just thinking that I was that 911th member, and how different I feel now, posting, than I did then.

In the spirit of 1234!, Enid should re-christen herself Enid Ramone.

Who'll be the lucky one to be 1313?

If she doesn't, can I re-christen myself Enid Ramone?

I wish you lot would stop being so Base-10-normative... we passed 911 in base eight way before that...

We HAVE to hit 1999 members- but I'm gonna party like we have anyway (tonight at least)...

Sorry, Paleface, but the rest of us have ten fingers. I'll let you know when I get back from setting off fireworks, though....

Oh, I've got ten fingers too.

But what about those people who don't, eh? Do you think THEY'RE not offended???!!!.

Sorry. I'm trying my best to be awkward here. Equality for all bases!

How do you know you have ten digits? You might be hallucinating some of them. You might only have nine, or even eight. Or you might have an extra finger which is intangible in our dimension, and which you are therefore unaware of. You might have a whole extra arm which you lack the sensory apparatus to perceive. We all might have them. Dozens of them. Sticking out of our backs or even our heads, atrophied through lack of use, horrible attenuated limbs all just sort of flopping around.... Argh. Argggghhhhh! Get them off me! GET THEM OFF MEEEEE!

Dude, you just killed the thread.

Must... stop... self... can't... quite...

You have no chance to survive make your time.

Shit, I said it.

Dude, that is so, like, early 2001, it's not even funny. GOD.

Look, it just came out, right?

Mordant: definitely no hyper-dimensional digits here. Though I did once think I had or needed another 3D-oppoosable thumb, growning out of the thumb joint at right angles, so I could pick this wart on the OUTSIDE of my left thumb with my first finger and my other thumb.

Everyone looked at me like I was a weirdo.

You might have a whole extra arm...!

Whoah, hang on, you mean you've only got the two? But...I don't understand...I mean, how do you brush your teeth, for one thing?

Teeth? Teeth? Which teeth? The teeth you can see or... the other teeth, the ones that rot away in a dimension that no toothbrush can reach?

AIIIEEEEAaaaah. Haha. Ah, hahahaha!!!

Ooh imagine thumb war with two thumbs. I saw two men lying down, rolling around, playing thumb war in the middle of the street a while back. It was very violent and confusing, more thumbs would be bad, very bad.

Does this all mean that I'm the only one to have noticed 1248 go by??

I've always had this vague sense that using the thumbs as "counting digits" along with the fingers was... I dunno, cheating somehow. Don't ask me why, though.
