This thread is dedicated to wacky news. Knowing my misfortune, I bet I will find a thread that is dedicated to the same or similar thing after I post this

Anyways,

Saving you the heartache:

The first thread for "all those funny and bizarre links you all come across": http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=1256 -- but it has rules.

http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=4244 has no rules except that it's for "funny links".

Please don't stray off-topic when you use my name.

Dear Richard,
I am sorry, but I did not know there was a user on mersenneforum with the name Wacky.

My apologies,

Don't worry.

I'm just "pulling your chain"

Since March 1929, the 33 story Grant building in downtown Pittsburgh has been home to a huge flashing beacon, using Morse code to spell the word "Pittsburgh".

Update: instead of "PITETSBKRR", it now spells "TPEBTSAURGH".
