You convulse uncontrollably at night, pissing off your spouse immensely, screaming that you need your PontiFix now!

20) You pray to the Pontifex God every time you are about to cross a bridge (you know, the G key...
)

29) your number of posts here is greater than 40

31) You not only have this forum bookmarked, it is the homepage of your browser
re 29): A high number of posts may not be indicative of pontimania, but of extended exchanges with relatives that have limited entertainment value to the rest of the world... I certainly hope you find a way to reduce that to sane levels again ;)

I think that Andy24 may be onto something. Not to be confused with on something. Perhaps if I used a second alias, my alternate personality and I could have wonderful conversations about nothing, and I too could have 100+ posts.
Seriously though, if Andy24 and pulsejet5 used their words, what would we have to read on this fourm? What kind of world would we have become if two brothers could not use technology to discuss something, and had to use their voices. Without trying to sound like John Lenon, try to imagine a world without keyboards. Without computers. What would we do?
Build bridges out of matchsticks I guess.
Maybe this should be number 32?
32) If this post makes any sense to you.
p.s. I think maybe I've sunk to a new low.
p.p.s. No, I haven't.
p.p.p.s. Yes, I have.
p.p.p.p.s ####... I should have made these additional posts.

43) ... when you have catagorized every bridge by type and number.
44) ... whenever you see a bridge you say the bridge type and number.

34) You can tell the difference between Andy24 and pulsejet5 ;-)

Should be like this instead:
When your number of posts is less than 40.

That is why I think post 37) is more appropriate than 29). However, they are both in support of the idea that being involved in an online community about bridge building indicates that you are a Pontimaniac.
Post by: falkon2 on October 26, 2001, 01:51:10 PM
You know you're a Pontifanatic if:
1) You're scared to death of crossing bridges because you can't turn "Analyze Stress" on.

Post by: Gray on October 26, 2001, 02:00:24 PM
3) You're afraid of travelling by train since you could pass a badly designed bridge on the way.
4) You keep looking for floating anchor points to hang your clothes.

6) ... you dream of having a date with "Miss Sweden", wake up, read this on the web (http://www.velorian.org/miss_sweden.htm)
Miss Sweden. ... Twenty students killed as school bus skids off Gloemstrom Bridge. The reigning Miss Sweden and the student's ski coach were among those killed .
and think: "If they'd let me build the bridge, she'd still live." before finding out it's a piece of fiction anyway.

9) You structurally analyse anything that looks even vaguely bridge-like...
10) Isambard Kingdom Brunel is your hero (Clifton!)
11) You find yourself talking about the pros and cons of suspension versus cable stayed bridges to your family and (ex) friends...
