Since you all permit me to play with the daily numbers, I see some big individual efforts every day: we've all seen Mary's daily meters reported here - and remember this is the gal who had a broken wing ! She's on a mission to the moon!

yeah mary.....

2 the 99999999999999s

Ever wonder where the phrase "to the nines" comes from? I can't find anything that's definitive, but here's my favorite one thus far:

"The nine" or "the nines" were used to signify "superlative" in numerous other contexts.
Theories include: 9, being the highest single-digit number, symbolized the best; a metanalysis of Old English to then eyne "to the eyes"; and a reference to the 9 muses. (from Mark Israel and alternative english usage website).

Why is this important today?

Dan C's crossed into The Nines of course! Congratulations on reaching NINE million meters, Dan!

Congrats, Dan ... it was only 15 minutes ago that you posted a screenshot of your 5 million moment!

... building on "Why Do We Say That" ... another alternate for the phrase "dressed to the nines": The commonest type of large sailing ship of the nineteenth century was the square rigger with three main masts, each with three "yards" or "yardarms". The sails were hung from the yards, so when the ship was fully rigged each of the nine yards held a sail. The vessel was then said to be fully dressed. Dressed to the nines, then, means all dressed up!
