I just had a quick look at the front-page of the forum today, and noticed this:

I just enjoy these things a bit too much, I guess ;)

So ugly numbers, huh... they are not even powers of 2... :)

Well if you're really [un]cool, you could try finding a meaning behind every number ... y'know like 192 being the height in pixels of the DS screen and all.

Oops...didn't notice that! I just saw the top one! My excuse was that I was at work :-)

My dad does worse - he looks that the three-character part of number plates and tells me which ones are opcodes.
"Y'know, son, what BRA is? It's not the thing that a woman wears - it's 'branch absolute'". Ugh.

I just see if I can make words from them. Not only is it fun, but it helps me remember them. I've seen one that says "YAG 108". It's not that interesting forward, but in a mirror it looks like "BOI GAY".

Personally, I'm working towards 1337 posts. My 1337th post will hopefully be something special.

Actually it would say "IOB GAY" (well "108 GAY"), wouldnt it?

Behold my awesome powers of edit! Yet I am only a novice at editing posts when compared to you. If only I could fix the quote in your post too...
