You might laugh at for this one but....

Yesterday i was playing around with my profile for AIM and i had an idea. If you put 500 of the %d's or %n's (%d = date %n = screen name of buddy) then there would be around 3,000 + characters in your profile and aim limits you to 1,000 characters. I know this is no problem for hi-speed users but dial-up users might have to wait a while for the profile to load.
