Because none of them have anything to do with each other, usually you add up the total number of people or something like that. Adding all them together makes no sense whatsoever!
No offence, but its obvious!

Don’t talk shit about Total!

By: qing

qing — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:22:26 +0000

rofl I want to add totally unrelated numbers together too.

Here’s the explanation:
Those types of signs add up population and such up.
However, this sign added up totally unrelated numbers such as the distance above sea level.

Hence, the total number means nothing. No one knows what that total number is for….

As several posters (but still a definite minority) have observed, this sign is a WIN. The joke is borrowed from a New Yorker cartoon published 20 or 30 years ago.

it is not fake. do a google image search for “new cuyama” and you will find many pictures online of this sign in many different angles.

this one is real, i’m afraid. :-p

maybe if you nuke the people and raise the new new cuyama for 562 feet it wouldn’t matter…

By: Sashan

Sashan — Sun, 31 May 2009 05:56:48 +0000

why does that make it any better? one half of a person equals 1 foot? and a year can’t have x feet…

Should have put this here, sorry for the double post:

It’s a real sign, yes, and it is a joke. It’s not an “official” sign, however, but sits on private property near — as I recall — a truck stop.

The photo on Wikipedia was taken and posted there by, well, me.

562 people + 2150 feet + 1951 (y)ears = 4663 body parts
which means 562 people gives 562 body parts
