| Dec 22, 2017 at 14:57 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino StaffMod | @iDebug With the addition of suggested edits, Community Wiki has been all but depreciated, but the consensus is that nobody's post should be forced to Community Wiki. I think it is a needless feature. | |

| Feb 28, 2017 at 17:59 | comment | added | zdimension | The Wikipedia page of "Dartmouth workshop" says "The project lasted approximately 6 to 8 weeks". Coincidence? I THINK NOT! | |
| Sep 15, 2016 at 18:48 | comment | added | MattSayar | Solid detective work @jfrej! How did you find it?? | |
| Sep 15, 2016 at 12:48 | comment | added | jfrej | @MattSayar it's not online anymore. But you can find it here web.archive.org/web/20100202011937/http://www.cznp.com/… | |

| Feb 19, 2016 at 10:48 | comment | added | Spontifixus | @JeffC in German it's "Sechs oder acht Monate. - Sechshundertacht Monate?" Literally translating to "Six or eight months. - Sixhundredeight months?!" | |

| Feb 18, 2016 at 20:17 | comment | added | JeffC | @Spontifixus it's actually 6 to 9 months... and it was the first thing I thought of when reading this also. | |
| Nov 13, 2015 at 16:53 | comment | added | jpaugh | Thanks very much for curbing my expectations! I'll look for this project to come out sometime next year... :-) | |
| Oct 5, 2015 at 7:11 | comment | added | Sebastian Simon | At 16:00 in this Drawn Together episode they won some sort of prize after "6 – 8 weeks". I honestly wonder where they got that from... normally you’d know exactly how long it took if the waiting time is already over. | |
| Sep 15, 2015 at 20:29 | comment | added | MattSayar | Does anyone remember there was a web app that helped you "estimate" development time by asking you "How many developers are working on it? How many lines of code is the app? How many vending machines are available to the developers?" and it had a slider bar after each one. And no matter what you put, it spit out "6 - 8 weeks" | |
| Sep 15, 2015 at 5:37 | comment | added | Sebastian Simon | Oh, I didn’t know that occurrences of this meme from elsewhere could be collected here. In that case: Empty Data Centre - Computerphile | |

| Jun 9, 2015 at 1:14 | comment | added | SamB | @Mr.Bultitude: I can only assume someone named David said something about "reticulating splines" | |
| Jun 8, 2015 at 13:44 | comment | added | Mr. Bultitude | BTW, private beta began 11 weeks later, on July 31, '08. Atwood said at the time that it would last "anywhere from two weeks to a month," and it ending up being five weeks. | |
| Jun 8, 2015 at 13:29 | comment | added | Mr. Bultitude | @SamB I really want to know what Sim Copter reference you were responding to. | |

Added the audio context.

| Nov 19, 2013 at 21:32 | comment | added | neminem | Wow, Jeff Atwood takes more fake hypothetical time to implement things than Jick (of KoL). Kingdom of Loathing has exactly the same meme, except in Jicktime, it's "2 weeks". | |
| May 18, 2013 at 18:56 | comment | added | Spontifixus | I just watched Madagascar 2 in German - and the penguins said when asked how long it will take to fix the plane after the crash: "Oh, we should be ready in about 6 to 8 months..." Coincidence? ;) | |
| Jun 18, 2012 at 8:04 | comment | added | user140539 | It's like Thomas Friedman's 6 months (fair.org/index.php?page=2884). | |
| May 24, 2011 at 22:34 | comment | added | SamB | @David: In Sim Copter, it might not have been a joke (though most of the other messages shown during loading certainly are). | |
