Ya know, I've been in hudreds of post offices, but the only posts I've ever seen are those stanchions used for crowd control. Lots of letters and packages, but damned few posts. Maybe the post office is just where they keep track of the posts while the posts themselves are kept at the post warehouse?

I spent three weeks in Blind River one night, so, thou who was there at the beginning man, I am not he. I have no such pretensions. BDiBR is one of Canada's coolest citizens. Shane has the corner on the illegal booze market in Blind River, Ontario. Well, he did until he drank the profits with some ladies of the evening. He spends lotsa time in jail through no fault of his own, and I think he was an astronaut one time years ago, but that may have been after he smoked a few doobies and it could be a story he made up to impress the Earth-bound. He has also been caught wearing women's clothing. And he has a big-time boner for a lady cop in Blind River. He claims the gun scares him but the handcuffs excite him.

While on holiday I spent most of my time wondering if this thread would have nearer 1000 or 2000 posts by now. Imagine my shock to find there was only 6 new posts since my last one. However, in the big scheme of things I suppose one week will make little difference in the end (whenever that will be), so I'm cheerful once again. Perhaps a little encouragement from our spiritual leader Blind DRunk in Blind River will get the show on the road again. Do you have a message for us BDIBR? Is anything coming through?

I was tempted to go and post again to the 5000 posts thread, but it struck me that THIS THREAD is one way--small albeit--to grab onto a tiny piece of immortality. I was particularly encouraged to see that we are measurably closer to the goal. To quote from an old song, "Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on."

Look Blind DRunk in Blind River, you may have started this thread but you don't own it. It's bigger than you - in fact it's bigger than all of us. Seems to me rather like this thread has come through you rather than from you (no put-down inferred, believe me). So get over yourself and be proud of the not-so insignificant part you have played in what I feel is developing a spiritual quality.

Interesting concept here, the whole 85 billion thing - but why stick to the paltry sum of 85bn? Are we not limiting ourselves by bashing around these insignificant figures?

Just realised that while not among the first 50 to post a message, am among the first 50 people! However I am throwing my lot in with the first 100 - don't want to seem too elitist. Also realise that by posting again am denying someone the opportunity to be among the first 100, so will dedicate this post to the first person who requests it from me after 100 (and who doesn't already own a post!) Can't say fairer than that.

p.s. Have noticed my there/they're error in previous thread - am so sorry to anyone who is disgusted by this - so out of character.

Hoped I would be among the first 50, but looks as if I'll have to settle for the first 100. Still, something to boast about one day.... "Did you know I was one of the first 100 to post a message on the 'Will this thread etc, etc. They said it never could be done.... there not so smug now".
This thread could be the highlight of my life, or future lives if we are reincarnated and can remember previous lives. We could organise a first 100 club perhaps, the other billions of people would be so jealous wouldn't they. Can anyone do T shirts?

"RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts?"

Make a few assumptions:

1) Everyone who ever lived WOULD have posted had s/he had a computer and the 'cat had existed.

2) ("It is said that the current world population of 6.5 billion represents one-fifth of the people who have been alive in the last five thousand years. That means that in five thousand years there have only been 32.5 billion people who have not posted to this thread.") SEE #1.

3) They each posted to the thread once a day for three consecutive days.

OK, so it's like this: The thread should already have REACHED a paltry 85 billion posts.

Joe, you have lots to answer for. WHERE ARE THE POSTS?
