Can you guess why?

Dubslow · 2012-02-29, 06:20

Assuming you're somewhere east of or including UTC-6, then it's now Leap Day.

Batalov · 2012-02-29, 06:58

Because you know who celebrate you know what only once in four years on this special day?

aketilander · 2012-02-29, 08:31

Or maybe the forum is celebration its 300000000 seconds anniversary?

aketilander · 2012-02-29, 08:52

No, 300,000,000 seconds ago would be 26 August 2002 and the oldest post on the forum seems to be from "16 Aug 02, 03:54", som we have just passed that anniversary a few days ago.

"Trolls usually live a very long time and only celebrate birthdays on leap years".

Kinda makes me curious:

Woo! Standing sine wave of length L > lambda!

What species might Snake1 be? My sister has a five-month-old Elaphe guttata guttata, which just came off a ten-week-long hunger strike today at the temptation of a delicious live pinkie. The frozen/thawed ones weren't doing the trick any more. The next step would have been a pinkie pump, which is about as pleasant as you might imagine.

There are some photos of him here http://mersenneforum.org/showpost.ph...22&postcount=7 from when he was originally introduced. (Unless Mike's talking about a different Snake1 now.) Can you identify his species from the photos? I wouldn't be able to by the way, but in the first posting in that same thread Mike tells us the answer.
