Who will it be? It is likely to happen in the next 12-24 hours.
Between the hundreds of spam comments we get daily, and regular comments, I’d just like to say thanks to the moderation team.
It doesn’t much mean anything, just something fun.

Having our family traditional Kiwi neighbours pudding on xmas day – its sweet and delicious, so all you sweet tooths should give it a try. Merry Xmas all and specially to Anthony Watts and his mod team.
2 tablespoons golden syrup.
3 eggs,
1 tablespoons cornflour,
1 tablespoons sugar.
2 cups milk.
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 desert spoon gelatin dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water then one tablespoon of hot water.
Separate eggs put yolks in pot. Add cornflour sugar milk vanilla and whisk. Heat gently and stir until thickens, then let cool. Beat egg white stiff. In another pot boil golden syrup and as boiling beat into the stiff egg whites along with gelatin. When custard cooled fold into egg whites.
Decorate with whatever whipped cream etc.
Leave to set – can make it the day before.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. You know who you are 🙂
It’s all a conspiracy I tell you, hello anyone out there…….
No doubt at the steady rate of 1000/month until last November when it rose exponentially.
Nice one.
Now, if the comment numbers are anything to go by none of us are getting the $500,000. It’s like some Californian version of a UK phone competition.

I feel betrayed, I had plans for my loot and now Xmas will be as dull as ever. I will not return until morning.

if we hit the magic number, what do we win? A weather station? An autographed Roy Spencer book? An autographed 8×10 photo of Tony W? A zip file of of all the climategate emails?
500.000th comment is no different than 499.999th comment or 500.001st. I don’t want nothing whatsoever to do with this artificial excitement generation. Bah!
Anthony: I took the opportunity today to pay my dues and flung a meager hundred your way. Like so many others, I can’t go a day without visiting my favorite blog and getting unparalleled information and a few chuckles. I know the sacrifice you make to keep the blog going and at such a high standard to boot!
Thank you for the education and the laughs. All the best to you, the mods and our entire WUWT family.

“RealClimate has already gone through half a million comments deleted”
Apparently, those comments weren’t robust…
The image want to depict right now, but it doesn’t. It is, in fact, I have recently, just now, deduced, one of the cheapest images available, the static ones. Hello, but the rest of us are living in the 2010 era still, and are, thus, hungry for the dynamo of information.
So essentially, update it already. 🙂
Only 500 000 ? Probably cause your content is engrossing and the topic often beyond my understanding to comment on, or throughly laid out and explained requiring little comment.Merry Christmas to all. Thank you to all who keep this site up and running and so interesting. May science be rediscovered in the mass media soon.
Thank you Anthony, CTM and the other mods and rockers – a wonderful job… Please keep up the good work – I would have a hard job weaning myself from the addiction of reading your blog several times a day!
Very best wishes for Christmas and 2011
Just above this block where I type this is a bold heading Leave a Reply, so occasionally I do – leave a reply.
What’s a comment?
I’m sure it will be James Hansen he’s here so much.
Merry Christmas to you Anthony, your Family, and to the moderators, get job over the years and keep up the great work.

Congratulations, Anthony. It’s a great site, and I use information I find here in my classes to help students at least try looking at things from a perspective other than the officially approved one.
Thanks to all half million comments which do much heavy lifting in the education of readers like me.
Here is to the next 500,000 comments… This site is a must read every day. The breadth and depth of comments by the readers here, makes it worth every minute spent here.
When the pacific storm belt fires up in the winter time and drowns my local area with 80+ inches of rain on average, this site helps me make it through the boredom.
Thank You Anthony and team of Mods…
Best Wishes to everyone during these holidays,

Won’t be me –

Oops.

Nice one, indeed! I copied it, Stephen. I will pass it on, as long as we are permitted humor.
congrats anthony and thanx for allowing comments for those like myself without a scientific education. visiting your site has increased my understanding of the complex subject of climate, for which i am grateful.
seasons greetings to u and your family – trust mrs. watts is doing well – and thanx to mods and guest writers.
If it’s Osama Bin Laden, best to keep it to yourself.
