No new posts here yesterday?

I'm worried now that that Excalibur video might have wiped everyone out.

Maybe it's even reduced the global population to no more than around 17,544.

Let's hope for 17,545 today to make up for it.

But does this count as the 17,546th?

 

[Ian Wolf]

I don't know, but this might be the 17,547th.

Couldn't help but notice those two thats in a row. That is legitimate.

There's also a legitimate way to get five ands in a row. Can anyone think of it?

17,548.

 

[Ian Wolf]

And and and and and... no.

17,549.

I stole this one off a workmate. It's:

Writing fishandchips is wrong, because there should be spaces between fish and and and and and chips.

I wonder if the 17,550 wise men could've solved it. (They've gained a few extra members since we last mentioned them; they're like AKB48 in that regard.)

 

[Sunshineabove]

I guess 17,551

STOP PRESS: Wise Men member count rises to 17,552.

 

[Buzz201]

NEWS FLASH 17,553 reporters will be laid off to try and combat the reporting of frivolous news about Wise Men. It seems there's enough of the Wise Men for them to have entire press corps of their own...

 

[Sunshineabove]

Reports across the world of the number 17,554 flashing on TV screens

 

[Ian Wolf]

Actually mine's flashing 17,555.

 

[Zin5ki]

Flashing is illegal in many jurisdictions, you know. (17,556)

♪ Flash! Ah-aah!
Saviour of the universe ♪

(Then a guitar solo for the next 17,557 bars.)

 

[Zin5ki]

But we only have 17,558 hours to save the Earth!

There's also this thinly veiled rip-off with around 17,559 actionable similarities:

 

[Ian Wolf]

I've listened to this 17,560 times.

 

[Lambadelta]

It's been over 6 years and we've only come this far. Only another 17,561 years left to go

 

[IncendiaryLemon]

Can we not go 17,561, 17,562, miss a few, 1,000,000?

 

[Ian Wolf]

No, we need to count each number, including 17,563.
