I think @TheEvilGreebo is on the right track, so I'm leaving it for him to answer
BTW, congratulations @Tester101 for knocking me off my high horse. You wouldn't want me to get too cocky up there. :)
I think we need one of those foam finger things cheering someone on for being #2 on the rep board

@Tester101 Haha, at this point, I don't even check. I was only in a race with myself to get to 10k. Didn't know I was at #2 until it was mentioned yesterday, and then saw that you beat me today when I was upvoting your post.
ack, too early to write a complete thought on my first try

@BMitch I usually notice it when I'm checking to see how many edits I've made. I'm trying to get the Copy Editor badge.

@Tester101 Wooo! I'm #2 too, I'm #2 too! Maybe I can petition @JeffAtwood for swag.

Dr??? that's like another 15 years at my rate, I'd have to retire before looking for a job... hmm, when you put it that way...
in case my humor doesn't translate for some, I did the standard 4 years and got my lazy butt a job, my dad's counting on me for his retirement plan

for my dad it might, but you've got to work the odds in your favor, he's not counting on my brother for a thing. In an indirect way, my brother hasn't really moved out, and he's 40
