Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

=== [[animal]] ===

=== deep sea fangily fish===
the deep sea fangly fish was featured in the beginning of the simpsons on december 12th 2004, sorry if i didn't edit this right, i tried my best

==== Pikmin thing? ====

the red steckled elbermung may be a paradoy of the bulborb from the game Pikmin.

*'''Note:''' I thought this might have merit, given that I've not played ''[[Wikipedia:Pikmin|Pikmin]]'' and it's not impossible, to my knowledge, that it could be a parody. Either way I don't think it deserved to just drop off like it did, and since I didn't want to get involved in an edit war, let's let it at least get Declined/Accepted first. (If it does get accepted, though, it desperately needs a rewrite. Bad grammar ahoy.) --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 13:04, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' What? Pikmin? Well, maybe other people will see the connection but I sure didn't.--[[User:Overused&Underappreciated|O&U]]
*'''Decline''' [http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/index.php?function=view_thread&threadid=340253 There's some similarity], but I doubt it. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 10:53, 12 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Finding Nemo ====

Deep-sea fangly fish, looks like the fish that first attacks Marlin in Finding Nemo.

*'''Decline.''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/Anglerfish Anglerfish] are by no means exclusive to Finding Nemo. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:42, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' - [[User:SailorMarzipan|SailorHippyGirl]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' This is a general comment not a reference citation. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:17, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 10:55, 12 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Revise & Accept''' change "the fish that first attacks Marlin in Finding Nemo" to "an [http://en.wikipedia.org/Anglerfish Anglerfish]" and this could be ok! --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera, who hasn't seen the page yet.]]
*'''accept''' [[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] Hmm, I first mentioned this on the [[Deep Sea Fangly Fish]] page.. one thing that differentiates both this and the finding nemo fish from a real anglerfish is the "christmas lights". *shrug*
**Are you sure about that? I saw Finding Nemo and as far as I can remember, the anglerfish in that film was pretty standard. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Delete''' This has been made irrelevant by the inclusion of a similar, but more relevant anglerfish comment on the page [[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
*'''Decline''' Sure, like angler fish never ever existed in anything besides Finding Nemo... --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Chased Marlin and Dory? I don't think that the fangly-fish has anything to do with Finding Nemo.

==== Second Wall Breaking ====
This is yet another e-mail when Strong Bad seems to know he's being watched by people in the line "goodbye everybody"

*'''Decline.''' I think that fourth wall breakage should be listed on its own seperate page at this point, as it's been done so much. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:42, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]
*''Decline.''' I made a new [[Fourth Wall Breaks]] page for this sort of thing. --[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
*'''Decline''' A lot (if not all) of the emails give me the impression that Strong Bad knows he's being watched. Therefore, this fact isn't interesting to me. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Decline''' It'd be more interesting to detail the instances they don't break the fourth wall. I mean, Strong Bad addresses the audience in the first few e-mails. --[[User:tender branson|tender branson]]
*'''Decline.''' Haven't we had something about the fourth wall in here already? Strong Bad Email in itself breaks the fourth wall. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' The Strong Bad e-mails make no sense if he doesn't realize he's being watched. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Strong Bad usually says something like "Send me email!" --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:18, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)

==== Soolnd ====

The Pardack has one of Strong Sad's legs as one of its arms

*'''Decline.''' Has been noted in transcript, is obvious to anyone watching the email. --[[user:Vannav|Vannav]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:19, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:sterrence|sterrence]]
**'''Second.''' -- Wow, a lot of seconds.... --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
**'''Second.''' I think this one's pretty much decided. --[[User:LynkStarr|LynkStarr]]
**Now, I'm sorry I did this to whoever made the funfact but... '''Second'''-- [[User:Bonkava!|Bonkava!]]

==== LCD Screen ====

When you click on the screen of the Lappy, it goes all "wavy", like on a normal labtop.

*'''Decline''' Already been noted --[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
*'''Decline (but move)''' It's a feature of the Lappy, not directly due to this email. Move it to the Lappy page. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' This is already at the [[Lappy 486]] page. --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 07:16, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]

==== Ridiculous ====

The statement that Strong Bad says "{The Cheat} uses NO computers!" is incorrect, since the Cheat animated the Fangly fish animation with his [Tangerine Dreams] computer

*'''Decline''' With something like this, I'm sure no one will mind if I just delete it, right? I'm just going to do that from here on in. --[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
**Absolutely. This kind of "Fun Fact" doesn't really belong in STUFF. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**What is this doing on here? Did somebody, like, not read the transcript before shoving this up? --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' for what I hope are extremely obvious reasons. Strong Bad doesn't even SAY "no computers". Forget STUFF, this should have been deleted right off the bat - in fact, it should never have been added. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Whole-hearted second.''' --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second^243.''' Anyone who actually listens to the email, and not just look at it because it 'Looks cool..duhh...pictures....'. I also DISTINCTLY heard '''NEW''' not NO. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]
***'''Second.''' Person who heard 'no computers' is hard of hearing? -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 13:15, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' This is a no no. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:21, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
*I'm not registered, just a comment... This is the stupidest thing ever. Delete it. It's "new" computers!

==== Christmas Lights ====

The fangly fish having Christmas lights is one of the few H*R references to Christmas. It is more often referred to as Decemberween.
*'''Accept''' Wow I just realized that. You are correct sir!
**'''Second''' Decemberween is the same as Christmas on H*R.com. This is made clear because on one of the Decemberween toons, the file name contains 'xmas'. --[[User:fatpie|fatpie]]
***That doesn't mean it's the same as Christmas (which it clearly isn't). It's just that the Decemberween cartoon is always brought out at Christmas. (Okay, except the last one. My point stands.) --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Please sign with <nowiki>--~~~</nowiki>; it's really easy. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Decline''' Decemberween isn't really Christmas; they just happen to be similar. Also, referring to "Christmas lights" doesn't seem like a direct reference to Christmas; blue and white "Christmas lights" aren't often called "Hannukah lights." --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Rewrite.''' I suggest:
<pre>Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few
references to Christmas on the site, since Christmas is replaced by
[[Decemberween]].</pre>
:...since this is an interesting point, but Decemberween and Christmas aren't the same. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

**I gotta '''Second''' this one. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
***Uh, what exactly are you seconding? [[User:Mister Mister|Mister Mister]] 19:39, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)
****Sorry, forgot an asterisk and was AFK for too long. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:42, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' Christmas really isn't usually referenced. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 13:16, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:22, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:sterrence|sterrence]]
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
*'''Decline''' Referencing the style of decoration does not necessarily mean referencing the holiday. They have Christmas lights for almost any occasion now, even just white-bulb ones for illumination. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' [[User:SailorMarzipan|SailorHippyGirl]]
**I've never heard "Christmas lights" used in any context outside actual Christmas decoration --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline.''' We're getting over-sensitive to references now! --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera]] 23:27, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:LynkStarr|LynkStarr]] 21:10, 6 Dec 2004 (GMT)

==== Subject Line, etc. ====

This is the first email in which we are shown the subject line. Also, this is the first email to have all the functions of a real email program (reply button, forward button, subject display), except for [[weird dream]].

*'''Decline''' Probably just a new feature of the Lappy, so the fact that this is the first email on the Lappy would cover it. Plus, email programs like those used in UNIX (i.e. <tt>mail</tt>) have all of the reply-like functions, but not on screen. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
**'''Second.''' (but something like this may not hurt on the Lappy page) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:23, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]

==== Lappy Startup Screen ====

The Lappy's boot-up process-- including the sound, the icon, and the logo text-- is very reminiscent of that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8].　--[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:51, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' This is already noted in the Fun Facts page of the toon. -- [[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
*'''Rewrite.''' If it's already noted, this version isn't quite accurate. The Mac startup sound is coded into the hardware, and has been for quite a while. The sound and icon, however, are part of the Mac OS. If you have a Mac, try starting it up using Linux - the sound is the same, but the screen is different. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Shorten and Rewrite.''' Same as above. --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Segmented Eyes ====

"Segmented Eyes" is a line from the "Ren and Stimpy" Muddy Mudskipper song.

*'''Decline.''' Segmented eyes = not at all unique to Ren & Stimpy. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Tim333|Tim333]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera]] 23:29, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' It's the scientific term. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:24, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
***Are you sure about that? I thought the scientific term was [http://en.wikipedia.org/Compound_eye "compound eyes"]. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]

==== These Speculations ====

"Check out all these speculations" may be a reference to the various forums on the internet that speculated about Strong Bad's new computer.

*'''Neutral.''' I just wanted to preliminarily STUFF this one, might need a rewrite to make it acceptable, or might not be interesting. Wanted to run it by others. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 23:04, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' (although somewhat reluctantly). I think this is a bit of a stretch. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
**'''Second''' --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' This is perfectly reasonable. --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' [[User:sterrence|sterrence]]
*'''Decline.''' This doesn't look likely to me. Strong Bad, for whatever reason, just seems to say speculations instead of "specifications". --[[User:Tim333|Tim333]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera]] 23:29, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:25, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== The Price is Right... Again ====

The way Strong Bad is describing Lappy could be a nod to the game show ''The Price Is Right''.

*'''Decline''' Someone sure likes trying to find what MIGHT be Price is Right references - just look at the Blue Star Ointment fact from the Fairstival. This is too much of a stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:25, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' It's an ad style that I've seen in all sorts of game shows. So:
<pre>The way Strong Bad describes
Lappy is in the style of many game shows.</pre>
:Thoughts? --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 00:37, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' [[User:SailorMarzipan|SailorHippyGirl]]
**'''Second.''' Although who's this Price is Right-obsessed person? -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 13:17, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Decline.''' Even with the rewrite, it's still a bit too obvious. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera]] 23:30, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
*'''Decline''' It's a reference to sbemail #66: the Show, which also spawned Main Page 19. --[[User:Tony|Anonymous]] 12:42, 1 Dec 2004 (PST)
*'''Rewrite.''' This is clearly a reference to [[The Show]]. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:28, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
**The setting is a reference to it, but nothing like Strong Bad's commentary has ever been heard on The Show. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Second''' for '''Rewrite.''' Definitely refers to "the show." TBC often has Strongbad randomly host toons. See SB's commentary on [[The King of Town DVD]] and his announcing in [[monster truck]]. An example rewrite would be:
**Strong Bad's gameshow-style descriptions of the Lappy and the easter-egg Anglerfish refer to [[The Show]]. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
***I reiterate: not true. Although this type of description is frequent in gameshows and the setting is taken directly from The Show, the description itself is never seen on the show. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== Speculations, Again ====

Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." this is a reference to Senor Cardgage's bizarre usage of common words.

*'''Decline''' Stretch...huge stretch --[[User:ninja pirate|ninja pirate]] 17:00, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second''' --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera]] 23:31, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept''' (somewhat reluctantly) Senor Cardage is supposed to resemble Strong Bad, but I will admit this fact does stretch it a bit. (And, capitalize the "This" in the second sentence.) --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 20:21, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:29, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
*'''Decline.''' This is not a reference to anything, it is merely one of Strong Bad's peculiarities. We don't need every word he says out of the ordinary deconstructed in these fun facts. --[[User:Tim333|Tim333]] 17:48, 4 Dec 2004 (EST)
*'''Decline.''' Just another Strong Bad malaprop. Cardgage isn't famous for bizarrely using common words - "combolations", "excardon" and "canceltation" are not common words. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' Fairly typical Strongbad lingo. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]

==== Just me being picky ====

The keyboard on the lappy is placed so high on the (toon)screen, that there is no way Strong Bad could have typed on it without it showing in the toon. (Needs rewording. Badly.)
*'''Accept.''' --[[User:J to the sag|J to the sag]]
*'''Neutral''' Shouldn't this be on the Lappy 486 page? It seems unlikely that this will be confined to just "animal". --[[User:Tim333|Tim333]]
*'''Accept.''' There's something wrong with this. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:30, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
*'''Accept but Move.''' It's definitely odd, but put this on [[Lappy 486]] unless things change next email. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 16:45, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Weird laptop ====

After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Weak decline.''' This isn't really very significant. But if the majority vote for it to be put on [[Lappy 486]], I'll concede. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

=== [[virus]] ===

==== Bubs' Broken JPEG ====
Surprised no one's written in with this yet: Bub's 'broken JPEG' face has a 'TH' on it, just like the [[Thnikkaman]] sign taped on his shirt in [[monument]]. It's noted in the Thnikkaman article, but not this email.

*'''Modify, accept.''' I don't see anything wrong with this one, as long as we remove "Surprised no one's written in with this yet" and "It's noted in the Thnikkaman article, but not this email." --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
:*'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 10:05, 12 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Pre-computer-destruction sound ====
The sound clip that plays when the "It's now safe to turn your computer off" message appears (just before the [[Compy 386]] is destroyed) is the same sound that plays just before [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Tandy 400]] explodes in [[gimmicks]]. Perhaps we'll hear it again when it's time for [[Lappy 486]] to bite the dust?

*'''Accept.''' Quite interesting. --[[User:TuqueeLukee|Tuquee]] 22:20, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' Take out "Perhaps we'll hear it again when it's time for [[Lappy 486]] to bite the dust?" and it'll be good. --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera]] 23:34, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 21:35, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''After first, before third.''' --[[User:sterrence|sterrence]]

==== Strong Sad's face ====
[[Strong Sad]]'s face is a reference to current mood icons that are used in blogs such as [http://www.livejournal.com livejournal.com]. He uses these kinds of icons on his [[Strong Sad's Lament]] page.

*'''Decline.''' Isn't this already noted in the transcript? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 09:53, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

[[Wikipedia:emoticons|emoticons]] he
uses in his [[Wikipedia:blog|blog]],
[[Strong Sad's Lament]].</pre>
Most H*R visitors, I think, are familiar with the idea of blogs and emoticons. If not, they can click to read about them on Wikipedia. This seems like a good compromise. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

==== Oh, a wise guy, eh? ====
Strong Bad saying "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|Three Stooges]], where [[Wikipedia:Curly Howard|Curly]] uses the very same phrase often.

*'''Delete.''' I'm not convinced that no one besides Curly has used this phrase.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

**'''Second.''' This phrase has indeed been used by many other people/characters besides Curly and Strong Bad, and there's no evidence it was a reference to any in particular. - [[User:SailorMarzipan|SailorHippyGirl]]
*'''Delete.''' This one seems kind of vague, though it definitely is a phrase associated with The Three Stooges. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

==== Breaking the fourth wall ====
This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails in which they do this are "[[flashback]]" (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black"), "[[for kids]]" where Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails, "[[the process]]" (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home), "[[huttah!]]", where The Cheat actually watches the e-mail on his own computer, and "[[extra plug]]" (the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished).

*'''Trim and redirect'''. This sounds very well put together, but it's a bit much for a fun fact. It sounds like it could use a page of its own which could then be linked to from a much smaller fun fact.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep''' I'm not entirely sure it should be redirected to a seperate page, but it definitely needs to be cut down, as it's a whole paragraph. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

**'''Second.''' [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once And Only Once]] -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 13:42, 7 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)

====Dan Vs. Jerome 2====

Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman

==== Soda Physics ====

The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.

=== [[personal favorites]] ===

The two real e-mails both pertain to the fall of the [[Tandy 400]] and the introduction of the [[Compy 386]]. It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].

*'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]

==== Trust ====
In both the [[The King of Town DVD]] and the [[Search for the Yellow Dello]] commentaries, Strong bad says, "You can't trust him as far as you can throw him." This may be a referance to the "Employee of the Month" Sponge Bob episode where Squidward says almost the exact same thing.

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

the red steckled elbermung may be a paradoy of the bulborb from the game Pikmin.

*'''Note:''' I thought this might have merit, given that I've not played ''[[Wikipedia:Pikmin|Pikmin]]'' and it's not impossible, to my knowledge, that it could be a parody. Either way I don't think it deserved to just drop off like it did, and since I didn't want to get involved in an edit war, let's let it at least get Declined/Accepted first.

==== Christmas Lights ====

The fangly fish having Christmas lights is one of the few H*R references to Christmas. It is more often referred to as Decemberween.
*'''Accept''' Wow I just realized that. You are correct sir!
**'''Second''' Decemberween is the same as Christmas on H*R.com. This is made clear because on one of the Decemberween toons, the file name contains 'xmas'. --[[User:fatpie|fatpie]]
***That doesn't mean it's the same as Christmas (which it clearly isn't). It's just that the Decemberween cartoon is always brought out at Christmas. (Okay, except the last one. My point stands.) --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Please sign with <nowiki>--~~~</nowiki>; it's really easy. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Decline''' Decemberween isn't really Christmas; they just happen to be similar. Also, referring to "Christmas lights" doesn't seem like a direct reference to Christmas; blue and white "Christmas lights" aren't often called "Hannukah lights." --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Rewrite.''' I suggest:
<pre>Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few
references to Christmas on the site, since Christmas is replaced by
[[Decemberween]].</pre>

==== Lappy Startup Screen ====

The Lappy's boot-up process-- including the sound, the icon, and the logo text-- is very reminiscent of that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8].　--[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:51, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Rewrite.''' If it's already noted, this version isn't quite accurate. The Mac startup sound is coded into the hardware, and has been for quite a while.

==== These Speculations ====

"Check out all these speculations" may be a reference to the various forums on the internet that speculated about Strong Bad's new computer.

*'''Neutral.''' I just wanted to preliminarily STUFF this one, might need a rewrite to make it acceptable, or might not be interesting. Wanted to run it by others. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 23:04, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== The Price is Right... Again ====

The way Strong Bad is describing Lappy could be a nod to the game show ''The Price Is Right''.

*'''Decline''' Someone sure likes trying to find what MIGHT be Price is Right references - just look at the Blue Star Ointment fact from the Fairstival. This is too much of a stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:25, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' It's an ad style that I've seen in all sorts of game shows. So:

**'''Second.''' --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera]] 23:30, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
*'''Decline''' It's a reference to sbemail #66: the Show, which also spawned Main Page 19. --[[User:Tony|Anonymous]] 12:42, 1 Dec 2004 (PST)
*'''Rewrite.''' This is clearly a reference to [[The Show]]. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:28, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
**The setting is a reference to it, but nothing like Strong Bad's commentary has ever been heard on The Show. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Second''' for '''Rewrite.''' Definitely refers to "the show." TBC often has Strongbad randomly host toons. See SB's commentary on [[The King of Town DVD]] and his announcing in [[monster truck]]. An example rewrite would be:
**Strong Bad's gameshow-style descriptions of the Lappy and the easter-egg Anglerfish refer to [[The Show]]. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
***I reiterate: not true. Although this type of description is frequent in gameshows and the setting is taken directly from The Show, the description itself is never seen on the show. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== Speculations, Again ====

Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." this is a reference to Senor Cardgage's bizarre usage of common words.

*'''Decline''' Stretch...huge stretch --[[User:ninja pirate|ninja pirate]] 17:00, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second''' --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera]] 23:31, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept''' (somewhat reluctantly) Senor Cardage is supposed to resemble Strong Bad, but I will admit this fact does stretch it a bit. (And, capitalize the "This" in the second sentence.) --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 20:21, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:29, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
*'''Decline.''' This is not a reference to anything, it is merely one of Strong Bad's peculiarities. We don't need every word he says out of the ordinary deconstructed in these fun facts. --[[User:Tim333|Tim333]] 17:48, 4 Dec 2004 (EST)
*'''Decline.''' Just another Strong Bad malaprop. Cardgage isn't famous for bizarrely using common words - "combolations", "excardon" and "canceltation" are not common words. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' Fairly typical Strongbad lingo. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]

==== Just me being picky ====

The keyboard on the lappy is placed so high on the (toon)screen, that there is no way Strong Bad could have typed on it without it showing in the toon. (Needs rewording. Badly.)
*'''Accept.''' --[[User:J to the sag|J to the sag]]
*'''Neutral''' Shouldn't this be on the Lappy 486 page? It seems unlikely that this will be confined to just "animal". --[[User:Tim333|Tim333]]
*'''Accept.''' There's something wrong with this. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 23:30, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
*'''Accept but Move.''' It's definitely odd, but put this on [[Lappy 486]] unless things change next email. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 16:45, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Weird laptop ====

After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Weak decline.''' This isn't really very significant. But if the majority vote for it to be put on [[Lappy 486]], I'll concede. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== Bubs' Broken JPEG ====
Surprised no one's written in with this yet: Bub's 'broken JPEG' face has a 'TH' on it, just like the [[Thnikkaman]] sign taped on his shirt in [[monument]]. It's noted in the Thnikkaman article, but not this email.

*'''Modify, accept.''' I don't see anything wrong with this one, as long as we remove "Surprised no one's written in with this yet" and "It's noted in the Thnikkaman article, but not this email." --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
:*'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 10:05, 12 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Pre-computer-destruction sound ====
The sound clip that plays when the "It's now safe to turn your computer off" message appears (just before the [[Compy 386]] is destroyed) is the same sound that plays just before [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Tandy 400]] explodes in [[gimmicks]]. Perhaps we'll hear it again when it's time for [[Lappy 486]] to bite the dust?

*'''Accept.''' Quite interesting. --[[User:TuqueeLukee|Tuquee]] 22:20, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Strong Sad's face ====
[[Strong Sad]]'s face is a reference to current mood icons that are used in blogs such as [http://www.livejournal.com livejournal.com]. He uses these kinds of icons on his [[Strong Sad's Lament]] page.

*'''Rewrite.''' I like this idea, but I'm uncomfortable with the livejournal reference. Even though it's mostly free, there are paid parts, and this isn't an ad site. What about:

[[Wikipedia:emoticons|emoticons]] he
uses in his [[Wikipedia:blog|blog]],
[[Strong Sad's Lament]].</pre>
Most H*R visitors, I think, are familiar with the idea of blogs and emoticons. If not, they can click to read about them on Wikipedia. This seems like a good compromise. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

==== Oh, a wise guy, eh? ====
Strong Bad saying "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|Three Stooges]], where [[Wikipedia:Curly Howard|Curly]] uses the very same phrase often.

*'''Delete.''' I'm not convinced that no one besides Curly has used this phrase.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

==== Breaking the fourth wall ====
This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails in which they do this are "[[flashback]]" (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black"), "[[for kids]]" where Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails, "[[the process]]" (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home), "[[huttah!]]", where The Cheat actually watches the e-mail on his own computer, and "[[extra plug]]" (the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished).

==== Creeping Death ====
The sign at the auction where we see the Poopsmith and Pom Pom says "CREEPING silent DEATH auction" which could be reference to Metallica's "Creeping Death", which was a reference to one of the Plagues in The Bible.

*'''Accept/Rewrite:''' I can buy that this is a ref. to Metallica because TBC have other Metallica refs (see [[Carol]]). Also Creeping Death (caps) and silent auction (lower case) make sence together.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]

In the haunted locka-room, there is a sign in the top-left corner that says, "WEAR FLIP FLOPS." This may be a reference to the in-joke "[[Wear a Bikini!|WEAR A BIKINI!]]" Or it may just be because it's good policy to wear flip flops in public showers.

**'''Second.''' [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once And Only Once]] -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 13:42, 7 Dec 2004 (MST)

*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

====Dan Vs. Jerome 2====

Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Ulipson a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman

=== [[personal favorites]] ===

The two real e-mails both pertain to the fall of the [[Tandy 400]] and the introduction of the [[Compy 386]]. It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].

*'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]

==== Trust ====
In both the [[The King of Town DVD]] and the [[Search for the Yellow Dello]] commentaries, Strong bad says, "You can't trust him as far as you can throw him." This may be a referance to the "Employee of the Month" Sponge Bob episode where Squidward says almost the exact same thing.

Talk:I Think I Have a Chance With This Guy

superdotman: opinion

== France ==
Are you sure she doesn't say "Hope I go to 'Prance' with this guy," rather than France?

It's definitely France. Don't think they've even mentioned Prance, Dortugal, Potamia, or any other made-up countries in a while.

==Thomas==
Are you sure he isn't Tom, rather than Paul? It sounds more like Paul, but nobody's heard of Paul. Tom was introduced, and in the TGS series, too. Besides, he was talking on the phone; that could have decreased the quality. In addition, What's Her Face says "I think I have a chance with this guy" about Thomas in Teeny Tiny Girl Squad. -Superdotman
*Except that Thomas has never been known to speak or go by "Tom". --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 01:22, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)

Talk:Far Off Lands

superdotman — Mon, 13 Dec 2004 00:33:44 GMT

superdotman: opinion

This page states that Thomas is from Far Off Lands, but the term Mrs. Commanderson uses is "foreign lands". Should we differentiate? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

Perhaps. I thought she said "Far Off". Perhaps we should remove it from the article, unless we want to merge the concept of foreign lands and Far off lands.-[[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 11:29, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)

:We should merge them. [[Cold One|Room Temperature Ones]] are brewed in Foreign Lands. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

They shouldn't be merged. Foreign Lands and Far-Off Lands are two completely diferrent places; there's no proof otherwise. Think of the completely different analogy of Bubs' Concession Stand and Strong Badia. There's just no proof they're the same place (yes they're close, I know that). -Superdotman

I think that "Foreign Lands" and "Far off Lands" are similar enough to be included in the same article until we have a heck of a lot more info. Far Off lands are a specific case of Foreign Lands. They are both terms for places outside [[Free Country, USA]] which is fairly insular if the globe on [[Main Page 1]] is any indication. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 15:11, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)

True, but from what we've seen of Thomas' anatomy, Foreign Lands might be outside Free Country, USA, Earth. Far Off Lands is definitely on planet Earth. -Superdotman

''{He rocks his head back and forth as if he were banging it on a door}'' The Poopsmith! Trick or treat! ''{The Poopsmith offers some of his dung.

''{cuts to Strong Sad in his seance}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Credenza! Credwenzia! Crewdenz--

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's been two hours and we haven't heard anything. Credenza must hate me.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no! Maybe I just need to do this some more. Credenzell!

''{they hear a knocking sound}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's that? That must be him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yup. That sounds like a ficus.

''{it's Homestar Runner on the porch}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me in. Da, Da, Da. Let me in!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, you're not a dead ficus plant!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're so smart. I'm Homestar Runn--

'''The King of Town:''' Doo! Not bad for a first course. I'm still hungry.

''{cuts back to everyone at Marzipan's house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I told you I'd get a million libs of candy.

'''BUBS:''' That sure doesn't smell like candy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, you're right! Poopsmith? Did you give me some bum candy?

'''BUBS:''' ''{snickers}'' He sure did!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Any minute now. ''{electrical disturbances occur}'' Oooo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa! Electrical disturbances. There's definitely a powerful spirit present.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do you mean, like, the spirit of giving?

''{outside the King of Town is eating a string of candycorn lights}''
'''The King of Town:''' Oot oh. oot ooh.

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to be kidding me! Stop doing that right now.

''{she goes back in}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Homestar asks "Did you give me some bum candy?" You can click on The Poopsmith to see Homsar's secret costume, Slash from Guns N Roses.
:'''HOMSAR:''' I'm open for interpretations!

*At the end when eveyone is standing around, click the rightmost candycorn light to see a bonus video! See "External Links" to view this video.
:''{Puppet Homestar is at a tennis court dressed as John McEnroe, holding a tennis racquet.}''

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously! You can't be serious! That ball was on the line! ''{taps ground with his racquet}'' Come on! I don't believe this. ''{he throws his racquet on the ground and storms off.}''

*After the cartoon is over you can click on some people to make things happen. These people are:
**'''The Poopsmith'''
::''{The Poopsmith rockets off to the right, flaming.}''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool. Flaming Poopsmith.
::''{The Poopsmith reappears from the left.}''
**'''Strong Bad'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I really like your El Debarge costume.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm not El Debarge.
::'''BUBS:''' No, no, he's Miami Sound Machine.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I'm not.
::'''COACH Z:''' He's Terence Trent D'arby!
::'''STRONG BAD:''' No,I'm Carmen freakin' Mir- no, wait. I'm Ozone. From Breakin'.
**'''Strong Sad'''
::'''COACH Z:''' Well, Strong Sad, this is a beautiful house you got here.
::'''STRONG SAD:''' This is not my beautiful house!
::'''COACH Z:''' Oh, and I haven't been introduced your beautiful wife yet, neither.
::'''STRONG SAD:''' This is not my beautiful wife!
**'''The Cheat'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, The Cheat... um... dress up as something different next year. Thing's creeping me out.
**'''Bubs'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, Bubs, I really like your dirty man outfit.
::'''BUBS:''' Whatever you say, Homestar.
**'''Marzipan'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Marzipan, what's with your sweater costume?
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Log Lady, huh? Maybe you should get together with the Poopsmith!
**'''Coach Z'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Wesley Snakes outfit.
::'''COACH Z:''' I'm Kool Moe Dee! You know, from The Treacherous 3?
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, see, I only saw Treacherous 1 and 2, so, um, I wouldn't know.

*If you give Bubs and Coach Z the pumpkin candy basket next to them by the "House that gave sucky treats" door, Stinkoman comes out, dressed as Speed Racer - see the transcript. Stinkoman will also appear if you click on the light switch on the left side of the screen.

== Fun Facts ==
*See [[Halloween Costumes]] for more information on what everyone was wearing.
*If you give Stinkoman the jar with "Akira" on it youll get a surprise from the Anime movie of the same name.
*The Cheat's costume may refer to the first Homestar Runner book, which was written during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
*Strong Bad references the first Halloween toon when he says "I'm Carmen freakin Miranda!" and the second Halloween toon when he says "I'm Carmen freakin Sandiego!"
*Coach Z's mention of Strong Sad's beautiful house and beautiful wife is a reference to the Talking Heads' song "Once in a Lifetime".
*When Homestar says "I told you I'd get a million libs of candy", he is trying to pronounce the abbreviation of pounds: "lbs".
*Coach Z's old school rap is the beginning of the fourth verse of the Geto Boys' "Mind Playin Tricks On Me".
*This toon suggests that [[Stinkoman]] lives in the present, and even in this country! This contradicts both all good sense and [[time capsule]], so don't worry about it.
** Remember, Stinkoman is from the future, so they might HAVE time machines then.....
*When Homestar says "someone is grabbing my butt," it is most likely Bubs, since he is right behind Homestar. Or his imagination.
**His line may be a reference to [[1 step ahead]].
*The sound the King of Town makes when he eats the candy corn lights is the same as when he eats the food flung at him in the game [[Revenge of the King]]
*The Delicious "Bag" is a reference to [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*Cosplay (as mentioned in Stinkoman's greeting) is a form of dress-up done usually at anime conventions, where people dress up as anime characters they enjoy.
*The line "I'm a demon on wheels!" from Stinkoman's intro is taken from the Speed Racer theme song.
*If one listens well enough during the Credenza chant, one can hear an oddly accented voice, but it is not Coach Z. Even if you do not activate the associated Easter Egg, you can still distinctly hear Homsar's voice at the end of the chant (he's not saying anything different, his voice merely continues for a second after the others end).
* In the scene where Strong Sad is chanting Credenza's name by himself with Marzipan in the room, his voice sounds like it's reversed. This is a reference to certain scenes in the Twin Peaks series, where scenes were filmed with the actors speaking their lines backwards, then played in reverse. The lines ended up being "reversed" twice, making them understandable, but sounding very creepy.
*When everyone says "Yay!" together, it sounds like when they say it when [[The Strong Bad]] falls off the cliff in [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]].
*This toon marks the the third time [[Witches' Brew]], an inside joke of tremendous proportions, has been mentioned.
*[[Van Buren]]'s face is on the coins given to Homestar at the beginning, marking yet another relatively-famed inside joke.
* The flaming manuever the Poopsmith does when you click on him is M. Bison's Psycho Crusher attack from Street Fighter.
*In every other Halloween episode (except the first, for the obvious reason that Homsar didn't exist yet), activating Homsar causes him to appear with the rest of the group at the end. This episode is the exception - whether or not you activate Homsar or Stinkoman, they do not appear at the end.
*Homestar wears pants. This doesn't seem to happen very often.

'''BUBS:''' So, what are you gettin' into tonight, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Marzipan and those are gonna try to summon the spirit of her dead ficus plant, but that sounds dumb and boring, so I'll probably just end up trick-or-treatin'.

'''BUBS:''' What about Strong Bad? What's he doin'?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. You can never tell with that guy.

''{Strong Bad approaches the concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok, Bubs. I'll have 90 rolls of toilet paper and 60 dozen eggs. ''{looks around}'' ...and a corn dog.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It's a deal! ''{The King runs off, taking his eggs and toilet paper with him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I thought.

*When everyone says "Yay!" together, it sounds like when they say it when [[The Strong Bad]] falls off the cliff in [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]].
*This toon marks the the third time [[Witches' Brew]], an inside joke of tremendous proportions, has been mentioned.
*[[Van Buren]]'s face is on the coins given to Homestar at the beginning, marking yet another relatively-famed inside joke.
* The flaming manuever the Poopsmith does when you click on him is M. Bison's Psycho Crusher attack from Street Fighter.
*In every other Halloween episode (except the first, for the obvious reason that Homsar didn't exist yet), activating Homsar causes him to appear with the rest of the group at the end. This episode is the exception - whether or not you activate Homsar or Stinkoman, they do not appear at the end.

'''The Moon''' is a popular destination of the people of [[Free Country, USA]]. This is where [[Strong Bad]] likes to play tennis with the [[Coach Z]].

Strong Bad tries to fly [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] there after drinking a bottle of Soy Sauce in the email "[[personal favorites]]". He also announces his intention to retire on the moon after stealing [[The King of Town]]'s crown in the [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].

The flavor of [[Fluffy Puff Air Puffed Sugar Delights]] will also send you to the moon, as seen in the toon, "Mr. Shmallow".

Witch's Brew

superdotman — Sat, 11 Dec 2004 22:53:22 GMT

superdotman: added sighting

[[Image:Witches\'_Brew.PNG|thumb|127px|Br�e, Times Two.]]

Witches' Brew is a phrase that [[Homestar Runner]] happens to say a lot. Especially in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]. Although technically, it's really [[Strong Bad]] who says it first, since he's dressed up as Homestar at the time. (Yes, the origin of this reference seems to be ''that'' complicated.) Witches' Brew appears to consist of some unknown "cold-hot-fresh" concoction. It may cause the side effects of wine, women, and song, but it is drinkable, at least by the [[The Cheat]]. It does not cure hiccups, however.

== Sightings ==
*In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], the reference premieres courtesy of [[Coach Z]]'s W-carved pumpkin.
*In [[the show|The Show]], the phrase is included on Homestar's gameshow cards, albeit spelled differently as "witch's brew."
*In [[Arcade Game]], Homestar's tax form says he spent $2000 on witches' brew.
*In [[Three Times Halloween Funjob]], when Strong Sad tells everyone to say "Credenza" with him, Homestar says "witches' brew" instead.
*In [[english paper|English Paper]], Homestar's screen name is witchesbrew82.
*In [[Homestar vs. Little Girl 2]], Homestar asks the Little Girl what she would put in her own witches' brew.
*In [[Halloween Fairstival]], Homestar peddles an unknown concoction as a Witches' Brew, labelled "Br�e."
*There is a Weekly Fanstuff of a Wisconsin Lisence plate that says, "WCHS BRU".

Halloween Costumes

superdotman — Sat, 11 Dec 2004 22:36:13 GMT

superdotman: renew

Each year, the Halloween Cartoons feature the characters dressed in different costumes, usually of pop icons and celebrities.

The costumes are generally "vintage," in that they feature characters who were either popular in the 80's and 90's, or just plain obscure, although it is uncertain if this is simply a style choice, or done deliberately to give the cartoons a more "timeless" feel.

== Witches' vs. Witch's ==

In [[the show]] and [[Arcade Game]] it's spelt "witch's". Why is it "witches'" here? --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 20:32, 13 Nov 2004 (MST)

It's a matter of grammer.--[[User:Hysterical Woman|Hysterical Woman]] 22:20, 13 Nov 2004 (MST)

"Witches'" is only correct if we know the brew belongs to more than one witch. To my knowledge, we don't. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 11:56, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)

It probably just varies, then. Keep in mind the Brue spelling, then WCHS BRU in a weekly fanstuff. -Superdotman

Am I the only one who hears Strong Bad's sign-off as "everything is awesomely..."? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

At the end when Strong Mad is chasing SB, if you tab to get the little yellow equare on clickables, there are four steps but only three immediately visible things to click on. The Paper, SB's face, back, and then if you hit tab again the square will disappear. Hit it again and it's back to The Paper. Normally, it would go directly from back to The Paper. Does this mean that perhaps something is invisible here? --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 00:48, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)
It could be that it's selecting the URL. That's what happened when I tried it. -Superdotman

'''Strong Bad Email #23'''

Ashley and Anthony ask what Strong Bad would do if a little animal came up to him.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Mad]], [[The Strong Bad]] (easter egg), [[Strong Man]] (easter egg), [[The Sneak]] (easter egg)

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh what's this? An email... for me?!

<pre>What would you do if a little animal came
up to you.

crapfully yours,
Ashley and Anthony</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Um, I don't really know. Let's find out. ''{He turns left and calls for The Cheat.}'' Oh, The Cheat! Come here for a moment!

'''THE CHEAT:''' Uynuen.

''{The Cheat comes to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummmm...

''{Strong Bad kicks The Cheat hard, causing him to fly offscreen. Strong Bad turns back to the computer and resumes typing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, there's your answer. A little animal comes up to me... I'd kick it. ''{stops typing}'' Okay so until next week, everything is awesome and...

''{Suddenly, Strong Mad appears next to Strong Bad looking very angry.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, er, hey big guy. Er, you know, I'm just kicking The Cheat.

''{The Cheat appears beside Strong Mad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Er, it's a little joke. You know we got the people watching at home. Just trying to be kind of funny for them, with the joke. A joke-kick. I'm gonna KICK YOU TOO!!!!!

''{Strong Bad kicks Strong Mad on his knee and runs away across the room with Strong Mad chasing him behind while music is playing. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*Once Strong Bad starts running, click on his head or hit the 'o' key to switch to "Sir Strong Bad" [[1936]] style Old cartoon.

==DVD Version==
*If you click the hidden Strong Bad head in front of Strong Mad's foot, you'll get the same Old Timey Easter Egg as the cartoon, but with additional spoken text by Sir Strong Bad, as well as a music change to The Homestar Runner's little ditty.

===Easter Egg Transcript===

'''THE STRONG BAD:''' Dear Feets. Stop. Don't fail me now! Stop. Signed, Strong Bad.

===Fun Facts===
*Sir Strong Bad's dialogue is done in the style of using a telegramophone, and is probably in particular a reference to his Easter Egg appearances in [[50 emails]] and [[flashback]]

Talk:The Paper

Should this be under some directory? like...thingies or something? Just a thought. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 14:48, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

:That's a good question. I know we'll have something like "Inside Jokes", where most the stuff form the "InsideJokes" page will go. Then there's going to be the stuff that was in the Rejects. They aren't going to be "Rejects", and they will all have their own page, but yeah, we'll have to have a catagory or something for them. The Paper... I don't know. I know there's a "Characters" catagory, and a "Main Characters" category for "The Twelve", but I can't think of anything right now. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:15, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

::This could sound kinda silly, but we can put the paper in a section called "Integral Elements", along with SB's comp. and stuff like that, like things that aren't characters or settings, but are integral to each SBEmail or whatever. Whatcha think? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:53, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::Hmm... Is this where Coach Z's "Z" would go? How about Strong Mad's singlet? Homestar's hat? The stool? The get up noise? Strong Bad's shoe? Marzipan's hair? Where do we draw the line? Arg. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:30, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

::::Well, you pose a good question. I think the "Integral Elements" is a good idea for the important stuff like compy and whatnot...for the unimportant, I think maybe we can have a "Misc." or "Odds'n'Ends" type thing...but you're right...a line has to be drawn. Arg indeed. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 20:51, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

== E-mail Address ==

I'm not certain when it happened, but some time ago, the paper changed from simply
<pre>Click here to e-mail strong bad</pre>
to include his e-mail address. When was that? --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 15:22, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

It changed in 21, [[cartoon]]. --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 16:16, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

== DVD ==

Apparently there are some more The Paper oddities in the Strong Bad DVD. I don't own the DVD but could someone who does please update this page to reflect this? [[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]|[[User_talk:Hobophobic|talk]]

== Gender ==

More of an interesting observation, but does that mean that The Printer is Female ([[invisibility]]) and The Paper is Male ([[animal]])? Wow...

Nope, see the last bullet.

[[Image:ThePaper.jpg|thumb|right|'''The Paper''', doing what it does best.]]
:''This article is about the item. For the user, see [[User:The Paper]].
A piece of paper that comes down after each [[Strong Bad Email]]. It reads: <tt>Click here to e-mail strong bad</tt>. Usually, this event signals the end of the e-mail. However, the majority of easter eggs can be found after The Paper has come down, either by waiting or clicking on words Strong Bad has typed. Nobody knows where The Paper actually comes from, since Strong Bad does not seem to have a printer. This seems to have no effect on this seemingly magical The Paper and it can sometimes be seen manifesting itself out of the clear blue skies. According to the Strong Bad Email [[montage]], it looks as though it will be replaced by an inkjet printer after email #173. That, of course, remains to be seen.

== Abnormal Sayings ==
The paper shows up in a couple other places too, saying different things.

*At the end of [[Superbowl Dealie]], it reads, "Due to the big game, the Strong Bad Email will be late this week."
*At the end of [[Arcade Game]], it reads, "Click here to play the Trogdor arcade game."
*At the end of [[duck pond]], it reads, "Click here to play 'Duck Pond'".
*On the [[The King of Town|King of Town]] main page, click on [http://www.homestarrunner.com/kingmail.html e-mail] and wait until it is over. The paper comes down and reads, "Nobody wants to e-mail The King of Town. For real"!
*In the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/crazycartoon.html Toons Menu version] of [[Crazy Cartoon]], it reads "The End".
*It also displays the menu options on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD, as well as a "bottom-feeding Paper" reading "Make your selection and mash GO, moron!"
*In the email [[animal]], it tells Strong Bad "Enough already, Strong Bad" above the usual email information.
[[Category: Computers]]

== Other "The Paper" Oddities ==
*At the end of [[the bird]] it comes down from the sky. Pom Pom lifts the corner and peeks under.
*In [[superhero name]], a comic book with an "email Strong Bad" link appeared in lieu of The Paper.
*At the end of [[guitar]] Strong Bad uses the [[BMW Lighter]] to scorch the paper.
*There is a printer, and apparently it's female. This may be a reference to computer parts, where the ends are called male or female. Most printers, however, are male. Keep clicking the knobs of the Tandy 400 at the end of [[invisibility]], and eventually the screen says, "tell the printer i'll miss her."
*At the end of [[50 emails]] it comes down prematurely, ending an e-mail which in Strong Bad's opinion was not quite over. Indeed, The Paper seems to have a mind of its own!
*In [[japanese cartoon]] The Paper is an anime credits list.
*Strong Bad also uses The Paper in the [[autobiography]] email. This time he prints the email out from his computer, like you would with a normal printer. The actual location of the printer is probably forever a mystery, much like Strong Bad's ability to type with boxing gloves for hands.
**Later in this e-mail, The Paper takes a while to signal the end of the e-mail due to a paper jam.
*In [[big white face]], it again comes down from the sky, and [[The Poopsmith]] tries to push it up with his shovel.
*Apparently The Paper can follow orders, though. See [[date]], where Strong Bad instructs The Paper when to come down and bring the e-mail to a close.
*In [[couch patch]], you can make the computer print a million dollar bill in an easter egg.
*In [[extra plug]], even when the power is out, The Paper still comes down, thanks to Strong Mad & The Cheat.
*In [[animal]] The Paper's gender is set as male, with Strong Bad asking 'him' to come down and meet the new computer, Lappy 486. This is also the first time The Paper has moved in smaller increments and even moved partially back to the top of the screen before coming down all the way.
*The Paper and the printer are therefore separate identities, as The Paper is male and the printer is female. I'm guessing The Paper is the printer's son.
