I've already got OCD tendencies towards the "count to a million" thread, don't get me started on this one! :lol:

Same here, its soooo addictive, first thing I look for though maybe I shouldn't admit to that :twisted:

I agree, there is something tantalising about moving towards the target. If I was a mythical figure in a former life I would have been that man who kept pushing that rock up the hill, only for it to roll to the bottom every time. The sad thing is I'd probably enjoy it :lol:

No, look how long it take to get 1 million posts, its would take 1 billion times longer. If you live to be 100 years old you would have only been alive 3.1536 billon seconds

According to the forum there are 18,420 members. If each one make 1 post every minute of every day it would take 103289.22 years

3.1536 billon seconds doesn't seem like much, if you think of it.

It is impossible. This forum will not exist that long. For those that said 'yes', which is more than 'no'. Don't realize how big numbers are, and I dare them to count to 1 million. it will take over 11.5 days. Actually longer because to say some number like 256,597 takes longer then 1 second to say.

but there exists a single circumstance in which it may occur, perhaps more. Therefor, it is simply very very improbable. You cannot rule out the chance entirely. Just because something happens one way every other time, doesn't mean it can't surprise you once. Hypothetically, it CAN happen, even if it most definitely won't.

Actually it can't. There is no way. Not even the slightest chance as there is an end to everything. There is not a .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of this happening. It is 0% when give all the variables.
1) Asperger's site
2) Limited by the internet existance
3) Limited by the funding of the site
4) Limit on how much can take place on this site
5) Limited by the chance there is a cure or vaccine for AS
6) Limited by chance of human extiction.
7) Limited by the chance of a hacker deleting all threads.

It is impossible. There is no way that I will win this thread and none of you will either because it will take 9379375935 years for someone to win. By then there will be something better than the Internet. Me thinks I will be dead by this time......
