At the conference I'm at, the shit barrier was broken at 1:30. That's the moment the word "shit" was first used by one of the speakers. I have only recently begun to collect data on this phenomenon, and look forward to producing many attractive line graphs. Posted

Then, shouldn't this have been the first of your posts that you "shit"-tagged ?

I have a theory, notice that as soon as you used the word "shit" in your post, Jon immediatly called back another "shit". And by the end of this sentence, I will have said "shit" three times. So then, here is my forumla... shit I forgot my high school algebra. Oh well, that last "shit" proved my forumla wrong. Regardless, I'm guessing that there will be some sort of exponential increase.

I have started noticing this phenomenon in meetings at work as well. I was particlarly proud of myself for saying "fucked up" twice on a conference call yesterday. ;-)
