Well hello, in that case you fell for it.
Um, no, I didn't. If I had said "Congrats: Frostbreath - Gold whistle", I would've fallen for it, but I checked to make sure that you're not joking.
When somebody says "hey, look, over there, an elephant", there's a difference between looking because you believe that there really is one and because you want to see it, and looking because you suspect that there probably isn't one but want to be sure.
And a gold whistle is not so far-fetched that it couldn't have possibly been true. If you had said "hey look, I just ranked up to #1 in the B/P user list!", I wouldn't have bothered checking, since that *obviously* would not have been true (like a pink elephant), but it was something that could've been. LittleWashu got a gold whistle a while ago, so why shouldn't you have been able to, too?
