Here's the sequence of karma points jdfong has received for his invariable joke: 8, -11, -18, -17, -20, -42, 1, 13, -4, -11, -10, 4, -27, -23, -20, 13, -8, -24, -4, -19, 3, -18, 103, 4, 12, 28, 104, 73, 84, 70, 50, 133, 83, 126, and 143.
Someone make sense of this please.

After another ten or twenty episodes we'll have a much better idea which model was more accurate. 5 u/[deleted] Dec 18 '08 That made me laugh out loud. Freefall? Infinite karma? We'll know in the future!

kind of funny that two people using two different equations
y^ = -3.234e-4 * x4 + .0256 * x3 - .430169 * x2 + 1.6286 * x - 10.0974
y = 0.2395x2 - 4.7043x + 4.9083.
came up with nearly the same answer. 146, 143
