This is the first post. What exactly does "First post" mean anyway? A phenomena (as shown in this article on Wikipedia) that mainly occurs in places where a new post is made often (like a blog, or a news site like Digg or Slashdot) in which a user's only purpose is to get the "first post" in the comments. I have encountered this many times on Slashdot, but not recently, as most websites put filters in place that block these meaningless posts, or other uses bring them down by voting (like on Slashdot and Digg). I don't find it annoying, since I rarely see it, but it is funny when a user incorporates a "First Post!" type post that actually means something with regard to the story.
What is the image, you ask? It is the Perl camel. You can learn about Perl at the above link, or at the Wikipedia article. I highly recommend it to everyone, but if it seems like it is too much, then there is always BASIC. The image is a trademarked image, and I have to say this to use it. It should also be linked in, so if it isn't, here is the link that it is supposed to have: http://www.perl.com/.
