So I’m busy grossing myself out with [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=44749&pagenumber=5) thread, and I notice here on page 5 that the dates for the posts are kind of messed up. After 11/22 it goes to 6/1, and continues to July, September, and october before going back to 11/24. What gives? I don’t think I’ve noticed that ever happening before.

Here’s how that happened:  
I submitted the first one.  
My browser timed out while I was reading e-mail in another window. By the time I got back to it, I had forgotten what I was doing, so I hit “Back,” and went back to reading e-mail.  
Imagine my surprise!

Bah!! Thy feeble excuses are wasted, thou puny poster! The Mighty Straight Dope Message Board doth not accept _excuses_ for double posting! _Excuses_ are for touchy-feely [Oprah.com](http://Oprah.com)!

Pah!!

Bring us the head of Marilyn Vos Savant as thy punishment, or rue the day thou didst ever decide to read thy insignificant e-mail in another window whilst the Mighty Straight Dope Message Board patiently awaited thy worm-like attention.

[sneer]
