Prove: If having 10,000 posts is lame, then Jay is probably lame even with only 9,999 posts and not 10,000.
Proof: Presume that having 10,000 posts is lame. Also presume that the degree of lameness is not instantaneous; that is, that for some subset of postcounts within [0, 10000), one is lame or at least has some degree of lameness. It is very justifiable that that every post increases the overall degree of lameness; in other words, if L(n) is the degree of lameness (where n is the postcount), then over the range [0, 10000],

L(n + 1) >= L(n)

for all n. Since empirically 1 post seems to have not much effect over how lame a person is, it could be said that

L(n + 1) >> L(n)

is false. Thus, L(n + 1) ~ L(n) and so clearly L(9999) ~ L(10000). Thus, Jay's degree of lameness is very close to being fully lame. As such, Jay it could be said that Jay is almost certainly lame; thus Jay is probably lame even with only 9,999 posts.

Corollary to Theorem: Jay should just post his 10,000th damn post and get the hell over it.

The proof of the corollary is left as an exercise to the reader.

[Ah, but you assume that lameness is proportional to the number of posts, n. But really, lameness could effected by x, the number of digits that make up one's post count. In this case, 4 verses 5. Lameness could be based on many factors. Also, you assume that lameness is linear, but you have nothing to base this on. Perhaps lameness is more exponential? Or some other function? Or perhaps lameness is instead based on the number of nerdy math proofs you use in every day life?

Your entire proof is based on assumptions. In order to come up with an accurate equation for lameness, you must first determine all of the variables that compose the lameness variable L, and then do some dimensional analysis on it.-jay]

Because it's fodder for Jay to edit my post and say something equally sarcastic in return. You have to pay attention when you're at the meetings, Wayne.

Bah. This whole thread is retarded. And my post here is either self-incrimination or blatant hypocrisy.

[Poor you. Does anyone else have a problem with a silly (yesh, it is) game? Too bloody bad if you do ^__^

It's called irony. I say that the whole thread is retarded. Therefore, it must include my post, no? Jay shall triumph in the end, because males are innately superior to females.

Wayne! You forgot to take the ring from the hobbits!

Actually, that "corollary" seems more like a conjecture, but it's fine as is beacause that allows the "exercise for the reader" line.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Oh Sam! I don't want to be put into a museum...

Meh, close enough. Besides, if it ruffles Jay's feathers, it really doesn't matter if it's true or not, does it?

We are. But there's no rule that says they can't be mocked in the interim.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

More like males are innately more egotistical than females.
