Way to start page 500 by ruining its formatting (on my iPod) Golbez

Just like when they successfully sent Apollo 8 around the Moon at the end of 1968!

From page 322. I'm a 2G17 prophet too!

The year 500 was a leap year in the Julian calendar. It is considered to be the beginning of the middle ages. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Patricius and Hypatius.

In 500, Emperor Anastasius I concluded treaties with a number of nomad tribes in northern Arabia. In return for tribute to the Byzantine Empire and military defense of these eastern territories, such tribes are permitted to settle and farm agricultural lands in Arabia.

In 1932, Omar Sharif was born in Alexandria, 1432 years later. Alexandria in the year 500 was controlled by the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. 1932 was a leap year in the Gregorian calendar.

In 1962, Lawrence of Arabia was released to cinemas. Omar Sharif played Sherif Ali. The year 1962 was a common year (not a leap year).

Omar Sharif was 30 years old when the film was released. The year 30 was known as the Year of the Consulship of Vinicius and Longinus. It was also a common year.

2 leap years (500, 1932) +
2 common years (30, 1962) -
4 consulships (Patricius, Hypatius, Vinicius, Longinus)
=
0

The beginning and end.

And speaking of noted Bridge player Omar Sharif, there is a card game called 500 which borrows ideas from Bridge.

EDIT: Our old BB doesn't understand parentheses in URLs.

EDIT 2: Workaround!

I'm glad I didn't miss this. Now no one has to post anything else for the rest of the year, and I can get in a couple days of winning.

I didn't want to break Jakazid's win.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Dec 29, 2017 12:08 am

Me neither. Was hoping that Jakazid could get some significant win for the next stat release. Speaking of which, is it time for RDM to run the script? OR should that wait until the end of the page? Or even the end of the year?

Still haven't heard from Vibing_V, Asaroth, or Calbrena on this page.

I saw you lurking and assumed you were thinking the same as me. Turns out I was right. I messaged Calbrena btw.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri Dec 29, 2017 4:04 am

I'd be equally happy to get data up to the end of page 500, or up to the end of 2017, which will presumably be slightly later.

The number of unique posters on this page is currently the same as that of page 1!

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri Dec 29, 2017 2:55 pm

How did you figure this out without the use of my sophisticated analysis software?!

EDIT: Someone get eightman on here. I happen to recall this date being his birthday! If you show up, Eric: happy birthday. We banded together and got you a page 500.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Dec 29, 2017 3:07 pm

I counted the number of unique posters on page 1 a long time ago. I think it was when we reached page 100.

I would like to take this opportunity to issue a public service announcement. The Proclaimers are a great band, and if 500 Miles is the only song of theirs you know (tragically common!), do yourself a favour and check out some others.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Dec 30, 2017 12:44 am

Well we made this page last for over 24 hours, which is pretty much savoring for a multiple of 100 page. Not sure how much longer it will go for or whether anyone else would show up even if we made it last until the new year.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Dec 30, 2017 9:30 am

Anybody who missed it can look forward to page 600 (or 556

).

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Dec 30, 2017 2:58 pm

True dat. Anyway, we still have to celebrate the culmination of this page, which is 25000 posts!
