        I've always considered numbers like 65535 to be more interesting and significant than boring base 10 numbers like one million....

            Looks like you're heading towards that number with your rep points.

              How sad are we? I suspect that just about everybody here would feel the same.

                Making a few crazy assumptions, 50 words long, 100wpm typing, that's an astonishing 32000 minutes which is roughly 68 work days dedicated just to posts, or 3.1 mythical man months. Nice one.
