I got three mans!

In most Videlectrix games, "Mans" is used in lieu of "Lives" or "Men". While "lives" is the typical industry standard for gaming, some companies/games have been known to use "Men". In previews for Homestar Runner-related games or any other situation where the number of mans won't change, "3 mans" is normally displayed. (In Rabbit Algebra, however, 2x=6 is displayed. In this equation, x=3.) This is also a reference to bad translations (see Deliberately Poor English).
