The rules of this game are simple. Simply count down from 5000 to 0. Go down one number at a time; do not skip any. (i.e, take the previous number and subtract 1) Do not post twice in a row. Do not post whiny comments about this thread in this thread. Do not post for the sake of getting it over with simply so you don't have to look at it. Try to make each post unique or interesting.

I'll start.
