question from Zapslackmotherf*cker

Why was the last article added 20 weeks ago? Have you run out of steam?

The date of the article represents the moment in time that the article was added. This is the one dimensional passage of time, as first proposed in J. Edgar Hoover’s seminal work “Dishwashing and Microphones: A Study of Marlon Brandon in 19th Century Venician Puddles”. As you no doubt are aware, this caused an uproar in physics circles (notably squatter and more turgid than mathematical circles, they being mostly spherical and brown in nature) due to its narrative qualities and pasta stains on pages 87 to 112.

In the decades since it was published, Hoov’s book has been accepted by pretty much everyone as the definitive version of events as they unwrinkled. As such, 20 weeks ago is the optimal time for an article to be posted and it will always remain so as long as Eddy remains respected by all.

This question was asked on 3 February 2005 and answered 2 weeks and 4 days later on 22 February 2005.
