As some of you may have noticed, you can now go directly to a post number with a link in the following form:

When I tried that with postid 666, the post in question was about… guess what…  
[Eerie! Post # 666 is in a thread about the devil! :eek:](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=666#post666)

Could there really be something to this 666 number of the beast business?

But post [100,000](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=100000#post100000) doesn’t seem to exist. The elusive missing post. I wonder where it may be? Are there others. I expect this storyline next season on X-Files.

Oh, I had to delete #100K. Someone called someone else a “poopyhead” in GQ. My thread-moving button was not working that day, so I couldn’t move the whole thing to the Pit.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
