I wonder.

[EDIT] As in, how long can we keep it bumped somewhere on the first page before it hits 50 posts and goes to two pages.

That's probably cheating.

This thread could actually get quite interesting if we did the bump/delete thing. Confusing as hell, but interesting [Evil]

It occurs to me that I could destroy this thread by pointing it out to the Last Post and Huggles people. The resulting meaningless spam would create a second page in moments.

That doesn't work, it comes to the top, then drops back down in about 10 minutes. I tried it once as an experiment.

What does work is if you delete your old posts and keep the latest one in the thread. So tonight I'd post another reply and delete this one. Keeps thread length the same but makes it more recent.

Down, down, down, down gravity

Helpin' wash the dishes
And I drop a cup.
Why does everything fall down
Instead of up?
Ridin' up a hill I spill
And hit the ground.
Wish I could fall up instead of always
falling down.

Down, de-down, down, down.

I'm a victim of gravity.
Everything keeps fallin' down on me.
No matter where I go
That force is there I know,
Just pullin' me down, down, down,
down, down.
It's all around town now,
It's like a magnet deep inside
the ground.
When I lift something up,
I can feel it pulling down.

It pulls me in the pool,
It pulls rain down on me.
I'm a victim of
Down, down, down, down, gravity, yeah.

Galileo, Galileo, Galilei -
He did experiments with a force
he couldn't see.
(Could not see, yeah.)
He found that all things fall to earth
at the very same speed
(Very same speed, yeah.)

He didn't know it yet, but htat was due to gravity.
The moon goes 'round the earth
And shines its silver light.
The earth goes 'round the earth
And shines its silver light.
The earth goes 'round the sun
And makes the seasons right.
It isn't love that makes the world go 'round, you see,
It's the power of gravity,
But please don't tell Mary Jean.
Down, de-down, down, down.

Without earth's gravity
To keep us in our place,
We'd have no weight at all,
We'd be in outer space.
The sea would float away,
And so would fields and towns,
Nothin' pullin' us down, down, down, down, down, yeah.

Isaac Newton underneath the apple tree.
(Apple tree, yeah)
One hit him on the head,
He said, "That must be gravity."

Newton's law of gravity says that every object in the universe
pulls on every other object. The bigger the object, the stronger
the pull. But the greater the distance between the objects, the
weaker the pull becomes.

Come back, Mary Jean!

Don't call me clumsy,
Don't call me a fool.
When things fall down on me,
I'm following the rule;
The rule that says that what goes up, comes down, like me,
I'm a victim of down, down, down, down gravity.

Shoo-be doo, down, down, down.

Don't bump and delete too much. That sometimes causes forum glitches that make the thread unreadable. (And has led to a banning in byegone days.)

Actually, I sent Storm Saxon a PM on sakeriver, which happens to be modded by saxon75.

Maybe just edit your post so you don't look so silly...don't delete it. That would ruin the sabotage.

Hence my butting into this thread to direct him to the message, since the lack of a reply so far led me to believe that he hadn't seen it. [Razz]
