Where I come from, a "Slider" is a rectangle cut from a block of vanilla ice-cream served between two wafers.

I've encountered the number 42 more than 20 times, and I've only been up for 2 hours! You don't think that this is like that episode of Star Trek where I'm going around in a time-loop, do you?

Most odd indeed. I just leapfrogged several hundred posts of blog, and while 3N was loading My Conversations updated to show me NO NEW POSTINGS! It's been stuck on -39 forever and now it resets WHILE I WATCH!
Don't get me wrong, I know all about his new upgrade Sorting Things Out, but to have it happen while you watch, how 
is that? Eh?
Sorry if you've all been discussing the upgrade while I've been off gallivanting in RL, but you know how it is. Life's still too short for reading 400 3N posts which are by now all irrelevant in the way that only Thingism can achieve.

Better. Every time I look at my watch it's X:42. Twice today I was told to see the notes on page 42.
