I think it's more than impressive that Cort Ammon broke the 6-digit rep barrier with a score of 100,169 as of this writing. He broke the barrier sometime yesterday or this morning. Stack Exchange probably doesn't throw parties for such feats, but I'm thinkin' it deserves some note. WB's been around for a while now and it's taken quite some time and effort to climb that mountain.

Therefore, what would be an appropriate Kudo to give to Cort? The accepted answer will be one that is most relevant to the practices and intent of Worldbuilding, reflects the culture and character of the site, and is the most outrageous.

    $\begingroup$ When last I checked, Stack Exchange has sent users swag packages when they reached 100k on a site. Cort may want to consider contacting SE, although I can ask about that. Update: I've just confirmed with a Community Manager that they still do this. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @HDE226868 They did contact me. I'm sure it was an automated script that sent out the initial email, but it elicited a wonderful "They do care!" feeling =) $\endgroup$

Have the artist who drew the site's background draw a scene involving the subjects of Cort's top 5/10 answers, interpreted in the most creative (and possibly hilarious) way possible.

Or, a good-quality printed version of one of the greatest answers ever posted on this site.

    $\begingroup$ An inspired rendering of a young girl exploring how to cook an egg via magic would be so satisfying. It'd totally fit with the site's decor too! $\endgroup$

Naturally, we should do what happens in the Real World (TM) when someone shows promise of this sort --- give him MORE & HARDER WORK to do!

A T-shirt with the background of the site in it.

    $\begingroup$ Would a site background with a T-shirt in it suffice? We'd save on postage and we don't need to know his size... $\endgroup$

@Cort Ammon is the Jon Skeet of Worldbuilding.

We should make an Ammon Facts post on Meta or Worldbuilding Meta, like the Skeet Facts post.

And then we should tag it with a new Cort-Amon tag so when he answers it, he will get the tag badge.

    $\begingroup$ First there was God and he said "let there be light" and Cort Ammon popped in and said "Hang on a moment, that's a bit handwavy, how about we set down some proper rules" and then there was Nuclear fusion (and therefore light). $\endgroup$
