Whoa.  850 accounts (of course, this is _not_ a comment on your glaring
lack of either employment or social skills) in one week.  This sure puts a
dent in AOL's membership quotes, eh?  Assume that ac1d666 is your typical
AOLer (spelling and grammar all incorrect, use of the word 'feck' at least
once, nothing in the post really worth reading--yeah, ac1d666 looks like a
typical AOLer).  AOL claims 5 million customers; your typical AOLer has
850 of those accounts.  Therefore: 

5,000,000 / 850 = 5882

There are nearly six thousand people on AOL.  Mind-boggling, eh?  What's
more, ac1d666 was able to create these accounts within the period of one
week.  AOL has been around for years now--let's go with a figure of about,
oh, five years or so (feel free to call me on this--I'm guessing.) That
comes out to right around 260 weeks; it only takes a little more math to
see just how many people are on AOL: 

5882 / 260 = 23 (rounded up)

That's right.  AOL consists of 23 people.  Boy, do they have a heckuva lot
of work to do, too.  Just think, 23 people have to do everything that AOL
does--just look at how they probably spend their time: 

1) creating new accounts
2) posting garbage to News
3) writing press releases announcing the latest membership figures
4) spanking it
5) putting pastel-colored 3.5" disks in random places
6) looking over their shoulder to make sure Mom and Dad aren't watching
7) thinking up variants of "Me too"

I salute these brave men and women.  They have successfully done the work of
millions.  Keep up the good work.
