LAST EDITED ON Feb-01-02 AT 11:30 PM (EST) This is probably a dumb question, but are people making the crack weasel numbers up are they getting them from some place?

>This is probably a dumb question, but are people making the crack >weasel numbers up are they getting them from some place? I'd considered seeing if there was some way I could determine signup order from when the boards opened, but I gave up that idea and instead just used 42. AFAIK, I was the first one to use a number in my RCW reference. If you don't know what 42 means, I'm not going to bother explaining it to you. 23 is an Illuminatus! reference. I don't know the significance of the others I've seen. -- Sean -- Rabid Crack Weasel #42 http://www.thebrokenlink.org The Broken Link 4.0 is live!

Ah Enlightenment! thankee kind sirs for broadening my humble horizons.(please tell me if im going overboard):) um just wondering...there must be rules for picking a RCW num like the obvious dont take a number thats already taken. Although human creativity does seem remarkable when looking at the ways people find ways around that one(for instance the infamous number 13...tum ta dum tum taaa!) ..... are there any others? I have not checked but is number 15 available ?? _____________ -Ad Victoriam. |
