What can you do in 5000 posts?

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.
