Here's a fun one for you to try:

1. Look at your post count.

2. Do a wikipedia search for that number without commas.

3. Report back.

This post makes 1178 for me, so here's mine

I can't wait for the guy that has 1337 posts.

Edit: "4586 Gunvor (6047 P-L) is a Main-belt Asteroid discovered on September 24, 1960 by van Houten and Gehrels at Palomar."

Kinda nifty. hehe

I say that means you get to make up your own history. So tell us Rich, what happened in 3289 BC?

"Well, when Linux was just a little bitty baby...."

I'd edit something into Wikipedia, but they'd probably assassinate me.

Funniest thing I've seen all day.

"Well, when Linux was just a little bitty baby...."

Yeah right... Didn't you know BC stands for "before coders"? Add to that the fact that penguins were 20 feet tall and had fangs... that's why it took so long for Linux to be born.

"Well, when Linux was just a little bitty baby...."

And penguins roamed the earth ....

OTOH, maybe I should be posting what happens in the future and we can all check back to see if I was right.

That's why there weren't coders back then. Because of those saber-toothed penguins!

1395 was a big year for Hungary. Who knew?

really? I thought is was the fore-runner of BB/Badger and Blade - Badger and Clamshell

1169. At first I thought the page was so bare that it surely wouldn't provide much to get excited about. Then I looked at the Irish references and the Byzantines and the Knights Templar. All very interesting to me. Good post idea.

Hmmm... opened a portal into an alternate dimension, and found this on their wikipedia:

3289 BC: January 1 -- Ouch fashions his first post about wet-shaving.
March 23 -- Waldo S. Threadwell III is born, thus fulfilling the ancient prophecy about the "Harbinger of Nonsense."
March 23, 12:07 PM -- Pi is discovered
September 8 -- Source of truely "Free" energy source discovered by Ogmar the Great in the nation of Cantpronounceistan.
September 9 -- Cantpronounceistan sinks into the ocean, never to be found again.
December 3 -- The Spoliater discovers the coordinates of "South" and thinks to himself, "Hmmm... could you shave that?"
