Well in honour of my 5000th post I figured I would do a recap of what I could have done with the time spent on here.
Here's a run down
If I spent on average 1 minute typing every post, I will have made a post every minute for a combined total of 83 hours and 20 minutes.
In that time I could have done....
300,000 situps
250,000 push up
ran 909 miles (1454kms)
Gone up and down the CN tower (in the elevator) 7575 times.
eaten 10,000 bananas
5000 clementines
Walked from Peterborough to Toronto
Watched every episode of Dawson's Creek
etc etc...
I figure that for every post I make I probably read for 10 minutes on here at least (sometimes more if its in the politics thread, not to mention some of my posts in the politics thread have taken up to an hour to write) so that means I've probably spent at least a month of my life on the CM. When I realized this I was pretty blown by it. I contemplated leaving the CM just because I could be so much more productive. But I've decided I'm going to stick around until the end of the semester. This place is good for breaks when writing papers and studying so might as well stick around right?
Needless to say I've enjoyed being here for 5000 posts. Thanks for keeping the CM a good place with good people.
What can you do in 5000 posts?
What can you do in 5000 posts?
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Hmm, yeah, I don't think anyone could eat a clementine in a minute. 
But, congrats on the 5000 posts, Jim.

Apparently for the average american that lives to be 74.9, they will spend
70,696 hours working,
31 months watching commercials,
8 months opening junk mail,
7 years in the bathroom,
5 years waiting in lines,
be sick 1,086 days,
and take 8,891 aspirins.
See? The CM isn't so bad!

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Yeah right! The CM is NOT cooler than watching every episode of Dawson's Creek!
It's true.
As for the clementines, if there is no trouble with the peeling of the celementine I can easily eat one in a minute.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

My post count is low because I don't feel the need to respond to every single thing in every thread. Jim, I would debate the CN Tower thing if you factor in waiting in line. If you count the wait, you could only make 1 round trip. I'm pretty sure Nam, Nikki, and Melissa would back me on that. 
Congrats on reaching 5000. Thank you for making us all think a little harder.
