==Awards==
{{Award2|image=JewishStarofJealousy.JPG|topic=[[User:Rachack/Jewish Star of Jealousy|The Jewish Star of Jealousy]]|text=This is a self-awarded [[Wikipedia: Awards|award]] awarded to anyone who feels so jealous that he has no awards that he had to award himself a self-awarded award to make his award section on his User Page look good. He also wants to see how many times in one sentences he can use the word "award" (last sentence was seven). If you feel jealous of others who prominently display their awards in their wiki User page, you can contribute productively to the all-knowing Wikipedia and hope that someone notices your hard work and awards you an award. Or you can drop a message on my TALK passage and ask for a Jewish Star of Jealousy at which point the joint council of the [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|Learned Elders of Zion]] and the [[Jedi Council]] will consider inducting you into the Jewish Star of Jealousy Hall of Fame which would give you the right to legally display your Jewish Star of Jealousy award in your very own Wikipedia User Page. I may also decide to randomly award this award to people or bots. --05:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[[User:Rachack|רח"ק]] | [[User_talk:Rachack|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Rachack|Contribs]]}}
