Probably. I am only posting to say I am insanely jealous of **Mirror Image egamI rorriM** for managing to arrange such a cool number combo for her birthdate and age. Even three months later! ---

[QUOTE=meek] Before this thread gets locked… think we can get it to 77 replies and 777 views? Cuz that would be cool… 🆒 . [/QUOTE] Well, it looks like the views have passed 777 so that ship has sailed. I wouldn’t want this thread locked, but letting it slip into a coma (until another 7777 milestone approaches for someone) would be just fine by me… 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] Before this gets locked up, [here’s your screen shot](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2187/1812315833_78730a9179_o.jpg). There’s your proof that you’re clever. You may resume posting without having lost your funny post. This is like watching a guy holding his breath because it’s funny swimming under water. Breath! [/QUOTE] **bbs** , I think this might sound bitchy, but please believe me when I say I’m just genuinely curious: why would you use IE (esp 6) over virtually any other browser? I’m not very familiar with IE 7, but you didn’t like that either? ---

It would be nice if they closed the hospital at 5. But these silly patients have to go on bleedin’ all night. Ooh, we have a transplant scheduled for a 3AM cut time. Whee! (Almost to 77) ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] 52. 5+2=7 It was\*\* Diomedes \*\*second post… 77?! :eek: [/QUOTE] It was actually my 800th post… but 8+0+0+25+8 (T being the 25th letter and H being the 8th) = 41! Add 8 (the number at the beginning and end of that summation) to 41, and you get 49! Which is, of course, Seven Squared!!! I am destined to be involved in this thread. ---
