Either that or you can now prebook the 100th post at your convenience, thus freeing up your time for nonproductive activities.

Well, if you can prebook the 100th post, it stands to reason that a prebooked 100th post doesn't necessarilly need to be made to the body of the thread to which it applies. It can be made anywhere at any time!

By George, this is exceedingly good news!

I do hereby declare that THIS post is, in fact, the 10,000th post to the Mother Of All BS Threads!

Hah!

Nice try Bee dubya ell. But I think you will find that by this time tomorrow, I will have had your post deleted, because I am offended that you have dared to place it in such A highbrow thread!
All 100th posts are mine, no question.

My parents live at 86. They aren't that old yet. But if they still live there we can laugh about it. It's a lot harder to do that in the US than in Britian. In Britian they tend to start at 1 at the beginning of the street and count their way up. In the US they use some unfathomable system that makes all addresses incredibly large. When I told people my address they would say "just 86? no other numbers?" Now in Britian I live at 24. Only two years off from my age. But I won't still be here in two years.

Layah is absolutely correct about U.S. house numbers. I once lived in a house with the number "10511" and the street was only a single block long.

But the reason for assigning such large numbers is simple. It's harder to remember large numbers than small ones. And any governmental bureaucracy is going to jump at the chance to make our lives a bit harder, if only to the extent of making us memorize one or two extra digits in street addresses.

Speaking of counting to 100, for some reason for the last five years a number of schools throughout Pittsburgh [and the United States and elsewhere judging from the Internet] make a big deal about the first 100 day of school. During that day, students are supposed to do some activity that revolves around the number 100.
Here is an arbitrary sample of the activities:

46. Help students learn a game that children played 100 years ago.
47. Challenge kids to find out what a group of 100 parrots, 100
    whales, 100 skunks, or 100 lions is called. They can make a book
    of animal groups.
48. Ask each student to write 100 on a piece of drawing paper and
    incorporate the numeral into a drawing.
49. Have kids put 100 words in alphabetical order.
50. Invite someone 100 years old to visit the classroom.
51. Challenge kids to do 100 jumping jacks.
52. Ask students to find out who was president of the United States
    100 years ago.
53. Challenge students to think of as many addition problems as they
    can with a sum of 100.
54. Have kids estimate which classroom items, or groups of items,
    weigh 100 pounds and check their estimates.
55. Can students predict 100 things that will be invented during the
    next 100 years?
56. Ask children to make as many words as possible using the letters
    in the words one hundred.
57. Time students as they jump rope 100 times.
58. Assign a number, from 1 to 26, to each letter of the alphabet.
    Does anyone's name add up to 100?
59. Ask kids to find the numeral 100 in today's newspaper. How many
    times does it appear?
60. Play a circle game. The first child begins, "I went to the zoo
    and I saw one giraffe." The second child continues, "I went to
    the zoo and I saw one giraffe and two bears." Can students reach
    100?
61. Ask children to guess which container -- of pennies, golf tees,
    jelly beans, thumbtacks, etc. -- has 100 in it.
62. Have kids write their names using 100 paper dots.
63. Read One Hundred Eggs, One Hundred Children, a Vietnamese
    folktale, to your class.
64. With kids, make a 100th day snack, using 100 raisins, 100 M&Ms,
    100 pieces of cereal, 100 banana slices, and so on.
65. Play bingo with your class, using a 100s chart.
66. Challenge students to tell 100 jokes.


Oops! I had to go away from the computer for a bit & somehow got bumped off of Mudcat. Thankfully I had saved this list in Word cause I can't find the website it was on..[what's up with that???!!!]

But here is another website with kindergarten songs about the first 100 days..

100 Day songs

Since we act like kids sometimes [which is good!!] maybe we can use the folk process to modify some of these songs when we reach the 100th post or whenever we want to say we reached it.

Or we can say "one hundred" in different languages for the 100th post [or what we want to say is the 100th post-self determination and all that being a wonderful thing]

See these examples from that same website that I just posted:
100 in Spanish (Ciento), German (Hundert), Japanese(Hiyaku), Chinese(Ebi), Italian (Cento), and French(Cent).

Anybody know any more?

Hey! Nice dress! And the sultry fire in the eyes as well.

And I retract my comment above about U.S. civil servants' penchant for greating hardships being the source of unnecessarilly high U.S. house numbers. If that were the case, British civil servants would have thought of it long ago, wouldn't they? After all, isn't being forced to jump through hoops for the enjoyment of bureacrats a British invention.
