FAWS is correct, but (1) thanks for asking—I should have made that clear, and (2) props for calculating the ratio of the wordcounts. ;)
(Edit: I admit that I had actually suspected you were intentionally performing the experiment when I first saw your comment—I know I was intentionally writing a short, immediately-comprehendible comment myself, to invoke the effect; that made it plausible to me that you were intentionally writing a long, substantive comment for the same reason.)
No, I wasn’t performing an experiment, at least not intentionally. In fact, I didn’t count your comment as a cheap karma generator (I have even upvoted it, IIRC) - it was brief, but relevant reply to the OP, and not visibly funny.
It wasn’t meant to be a cheap karma generator—it was meant to be short and easy to confirm as good. The jokes everyone have been talking about are likewise.
