This answer took relatively little effort to write, but it's now tied for third in the list of my top answers, earning it a place on my profile page. That was unexpected.

^^ Thanks for the question, @Scimonster! :)

@Shokhet The power of HNQ. I also got two unexpected badges out of what i thought was a simple everyday question.

@Scimonster True. Interestingly enough, it got the same amount of votes as another HNQ answer of mine (though I think that one deserves the more votes) shrug

@Scimonster I also got an Enlightened badge out of that answer (which also includes Nice Answer, so we're even on badges ;-)

Reminded me of judaism.stackexchange.com/q/45577/5323

(at least, what I first thought, there)
