If you click on the number of replies next to a thread on this forum, it lists the top posters in that thread, and the number of posts.

 

So the football thread is basically me and NoidRoid giving it large:

Joda Serk 674

Paranoid Android 662

Captain America 313

 

Over 300 posts between 2nd and 3rd. Gulf.

 

 

I didn't know about that either.

 

Between the two of us we've posted in Pet Hates over 3000 times. We are angry people.

I've never understood why people like it's always sunny in Philadelphia... It's fuckin' mega ding. Annoyin' cunts.

 

I watched a lot of season 1 and it was okay but didn't do much for me.

 

Someone is going to come along now and tell me I have to watch some episodes from after DeVito joins the cast. 

 

I'm not going to listen.

It's pretty funny but I was never blown away. It does have a few laugh out loud moments but it's mostly stupid people shouting loudly at each other which gets a bit old after a while. 

 

I love shouting. Charlie is great at shouting. Dennis isn't shouty though. He specialises in being a really horrible person. And Frank is utterly disgusting.

 

I'm a big fan, though it's not for everybody. I dig that there's no real story, so you can dive in at any episode and get plenty of yucks. For a 9 season long series, it's largely consistent, with the weakest stuff being Season 1, like alot of sitcoms.

I am too thick to comprehend this.

Imagine folding a piece of paper over a few times, it becomes about a centimetre thick, then next fold becomes roughly an inch, next fold would be roughly 4 inches, then 16, 256 etc... So by 42 folds it would be paper thickness by power of 42 or some shite like that.

That is some bad maths but rough explanation.

It multiplies by two each time. So if it's an inch thick, it becomes two inches, not four.

It's the same theory as the old story about a grain of wheat on a chessboard. If you put one grain on the first square, then two on the next, then four, and double the amount each time, by the time you finish the board the pile of rice would be bigger than Mount Everest.
