The US ad website Craigslist has its roots in 1995 when Craig Newmark created an email distribution list for his friends that featured local events in the San Francisco Bay Area.

As of now, Craigslist operates in 70 countries and more than 700 cities. Wow. The first non-English languages that Craigslist supported were Spanish, French, Italian, German and Portuguese — this happened in 2008.

I worked in an office that kept a typewriter around for when we needed to make corrections to signed forms and other documents. A young attorney asked me if I could show him how to turn it on, so I did. He sat down and then just looked at it—he couldn’t figure out how to put the paper in—and yet he somehow thought he was going to white-out some text to be replaced with other text? I took pity on him and did it for him in just a couple of minutes. Sometimes being old really pays off.

Now, let’s talk numbers because they’re jaw-droppingly huge. Craigslist has over 20 billion (that’s right, that’s a ‘b’, not an ‘m’) page views each month (this one’s an ‘m’, though), and it had more than 49.4 million unique monthly visitors in the US alone.

Reminds me of the bit in Ed Edd 'N Eddy where they set up a scam called "Gerbil for a Day." Ed is running around in a giant wheel! "Cheep cheep cheep cheep! Feed me!"

Those are for cats and dogs - I wonder why they said not good for a house with pets. I looked into getting one for my cats and they're really expensive.

whats with all all these people saying its for furries or sex- Just because it is a human sized hamster wheel does not mean that it is. Its for entertainment and fun, also exercising. I've always wanted one of those to play on bc it look like fun and something to do when your bored or need to let out energy.

Craigslist also has 80 million new classified ads each month. The numbers are so stunningly big that it makes perfect sense why there are so many ads that have us laughing out loud.
