Silly Question - Not quite pointless answer

I have a fairly complex "Google Alert" set up to warn me of anything Crosby related arising on the internet.

Awhile back this drew my attention to a question raised on "Yahoo Answers".

The question was (and in view of the mis-spelling and lack of an important capital "C", I quote it exactly) - 

"How much would a Bing crosby vynle album cost?"

I thought that was a pretty silly question, so I logged in to the site and gave my response 
"Silly Question - It depends which one!"
Yesterday I was surprised to receive an email from "Yahoo Answers" telling me  

"Hey, Richard, look what you got!
Congratulations, you've got a best answer and 10 extra points!
Your answer to the following question really hit the spot and has been chosen as the best answer:
how much would a Bing crosby vynle album cost?
Go ahead, do your victory dance. Celebrate a little. Brag a little. Then come back and answer a few more questions!

Thanks for sharing what you know and making someone's day.

The Yahoo! Answers Team"

Over-awed by this terrible responsibiity I visited the site to discover that whilst I might have given the best answer, it was the ONLY answer. And I have yet to discover what I can do with the ten points that I was awarded. Buy a "vynle" album perhaps?
