Just curious but why does the forum during sign up ask how many states are in the USA? I'm serious.


Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.

Flame, it's just one of those generic questions that's part of the forum software package.

It's kind of like "What color's a basketball?" or "Will Tony Romo finish the season on injured reserve?" Very easy questions to answer.

It's probably an anti robo question. Keeps computers from sending spam.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

that I ran into recently helps keep Tony healthy!

Zep, you forgot to bold "The" as OSU fans overemphasize it when said. Ever wonder why they call it OSU and not TOSU? I have 3 siblings that graduated from there, I make fun of them all the time.

Mark I like that kid, and double E sure may help Tony make the whole season. DeMarco sure helped.

Don't be surprised if Jaylon Smith makes it too. His knee surgeon is the best there is.

Very true Al....

Being a life-long Notre Dame fan Jaylon holds a special place in my heart....great kid....I hope he can do it...that was a pretty high pick on a guy with that kind of medical liability..but if anybody can do it he can..and Jaylon's doctor is a Cowboys doctor so maybe the Cowboys had some inside info on him. His draft night video brought a tear to my eye...thinking about all that kid has been through.

Dr Cooper the Cowboys surgeon, is who my wife works for. When the Cowboys drafted him, all the tv folks rolled their eyes. Believe me, this kid will be a star.

I figured it was to keep Obama from signing up.

Here's the deal. We see spammers almost every day. Most are from what I call the alphanumeric guy. He's in China and just puts some junk in. So we ban him, delete the posts and report him to some website that keeps up with those spammers IP addresses.

Actually, that question isn't a good indicator. Only about 75% of the legit posters know how many states there are.

Companies pay this guy to advertise their stuff. I once read that this is a well paying, work from home, job.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
