.9bar is a mathematical term - .9999999999999 ad infinitum. Technically, it is equal to 1 - but some people don't like to believe that, so there was a huge nerd-fight about it a while back. The victorious nerds occasionally like to post "+.9bar" instead of "+1" to illustrate their nerddom.
The 87 thing is a secret, and I can't tell you.  Ask markm

We had a huge math argument..and it was determined and proved that .9bar, meaning .999999999999999999 out to infinity, is in fact = to 1
87 is a number MarkM says all the time. It just caught on.

I believe that your answer is only 87% correct. |

Its the answer to stupid questions that dont really have a correct answer. Like How much ammo do I need? 87,000 rounds or How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? 87 logs stuff like that. |

Haven't seen a Tras post in a while
Yea. Its a a nerd victory cry as DK-Prof posted. I personally find it too troublesome to do the .9bar. It's much easier and less effort is used with a simple +1 |
