Nope, 365,000 days = 999.33 years according to Google. So Subby is also fail for not accounting for leap years.

The website reads 365,000+. PLUS!
Who knows how much that plus is?

pedobearapproved		2011-10-13 10:34:05 PM

I'd tack on less than 100 years for that +

a year is 365.25 days. We just ignore that extra 0.25 day except on leap years. Sorry to take the wind out of your sails. Good luck being a smart ass somewhere else.

Sarah Palin expected to release statement saying that Vicks being 365,000 years old is merely one theory and she subscribes to the intelligent design school of thought, which states that Vicks is in fact 6,000 years old and was originally meant to cure the gay.

Yes, whatever you do DON'T say it's OVER 1,000 years old.

It would stir some people up.

Well, looks like the expire date on the jar is March 13, 1015, so I probably should not use it anyway.

By that logic, the media will come back stating that Vicks is really 2.3 million years old, and that scientists have recently discovered 3 different transitional forms which will all be recanted over the next decade.

Then homosexual activist groups will begin boycotting Vicks until they agree to give benefits to their partner's neighbor's dog.

CSB: When I got my first job in a company's web department, I saw some live copy that was full of horrible grammatical and spelling errors. In the naive belief that I was expected to do the best job I possibly could, I asked my boss about it. He agreed that it made us look like a bunch of dropouts and asked me to add proofreading to my duties.

The next day, I found out a girl in marketing had totally lost her shiat. She had sent an email to the VP calling me a "butcher" and "the web department's assassin" for messing with "her" copy. The VP, an MBA recipient, couldn't see what was wrong with the old copy and ordered us to change it back.

We left it at that and never tried to fix any of the marketing team's mistakes ever again. That job just got worse and worse every day from there, and it wasn't until a year and a half later, when I quit, that I found out that I had been the only person ever to last more than three months.

The point of this story is that there's some poor bastard at Vick's who saw this and was afraid to say anything. I pray for his soul.
