Sly has the answer:

Without a doubt it is one of my own. I appear in a dream sequence wearing diapers in STOP OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT. It makes me want to lower myself into a wood chipper headfirst every time I see it. God...if I could take every print of that movie and airdrop it across Iraq, the war would be over! People would run screaming into the streets begging to surrender saying "No more, no more, this is too inhumane!!"

Your Moment of Zen

Members of the high school graduating class of '08 were in 7th grade in 2003 when the Iraq war began.

Gulp.

Did a little research, and came up with the following:

New accounts start at +1. Garner enough upmods, and karma bonus kicks in, making the default score for a fresh post +2. How many upmods will it take though?

Our first test case shows that the account received +2 status after 48 upmods and 2 downmods, for a total of 46. However, 9 of those mods were +1 funny, which do not impart karma, for a new total of 37.

Further, since archived comments do not detail mod breakdown, several upmodded posts may contain +1 funny moderations, hidden under other mods.

Still, at this point, I think it's safe to say that you need approximately 35 upmods to go from start to karma bonus. I'll do another account later on in the week and see what the comparison is.
