Anything to help a fellow T.Rex fan!
101 post gets you the dreaded Adelie Penguin.
251 brings you to Rockhopper.
501 gets you Royal Penguin status.
Anything after that, you just boast at every milestone (ie: 1000, 1500, 2000 etc.) Or better yet, find yourself a boardie who will boast for ya! ;) :D

Yep, Elvis was 16th August and Marc was 16th Sept 1977. Maria Callas the opera singer was around the same time as well.
My son rolled in at 3:04am on Wed 16th Sept 1987 now he's almost 15 and almost 6ft tall. Boy do I feel old and small!!!
:-/ :D ;D

My mum is 5'0" tall, and my 11 year old brother has just grown taller than her. We just had to point that one out.

And there you have it! Everything you ever wanted to know about penguins but were afraid to ask..... ;D
Subject: Re: S'CUSE MY IGNORANCE, BUT HELP!!!
What is the whole penguin thing about anyway? How did it start??

Subject: Re: S'CUSE MY IGNORANCE, BUT HELP!!!
Wow! I just realized this is a heaven-sent opportunity for me to again broadcast my one and only penguin fact:
"Penguin" is a Cornish word (the only Cornish word to be in general use in the English language) and it means "white head" as it was originally applied to the Great Auk, which did have a white head.
Yes, I am a walking encyclopedia of useless knowlege.... ::)
