Interesting fact #252:
The heart attack survival rate in Las Vegas is 53%. In Chicago it's only 2%
I'm guessing it has to do with all the security cameras they have and the fact that all casinos have security personal that are trained in handling defibrillators... still wouldn't recommend people to travel to Las Vegas if they have a weak heart.
3 things I need to talk about here, none of them have anything to do with heart attacks... sorta. First, the OTcars, the off-topic board's version of the Oscars, you should check it out stat ( =abbreviation of statim... I've been watching too many TV-series about doctors lately >.> ). I won 2.5 awards. Best Noob Mod, Best Signature and I shared the Nicest User award with GabuEx. Just in case everybody didn't hear it yet, I need to say thank you again to everybody who voted for me. Even though I might think that other users are more deserving of these awards and nominations than me, I'm really grateful 
The Sig (or maybe Sigs) that won, funny that I decided to change my SIG 5 minutes before I was announced a winner 
:
***SPOILER***
The New Sig that most of you have already seen (also, I got a new avatar ^.^):
Then there's the issue of my friend _LiquidFlame_'s new User Created Board, Flame's Galaxy. It's a board for everything and everybody so I encourage people to check it out stat and maybe leave a few posts or threads in/about anything that strikes you as interesting. This isn't Liquid's first board (let's leave it at that >.>) and we should try our best not to let this one follow it's older siblings into the valley of dead UCBs.
And last but not least... have you noticed some weird PMs in your inbox with the title "Dude just mentioned you in a comment"... and wondered "how the hell does that work"? Explanation here, it was mentioned in the latest Spam Filter (you guys read that don't you?). If you write @dude in a comment (switch dude with the username) then the entire comment will be PMd to the "dude" stat. If that doesn't make sense then read bigethan's blog post which I linked above or try writing "@" and then your own username without blank spaces in the comments below. I'm gonna use it from now on to reply to comments, if you don't like it then speak up and I might listen
And now, if you excuse me... I need to stroll around the forums showing off my new sig being the nice noob mod that I am.

I hardly have time to reply before new comments rain in I'll take you all on at once.
@canana that didn't work perhaps you need to START a line with it >.> (tests @Hungry_bunny )
@ArmoredCore55 thanks AC55, will check out that q you sent me soon.
@gameer1 Thanks, nice avi! You switch too much
@zxv33 Oh I will
*starts whistling and twirling my cane while skipping around*
@katamari And spammy thanks-thanks to you... You know, I'd rather have one of your espresso shots revive me than a defibrillator so it shouldn't matter where you live.
@JustPlainLucas Always a step ahead, always... but one day... ehm, just wait
@Cougarhart61 Yay, finally one you didn't know, Mwahahaha And thanks.
@ sAndroid17
Appreciate it, you're still the best aussie in my book.
@king23_ I noticed, but you used to go, didn't you throw a user tournament that reminded a bit of OTcars? Anyways, I still find stuff now and then that manages to bring me back...

I already knew statim was "immediately"; the joys of doing Basic Latin for a year. Many congratulations on your award wins; definitely well deserved. I love that top-hatted emoticon, I want it implimented forum-wide.

In my early days of GSing I used to be up there with the most active of OT posters but then I lost interest in it and now only stop by every once in a while.
Posted Mar 9, 2009 7:39 pm PT
Where do your facts from? they're really interesting >.>
Congrats on the awards! you deserved it ^.^
I remember these sigs! the first one made me chuckle everytime I see it, and the new one's pretty funny too.

@gameer1 ...If you do leave I'm really gonna miss seeing your GS avatars switch all the time. >_>
@Yagr_Zero I... don't know >_> maybe I'll stick with this one until easter
@sAndroid17 I'm sorry, I think I accidentally added a blank space (I did the thing that I told you guys not to do -_-)
@PJ24 Ugh, now that's a debatable fact I was just more visible in the right places >_>
@canana Thank you, and this time it worked
@gbrading Thanks gb, and I like it too... there's a discussion about new emoticons in the SE board now, I might suggest the top hat
@TriEdgeFury26 Being a noob mod is fun at times ^.^, and frustrating at others >.> Have fun in Vegas, remember to wave to the cameras.
@king23_ That partly explains that post count, I've actually been known to take breaks from the place myself... but I don't have an urge to do that anymore... well not yet.
@-Katsuri- I get them from Google, maybe same place you get your quotes and I think I've picked up some from books like "Guiness book of world records". And thanks the Sigs make me smile too >____>
@Sir_Demii Yeah, technology is amazing
@clownofpoetry Pretty extreme makeover, isn't it? To tell you the truth... not sack boy, it's a picture from a site about knitting. I took one of those pictures, edited it a bit and changed the colors to match my sig I think the original is blue... and oh, the days I grow up to become a mod mod sound pretty scary.

@Hungry_bunny Okay I'll use it in your blog on my first comment, if that's any help
BTW I need to add this fact to my blog, that way someone might see it and use it. Letting me know that someone have commented in it.
edit: BTW I never said anything about your sigs. They're funny and makes me smile somehow

Your sigs make me laugh when I read them. I hate to see what those two bunnies do when you hiy mMod.

Most of my quotes are pretty genuine mind you, but yes I do Google some of them.

@Egonga - It's a hard knock life, hard knock. I'll share my part of the nicest user award with you, if you want it as deserving as you are.
@horgen123 - You don't need to use it in my blog if you don't want to, I check my own comments pretty often But the novelty has worn off already, I'll probably only use it when I'm answering "urgent" questions or something like that in the next blog >_>
@kcwsk8 - eh, that sucks, I think I have a few problems like that myself... problem is, I'm not sure which blogs that are invisible for me -_-
@-Katsuri- Aww, thanks for the (1) PM count, right back at ya Sooo you get some quotes from Google, the rest you collect by word-of-mouth during your long travels by foot around the world.
