewhere in the world. :rolleyes:

You have no idea what you have! I warned you that at the 10,000th post I would be set free, and it been so. I am adjusting to my newfound state of freedom. Imagine having no body: I am an idea and as such I am everywhere. Yomamma, consider the rain my gift to you for the efforts you made to kill me. Other, unexpected side-effects might occur due to my certain level of inability to control my actions, but I should get it under control soon enough.

Wow, this really is cool! Thanks everyone, for such a wonderful existence! :!) :!)

Umm, Artman had nearly 10 consecutive posts to get the 10,000 post mark, imo he should be disqualified.

Anyone could have done that.

Fair game IMO.

Probably the lamest way to get the 10,000th post, but whatever :rolleyes:

But anyway it worked! Of course I don't think it'd work for 1 of us...:biggrin:
