During YAPC::Europe 2001 in Amsterdam I somehow ended up in a chinese restaurant together with a lot of perl people. It seemed to be a "perlmonks-BOF", whatever that is...

Anyway, while waiting for our main courses somebody said: "All saints stand up" and several people stood up. They then continued this game while counting from 10 backwards. I was last to stand up when somebody said "And who hasn't got an account".

I joined the day after (from the lab, as I didn't have wireless back then)

(BTW, my 100th write-up. Great timing..)
