"Thanks Mr Oath, your post made my day!"

Glad to have been of service.

If you're referring to this "Mr Ken Oath", I am indeed a fat Australian, but not that one. The last time I was caught in a fire, I was trapped on the top floor of a building, with no woman or children to murder, nor even a dog to kick. I almost died; but I did make the Channel 7 news, so that was good. 🔥 🥵 🔥

I had thought of making a "burn the candle at both ends", but I couldn't see a way to rotate the candles independently. There may well be other interesting combinations hidden away in there; let me know if you discover any. I have absolutely no artistic talent myself, so I couldn't help with making new shapes; however, I am very impressed with what I've seen others create.

Yes, I've also noticed increasing use of emoji at PM. At first it was just the odd smiley here and there, then some posts had multiple emoji; now I see hippo's signature is just: 🦛

As they're just text, they don't take up any substantial space (as an image would). Perhaps with enough <big> tags wrapped around them, they could appear as images: 

🦘

But that seems like far more effort than I'd want to go to on any sort of regular basis. Also, that's two bytes for the roo, and 165 bytes for all of the <big> tags. 😬
