News Report

From our reporter in Brimland, J.Siddou.

"During the two a day for a week challenge, a grand total of 188 posts appeared on Brim. A week comprising seven calendar days, that would be a mental calculation of 188 divided by 7 which equals something over 18.8 posts a day and something below 37.6 posts a day, which if we almost cut the pear in two approximately equals something in between 26 and 27 posts a day which to be exact equals 26.857142857142857142857142857143 which considering there are 24 hours in a day equals just over 1 post per hour, which means that in a week there are approximately 188 hours or to be more exact 24 times 7 hours per week which equals 168.

This is an unprecedented performance in the realm of plogetry or p(l)o(g)etry. One faithful reader of takingthebrim had this to say:

'It's such an achievement, I feel so proud to belong to the brim reading community, I mean, it's like the best thing to have ever, ever happened in my life, 'cause it's like at work, when they found out i was a brim reader, they like said i was so cool. i mean i'm really honored, you know what i mean. i'm a br(imr)eader! yeahh!.'

A member of the Guiness Book of Records team thought that 'we need to take a close look at it of course, but this seems to be a new record. We need to verify that all the criteria were respected and that there was no foul play.'

Finally, it was heard from a reliable source that along with two big thumbs up, brim was close to being nominated for best low-budget international co-operation plogetry blog in this year's upcoming 'golden mice awards ceromony'. Asked to comment on all this speculation H.De Duffy could only reply: 'We do it for ze art, and for ze art unly.'"
