    One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
    Two can be as bad as one
    It's the loneliest number since the number one

    All of these internet trends are ****ing annoying. It doesn't make you look cool. It makes you look like a sad bastard.

    In fairness this AH, it's not a serious forum and this is not a serious thread, stuff like that is bound to be posted.

    I think that a similar law to Godwin's would be the "800 Year Law", which covers any thread even remotely connected with anything to do with the UK.

    I have been reading Boards for a long time now (only bothered recently actually creating an account).

    I have read many a thread which has been declared over after someone implementing Godwons Law:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

    ""As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."

    But after reading more and more I think their should be a Godwins law sub-clause:

    "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler or the 9/11 attacks approaches 1."

    Craven's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of the use of the word jizzmopper approaches 1.
