I liked the thread about the table Status.... 😀
Both of them are about that same table. I liked it when the guy said the table was part of SSMS.

Discussing this, just in jest will get the thread to 5000 posts pretty quickly.
Hmmm...a challenge? Who will be the 5000th post?
Will there be a prize? 😀
The lucky 5000th will be granted authorship of the index book 😀
Thank God I missed catching up with you guys till after you passed the mark 😉

Nope that would only add excitement to baseball if you were allowed to clock the 1st baseman in the ribs to make him drop the ball as he was catching it.
Of course if that was the case you'd probably need to carry more fielders than pitchers for the first time in a long time. You know every so often someone would take a bat to the back of the head. Ouch.
So we armor up the guys in the infield with flak jackets, pads and helmets, and then let them physically block the runners from touching the bases......
This is promising $!$!$ 😀
Basebrawl. Mad Magazine had an article about it in the '70s. Was entertaining then too.

Limited precognition is actually one of my mutant powers, Gail. Having looked at that thread I had a sudden glimpse of the future that told me I would NOT be trying to help that OP. 😉

Right then.Given the wealth of knowledge and talent around these parts, who's up for writing the perfect collaborative-effort book on indexing?
We could all get fabulously rich!!! :w00t:

I believe I'm going to exercise the greater part of valour, and make a strategic retreat from both of those threads.

Unfortunately, sunspot activity is currently inhibiting my psionic abilities, so I can't help the poster, but being the curious type, I did try to find some way to get 12:16pm with 56 secs from 1243012622. No luck, but an interesting thing:
12:16:56 = 44216000 milliseconds since prior midnight
1243012622 / 44216000 = 28112.28112
Spooky.

he might have made a mistake ....
60*0.43=25.8
12:26 sounds mire reasonable, that assuming I know what's going on.

OMG, you really have to be kidding here...As a complete and totally unrelated aside: -
There's a character called Trigger in the BBC comedy Only Fools 'n' Horses http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/onlyfools/uncovered/trigger.shtml
Why 'Trigger' - I always thought it was because he was sooo intellectually quick witted.
Trigger was Roy Rogers' horse, that was my first thought on seeing the title of the show.
According to Wikipedia, the character in Only Fools 'n' Horses was named Trigger because he apparently looked like a horse. Can't judge that one as I haven't seen the show, but that's what Wikipedia says (and we ALL know that Wikipedia is NEVER wrong... most of the time...)

Wikifrickintastic! That childhood cooped up in the house and tortured with Singing Sandy, Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers finally pays off. Jackpot!!!
