Xmas came early this year

Some of you may remember Christmas of 2012: a whole bunch of random people got between 10-5000 BTC just for posting their address in a chatroom. I got 100 BTC myself.

Something similar is happening right now on #bitcoin-otc (though with lower amounts). When did you last see something like this in real life? :)
