Wait, how did my "second" post end up above your original post??

 

[Channel98]

Because I noticed it said "miillions" so I deleted it, corrected the spelling and reposted it. If I had edited the original post, it would say "edited" and I don't like that. Here is Wally Amos in a United Airlines commercial in 1982:

Having a second before the original article is also a dead giveaway. As is multiple notifications of new material and finding the same article. So I am well aware you don't get it right the first time. This makes you human (or very good AI).
