Yesterday we did 87,014 points more than the [H]orde (a record). We have produced 412,580 points more than the [H]orde for the week (a record). All this means is that we are now 889,178 points in front after 19 days and the Flogometer is extremely green. If we keep this up we will be over 11 million points in front by the new year. Well done everyone its great to see we are still pumping out some great numbers and doing a heap of work for Stanford at the same time.
