Will the odometer flip back to zero or just keep counting? Actually this is an amazing feat in my mind. If I had a dollar for every post… ( I know, but it says _mindless_ right in the title of the forum) Any guesses at to the exact time we hit 1 million? ---

Clearly there is something wrong with me. I could have sworn the post count was 999,637 when I started this thread. Anyway, closest guess to the DATE and time would do. ---

999807 as of right now… I probably won’t be home to see it hit the million mark, but I envision fireworks and hamster-shaving. Hmmm… maybe I’ll just stay home! 😉 ---

Oh man, who am I kidding? I’m just padding my post count, hoping I will be the lucky one with the 1 millionth post. Any bets on who it will actually be? ---

Is it me? Oh, I hope it’s me! That would be the closest I’d ever come to winning the lotto! Wait: how would I even KNOW if it’s me? Alarms, bells, whistles? _A personal email from - gasp! - **Cecil himself**?!?_ ---

So does the code of the page allow for expanding frames? there is no way 7 digits fit… Will it start over? I will not be around to see the fireworks though… Maybe there will still be a few bald hampsters running around by the time I get home… btw, 999828 50074 08-21-2003 08:21 PM by lieu ---
