No worries, The Real 87, I've locked away your thread and it's gone for good.

Never really had a number obsession myself though...

Well 87 is 13 below a hundred so many associated with the sport of Cricket consider it to be unlucky as it's 13 below the great milestone.

@The Real 87: What is with you and your obsession with 87? I don't see anything special about it.

It means 8 is less than 7, which means he programs in 7-bit.

Actually, it means "The reel ate the seven ancient wonders of the world."

Don't suppose you were born in 87 by any chance? My favourite number is 73 for the same reason. I don't take it to the same degree however and make Dr Who enthusiasts feel superior.

Yes. When you get right down to it you are obsessed, basically, with your parents having sex .... Your mum, sister, and aunt don't add up to less than 3 people by any chance? How about webbed fingers/ toes? Is your sister very friendly to you? Do you say -hic- every third word? Just wondering.....
