trophy?

It happened today, I saw an alert and I thought "maybe someone liked my post" but no, it was something completely different. It was an special alert, it said:

"You have been awarded a trophy: Can't Stop me now! You've posted 250 messages. Keep it up!".

I felt so special and powerful that I now I can do everything, I can transform water into wine like Jesuschrist!

How did you felt when you received this special trophy?

:biggrin:

I was touched and I cried a little. Then I realized that the trophy was probably awarded automatically.
 
Don't say that, I think even if it is possible, is so horrible that I don't want even to consider that possibility.
