Ester quite interesting field, chemistry, although I do admit I am sometimes out of my element in it.

Does your friendly neighbourhood precipitate also fight crime? Cuz it'd be pretty cool if it did. 

[Vahr 341]

Mine doesn't, but we barely have any crime anyways.

Hey, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Surely you have the record for most puns made in this thread, Duke.

That was a pretty tense game between Michigan and Illinois. Turns out that game has the highest combined score for the whole Big 10.

Count complete.

The postiest day in this thread was November 1st, 2009. 78 posts were made that day.

Second is November 7th, 2009 - 62 posts.

[Muck308 55]

How about that. Both days were fairly close to the start of this thread. Lol at postiest.

9198 - Are you going to put your results into a spreadsheet for us Duke?

[Duke87 1,070]

(9199)

They're already in the spreadsheet and will be included in the next update.

Which, at this point, will probably be the final wrap-up.

Only 800 posts to go until all of this ends... anyone else a tad sad about it?

[Muck308 55]

9201

Sad? No. But it will certainly be different without it.

[Trainmaster423 0]

9202

I guess I'm a little miffed. I think I'll get over it though.

[Duke87 1,070]

(9203)

Meh, there'll be another one.

[Larks2242 251]

Or maybe if the thread is not broken we could keep going?

[Vahr 341]

Well, there's hope that ST v7.0 will fix things once and for all.

I went to my great uncle's funeral today. I only blew my nose because I have been sick. The funeral was not all that sad. The only part that made me cry was "Who Shall I Send/Here I am, Lord" which is a song that always makes me cry because I am not that religious (I consider myself agnostic but I go to church when asked and I take Eucharist when I do so).

EDIT: I pray and go to church but I feel no presence. I am Catholic in every sense except for the fact that I feel no presence. I know that Jesus lived and was crucified, even if there were not (the truckloads of) historical evidence, I still believe in Jesus. I just do not feel the presence of any higher powers. I do not believe that monsters or ghosts exist. I do not believe in the paranomal or occult but I only partially believe in the Spiritual/Religious. The fact that the best people I know (everyone I knew who died was better than a saint) died of cancer (and some of them never smoked or worked in factories), and there is only one person left alive that I know and/or am related to that can be considered anything close to a saint and she suffered from horrible complications of a simple surgury. What if the second coming came and past and we are all living in Hell and we have no idea?

Yeah, um... you probably shouldn't do that. It's a major violation of church etiquette to be recieving communion if you are not a practicing member of the faith.

It is? Interesting... well, when the choice is between breaching church etiquette and having to face uncomfortable questions from my parents, I know which one I choose.

As someone who spent quite a few years as an uber-Catholic, I can tell you that it is a major sin to receive the Eucharist if you aren't a practicing member of the faith. Anyone who isn't allowed, for lack of a better term, to receive communion (missed the previous mass or isn't a Christian) is supposed to sit through the sacrament. There's nothing wrong with that and no one should ask any questions. In fact, I often had to sit there because I missed a mass and I got no questions or looks. In conclusion, I strongly advise against receiving the Eucharist if you do not consider yourself totally a member of a faith that includes that particular sacrament. It is looked upon harshly to do so if you don't.

Well this is bloody BS.  The post order is all bollocksed up.  And I got PFBed.  This stinks.

Unwise, due to the lag issues we're already starting to get into. Better to start a second thread.

I would even go so far as to cut this one off at exactly 10,000 and move any "overflow" posts over to the new thread, for the sake of keeping things neat.

I practice but do not feel a presence.

I'd like to think my religious/spirtual beliefs were kinda complex to explain, so that'll be my excuse to not share them with everyone over a post. But I am Catholic and go to church every so often.

Is a neverending thread really possible?

[Duke87 1,070]

This is 9212 right now, but that may change. The clock's about to tick back, so any posts made in the next hour will find themselves inserted before here.

[Hamish 1,369]

Is probably possible, but at some point a thread would end for some reason or another, so Im going to say no.

EDIT, thanks for the warning duke..

[Duke87 1,070]

(9217)
