53 Posts to 2000... ask me anything!

[St. Jarvitude]

I really want to get it past 2000 in time for Monday (the end of Winter Break).

In memory of one of the greatest football seasons ever, I will name a football player with every post - one that fits the difference of:

2000-totalposts

So #53 ...

Mike Webster, C for PIT (74-88) and KC (89-90)



Now, ask me anything so I can post more football pictures!

1. Where do you go to school?

[St. Jarvitude]

5. NW Suburbs of Chicago

At a fairly large public high school (no, not Stevenson... which is the fairly famous one).

I obviously don't want to give it away outright for fear of freeper stalkers :puke:

#52 DJ Williams, rookie LB for the Broncos

I couldn't find a picture of him as a Bronco, so here's him at Miami.

2. Must you *really* post football players pictures in every response?

[St. Jarvitude]

7. No, of course not!

But I will, because I can!

#51... Dick Butkus! Needs no introduction...



But if you'd prefer... events that happened in 1950:

Californium is synthesized...
Tollund Man is found...
President Truman sends first American troops to Vietnam...
UN building is completed.

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. Doesn't he have the best name ever? I mean really?

[St. Jarvitude]

15. Dick Butt kiss... I don't get it.

What's so funny about that? DICK... BUTT... KISS... not a funny word in the bunch :shrug:

Anyway, #46...

Actually, in honor of the vaunted '85 Bears 46 Defense. I will post the entire starting defense of the Superbowl XX Bears:

McMichael, Steve DT
Perry, William DT
Dent, Richard DE
Hampton, Dan DE
Marshall, Wilber OLB
Wilson, Otis OLB
Singletary, Mike MLB
Frazier, Leslie CB
Richardson, Mike CB
Fencik, Gary FS
Duerson, Dave SS

3. Are you sure you want to do this?

I just passed 2000 myself a couple of days ago, and everything's still the same.

In fact, I'm in the middle of a nasty cold, and I can't say passing 2000 posts had nothing to do with it.

Are you really, really, really sure???

23. i could tell you the real reason...

but then i'd have to kill you :evilgrin:

but really, it has to do with how sunlight enters our atmosphere-when it is entering either straight in or at a deep angle, the light has less distance to travel within the atmosphere, so the freq of the light slows down and approximates a blue tint, the closest color to the freq of the light...(spectrum of light, bla bla bla)

what's strange is that the reason the sky goes orange is bc the light is entering the atmosphere at an angle more shallow relative to the observer, and as it takes longer to enter the atmosphere, the light slows more due to the added distance of air...thus the slower light waves have a lower freq, and thus an orange color...pretty interesting, huh?
