I always thought it was Ananas in Spanish...from the obvious Latin ancestry. They say Ananas in Hebrew too but I dare say they have their own word for it that no uses.

Well, it happen to be the same... yes...!!! Ananás and Piñas are the same, but in America is more often use the term Piña (which defines the form or shape of another things as well) and Ananás is the correct term, always in plural of the plant and the fruit, but use only in spain... so... both are correct... and to be honest... I didn't knew the Ananás term... until now... so it's educative for me as well...

Well, it seems to me that a  lot of Latin words are derived from Dutch and German. Geek

A lot of people are terribly wrong by thinking it's the other way around Approve

None of those ever reached 5,000 pages in one single thread, but I will concede that adding all the part 1....part 8 threads together the collective total pages well exceeded that 5,000.
 
due to the way post numbers are stored (16-bit signed integer), ....the de facto limit is 32767 posts or 1638 pages and 7 posts. Like the end of the Universe, there is nothing beyond that - time ceases to exist - some threads made it to 1641 pages but everything went a little random and surreal (obviously it took a while for the Velveteers to notice any difference) probably due to the post numbers being seen as negative numbers ... 32768 as a 16-bit signed integer is -32769. But as I said, at around 400 pages (~8192 posts) things get a bit buggy with Internal Server errors creeping in and posts suddenly appearing in the wrong order.

Why would you want to store post numbers as a signed integer?  Confused
