I fear giving Karma these days because I am going to screw up palidromes. (sigh)

Ah well, it makes it more fun for people looking to make paladromes right?

Besides the fun aspect of getting/giving palindromes, I've learned some facts about MR features. Before this thread I never knew you could check to see who gave you karma or respond to them in a message.

Huh...
I didn't even realise you could give karma 'till a few weeks ago - I thought it just sort of arrived from some secret underground organisation, didn't really have a clue about it !
Duh......

However, I now bestow it after due consideration - that's more time spent doing something when I should really be working !

I also really enjoy the little catch-phrases, how do those come about ?

Another murky coven of Mods, I 'spect.........

The bummer is that they run out at some point in time.

I didn't realize that the little pithy statements were there until after I had too much karma to get little pithy statements. So now I read other peopels.

OK. I guess I'm gonna learn something new. What are the little catch-phrases you are talking about.

If you place your mouse by the little blue boxes under a posters name you will read a little fortune.

They have always been there. There is a topic in the lounge where people came up with the fortunes. They change as you get karma.

I must admit, I had no clue about the fortunes either. Interesting...

By the way, I love how so many people are now using "palindromed" casually as if it really was an actual word. I'm so touched, it brings a tear to my eye. This shall be my most valuable contribution to this dark, lonely world full of hopelessness and despair.

If Oxford English Dictionary and/or Merriam-Webster decide to include it, just remember where you heard it first.

Nope. They top out before 1,000,000 Karma and no new ones have been added.

So because of this very thread, more and more of us now have the same, last, karma fortune.

Those of you who only just noticed them missed out on some good times...why, in my day, after walking home from school, 10 miles, uphill, in the snow, we'd huddle in front of the warm screen and laugh together at the latest karma fortunes. They just don't write'em like that anymore. <sigh>.
