Anyway, according to Wikipedia’s [List of countries by population](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population), there are 27 countries in the world that are smaller than the SDMB. I bet we could annex them if we wanted to.

We should throw him/her a party. Think that would bring on the Rath of the Mods? It wouldn’t actually be a post padding thread, but Mods are humans too, and sometimes humans get crabby.
