That is an interesting phillosophical question Miner. In a way all things that have an existence do reach a day when they cease to exist.

You and I are destined to die. Well at least you are, my brilliance will live on in my numerous offspring derived from genetic manipulation of the DNA I've stolen from female Legion Worlders, and purified essence of Tamper Lad.

Does that mean you and the flesh bag that encompasses my current existence are born to be killed? I think not.

I think Abin's plenty of fun. But it is true, like Miner said, that this thread exists to be killed.

What happens if the thread has enough posts to close it out? Does the last poster win by default?

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to ask this question.

D'oh! Of course! The last to post on the thread officially "kills" it and so is proclaimed the winner!

Doesn't the person who started this thread/game have to make that determination? Who was that anyway?

My position is for it to be left ambiguous. We'll let the lawyers decide. Quislet's Super Law Firm... of Space deserves our patronage after-all.

I tried to learn to play piano by ear, but I kept getting earwax on the keys.

A baker's dozen is 13. It's related to an old superstition that it was lucky to include one more.

But I think it was just a ploy by early marketers of the whole buy 12 get one free spiel.

Ohmygod, isn't that like a baker's dozen chocolate chip cookies? (A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips, and junk like that?)

Oh my goodness 30 hours without a post to this thread... that left just 138 hours or 8280 minutes more before Quislet would have won the contest.

The reason there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds to the minute is because the ancient babylonians used a sexagesimal numbering system to keep accounts. This numbering system used a 60 as a base in the same way binary uses 2 or decimal uses 10.

During the French Revolution an attempt was made to convert to a revolutionary clock with a day divided into 10 hours made up of 100 minutes each. This followed the example of the revolutionary calendar which divided the year into 36 decades (weeks) of 10 days each with festivals in the 5 remaining days between years.

Today's Revolutionary date is 2 Vendémiaire CCXIV. This in fact means that yesterday was the French Revolutionary New Year.

Happy Revolutionary New Year. Liberté Egalité Fraterité... and To the lantern with the Aristocrat, we will hang them every one.
