I'll be damned, there is actually a thousand dollar bill. However, there is absolutely no truth to the Trillion dollar bill that Mr. Burns was supposed to deliver to the Europeans to aid in the reconstruction after WWII. It's still a great episode, just one with a factual error.

I mention the 1,000 dollar bill because The Daily Dave hit 1,000 unique visitors each and everyday last week. We've had the occasional 1,000 hit day here and there, but last week we hit it everyday, which seems like some kind of milestone in the world of blogging.

As I've mentioned before, checking the number of people who come here, and from where, is an important part of writing this. If I didn't know that people were reading I could just as easily keep this all in my notebook only to have it sold to pay off my debts after my untimely death 30 years from now.

(Unfortunately, I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll be murdered by poweful oil-industry executives sometimes in the 2030's.)

Anyways, good things are on the horizon, so stay tuned. Actually, sit right there. Or, you know what, don't move at all. Stay perfectly still. Just refresh the screen every few minutes in hopes that I've updated. That'll be the best way to stay abreast of everything.

I've had a couple people ask me about doing a guest column recently, one of them being the infamous Real Sherman. I'm considering it, but they always say that a comedian shouldn't ever hand the mic to someone in the crowd. I wonder what they say about doing it virtually. Thoughts?

Congrats to my college pal, Ed, who had a baby girl over the weekend. I'm pretty sure his wife had something to do with it too, so congrats to her as well.

Do I owe anyone else a congrats for something that they've accomplished lately? Don't be shy folks, you know you've done some good stuff recently, stand up and have yourself counted...
