1337
Did you know that the year 1337 was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Julian calendar? What a remarkable coincidence, then, that this is my 1,337th post here on Dream Views, and that today just so happens to be Wednesday!

Not much happened in 1,337. Few people of note were born, and few people of note died. A war started, but the French started it, so it wasn't much of a war really. It only lasted a hundred-odd years. You'd think they'd have just given up and gone back to making those delicious fried potato sticks.
But they evidently preferred sticking people with pointy objects...

I'd've went with the fries, personally.

1337 was never cool. The point when a person stops being a loser may well coincide with his realization that it isn't cool. Congratulations for crossing over!

I saw the post before entering the lounge and was thinking "Uh, no." Then I saw it was MoS.
Quite educational! I would have been working towards something better than war back then, though: seasoned curly fries...

Well, 1337 was cool for about, the first few days people started using it. Just like if you ever made a made-up language with your friends, it's cool because no one knows what you're talking about, but after a while it's annoying.

1337 was cool in that way, but I always thought the substituting of letters and stuff for numbers and symbols that look exactly like it dorky, uncool, and stupid.You do this every fucking time.
No sweat.
No tears.
No guilt.
You do this every fucking time.

1337 was a pretty cool year, skysaw. How can you say it's not? Originally Posted by skysaw 1337 was never cool. The point when a person stops being a loser may well coincide with his realization that it isn't cool. Congratulations for crossing over!
1337-speak, however, is massively annoying, and I loathe it. I've only ever used it once outside of its name, and that was for purposes of humorous irony.
