DP stole $2000 from me! AKA Postcount sucks!

    Tired of "Weeeeeeeeeee 100 posts!" threads? Tired of pool parties and other strange celebrations thrown in attempt to mark their DP post-mania anniversaries? Tired of people thanking Dell for providing them with a mouse that in its turn had to scroll through hundreds of miles of DP space just to improve your ever so disappointing CTR by another 2%?

    Well, you shall not be disappointed. Instead of indulging myself in heavy alcohol related activities to mark my 3000th post i shall cry and complain instead.

    3000 posts! Lets assume that it takes (On average) 2 minutes to find a thread you are interested in, read a few replies and make a post. That's 6000 minutes i spent here on DP. Or should i say 100 hours?

    -If i was to spend this time working on my full time job instead i would have earned $2000!
    -If i was to watch Simpsons i would have went through 200 episodes!
    -If i was to have sex... 100h/10s=..... hmmmmm... Ok, lets not go there...
    -If i was listening to music i would have went through 75 CDs
    -If i was to drive at the speed of 100mph i would have been to US and back to UK 5 times by now. (Or should i say swim?)
    -If i was to ride a giant Galapagos tortoise around town at the speed of 0.1mph i would have looked quite silly.


    DP, Give me my time back! :D

    Forget about the Galapagos tortoise one, I heard they dont allow Murderers and nerds on them.

    Otherwise however, Congrats!

    Yes but how long do you actually spend just surfing DP without posting anything at all? I'll bet you spend lots of time here that has not been accounted for in your rant above.

    I really never thought of it in that way..good analogies

    Too bad reps don't count in the general chat forum..or you'd have some from me:D

    :( I can't give you back your time or greenies:(
