Errrmm...in the spirit of experimentation I just gave you 7 karma. That's an odd number I believe (as well as a prime number and the age of my youngest son at his next birthday).

Or did I miss something?

Ah, gosh, I didn't notice. But your current karma is an odd number - no way of that happening without an odd award at some point.

Yours is currently 8240 and I added 7. Let's see what happened...

Yep, 8246. I have no idea why some people have odd numbers other than a guess that if you had odd numbers before the karma system was redone a while back you stay odd and if even, you stay even.

There's probably grounds for a religious rift there...

Well, us 'eveners' are clearly superior so I'll go with that. Surely any supreme being would have a clear preference for perfectly divisible numbers (only an odd number can be prime after all).

Much as I respect you pshrynk, you will always be a heretic to me from now on

I vaguely remember reading that. It seemed to make sense at the time...

Well, I'm odd and proud of it

(And as only an odd number can be prime, it means us odd ones have a greater chance of being a supreme being )

Odds are uniquely superior. Evens are all followers easily divided.
