| Jan 24, 2018 at 7:07 | comment | added | Nog Shine | It is also found in Phineas and Ferb show 6-8 weeks in Phineas and Ferb?. It is possible that the show took it from Jeff's words. | |

| Jul 28, 2013 at 10:16 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Mat thanks, so the bug was the image was part of the list where it shouldn't be! :/ | |
| Jul 28, 2013 at 10:15 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @gnat valid candidate for an answer! :-) | |
| Jul 28, 2013 at 10:11 | comment | added | gnat | as far as I can tell, this dates back to at least 1989, Muppet babies episode 603: Six-to-Eight Weeks "The Babies anxiously await the arrival of a playhouse that Nanny ordered for them, which was supposed to arrive in six to eight weeks..." | |
| Jul 28, 2013 at 9:47 | comment | added | Mat | @Sha: repro & fix for the formatting misbehavior: meta.stackexchange.com/a/181300/158667 - not sure what part of that is a bug. I'd say the way you formatted the image quotes isn't kosher, and I'm surprised that part works. | |

| Jul 28, 2013 at 9:21 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Martijn might be! Anyway found a bug in markup, can't format the quote properly. Will investigate further later. :) | |
| Jul 28, 2013 at 9:20 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | It originated with JeffAtwood, during the development of Stack Overflow. Beta was said to be 6 to 8 weeks out; needless to say he missed that target. | |
