Have you seen your User Settings? There is a Show quips on XP loss/gain messages option that triggers such messages.
D'Oh! I was aware of the quips. (I didn't really know I could disable them, although it was easy to suspect that, but that doesn't matter because they do not annoy me.) Only, I didn't realize this was one.
On a largely OT, I presume, basis: anyone care to explain it? I just can't make sense of it, possibly due to English not being my mother tongue. An USA/UK biased cultural reference, maybe? (Or am I just that ignorant?)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
