A soon-to-be randomized template for the soon-to-be Main Page. This should have 60-80 facts, ideally. Currently at 80.

The Cloitsterizer (pictured) from suntan is based on a wooden piece of cheese on a string The Brothers Chaps once saw a kid dragging around in a thrift store.
Marzipan is named after marzipan, a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar.
According to the Old Characters Page, Coach Z wasn't much of a coach at the time, and he just added the title because it sounded "cooler than just Z".
Strongest Man in the World's page title claims to be the longest. However, the record actually goes to Shopping For Danger. Notably, both page titles are nineteen syllables long.

Fluffy Puffs (pictured) are a real marshmallow brand in Israel.
Strong Bad has more appearances than Senor Cardgage, Homsar, The Poopsmith, Pom Pom, and The King of Town combined.
The Old Characters Page said that the King of Town was Marzipan's father. However, this idea has since been abandoned.
Pom Pom's "voice" is a re-used sample of Mike Chapman blowing bubbles into a glass of milk, making his the only voice that is never recorded fresh for every toon.

There was originally going to be a sequel (pictured) to Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque, in which Dangeresque must defuse a bomb inside the DangeCar-esque.
In Weclome Back, Homestar says to "get this www.show back on the road.com". This URL redirects to the homestarrunner.com home page.
The Trogdor song was added to the Strong Bad Email dragon at the last minute by the Brothers Chaps, after Matt started spontaneously singing it while making breakfast.
Strong Bad has more appearances than Senor Cardgage, Homsar, The Poopsmith, Pom Pom, and The King of Town combined.

In the game Where's an Egg?, one of the suspects (pictured) resembles tennis player John McEnroe.
Behind the characters' silhouettes in each Halloween teaser is a different hidden message mocking those who try to reveal the costumes with a Flash decompiler.
In Weclome Back, Homestar says to "get this www.show back on the road.com". This URL redirects to the homestarrunner.com home page.
Strong Bad Email #22, sb_email 22, was actually made after #40. It was accidentally skipped, and later made and released with the page title "The Lost Email!".

Blue Laser Commander was originally going to be an Ungurait, a rejected species of bandit-like characters (pictured).
Combined, there is over 24 hours' worth of Homestar Runner content, as of the Trogdor Live Playtest @ GenCon livestream. Strong Bad Emails make up ten hours of the total.
The Brothers Chaps wrote a script for a toon called Soap Box Doiby. This toon was never finished, and the script was emailed to the Homestar Runner Wiki administrators.
The phone number at the end of Strong Bad Sings was originally 1-800-BAD-SONG, rather than 1-800-555-SBSINGS. However, it turned out that was a real number for a Limousine service.

Homsar's coloring is similar to that of the unused character Homeschool Winner (pictured).
Coach Z is named after Craig Zobel (as revealed in the Wonkavision interview).
Pom Pom is the only main character never to have said anything understandable as an English word.
Sketches for the Strong Bad Email vacation show places such as "Egg or Rice", "Fake Palms Resort", "Giant Book", "Cruckscrew Bend's Fairly Oversized Elbow Macaroni", "No Dumping and No Dumping Street", and "Not A Very Big Ball O' Belts".

Pressing L without caps on during Fluffy Puff Commercial causes the edges of the screen to be obscured by a silhouette of Abraham Lincoln's head (pictured).

The 136th Strong Bad Email, geddup noise, was originally going to be about kitchen appliances.

Fluffy Puffs (pictured) are a real marshmallow brand in Israel.
According to the Old Characters Page, Coach Z wasn't much of a coach at the time, and he just added the title because it sounded "cooler than just Z".
The Cheat is always referred to with the "The", with very few exceptions.
Coach Z's accent came from a depressing Midwestern voice that Matt Chapman and some friends would do in college.
