This one is used when referring to rabbits in German, like so: 'Die Winterhasen rammeln dort am See.'
But it's also used more generally as in English (to ramble home), and used to express the opposite of relaxing.

How about a statistic regarding the number of non-cynical posts made by tsuwm, ever? The last post might be a statistical contender. -Belligerentyouth

No such luck Belligerent, I cooked the books to a degree that would have saved Enron. In desperation I even applied THE STALES INDEX.
No matter. Mr. tsuwm still scored nine below zero.

...the most meaningless milestone.

What the heck does that mean?
What is the the meaning of a milestone if the number of members is not?
I intend to celebrate this historic event. I will celebrate alone if I must.

In golf, that would likely be a win.

Good for you, Milum! Does the importance you see in the reaching of 3000 members have something to do with the fact that your name could be derived from the Latin root, mille?

Speaking of meaningless statistics - and meaningless milestones - has anyone kept track of things closely enough to know what the world record Stales Index is? By eyeball estimate there aren't many threads with over .15 replies-per-view, but I've never looked systematically.
