SB's head

Strong Bad's head is a lightbulb! A trapezoidal lightbulb! --Homfrog 11:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, at least we know what his heads shape is.--Eddy king 15:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

(1) This may reveal the shape of his skull, sure, but that's hardly a surprise. (2) It is a cartoon, and cartoon physics may apply here - which is to say it may not recur or might even be freely contradicted down the road. - Qermaq - (^T/C) 17:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Did ya read-?

Is it "Did ya read- Dear Strong Bad," or "Dijjery Dear Strong Bad,"? I hear "Dijjery". --TotalSpace shipGirl 3 11:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not certain... my first guess was the first half of "didjeridu" but I thought that would just be silly... --phlip ^T_C 12:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Or the first half of that one rejected character. --TotalSpace shipGirl 3 12:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I dunno, but I interpreted it as "did you read." —BazookaJoe 13:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I thought of the didgeridoo as well when I saw it.

Wave Effect

I noticed that during the Cheat's "Youth Through Editing" remix of the intro, clicking on the Lappy's screen will still cause the usual distortion effect. The Spainish Inquisition 15:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, and it suffered the same results as in Sick Day. --Addict 2006 16:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I just thought it would be worth mentioning, considering the wierd camera angles in the sequence. The Spainish Inquisition 16:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Marzipans line

There is no doubt in my mind that that line thats in the transcript is incorrect. We're is a possible word, but Ditty sound nothing like the mystery confusing word. For a start, the word seems to start with a B. For all we know, she could be speaking in a forign language. (Make sense with the kosher tea)Its at times like this that I wish TBC had a way of answering our questions. --Gerkuman 15:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

That was my last guess. I don't even know what the line is. --Addict 2006 16:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

It sounded to me like "Word, booty." But, uh, that's just me. --TotalSpace shipGirl 3 16:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I only thought it up when doing all the subtitles for this. So I will change it accordingly if it does get changed here and a consensus is reached or something. --Addict 2006 16:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I definitely hear "word booty" but I haven't a clue what that means. Then again, I'm older than Strong Bad. - Qermaq - (^T/C)

17:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I hear "{something} duty", which makes a bit of sense in context. Would help if I could make out the "Something." --Jay (Gobble) 17:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

At first I thought she was saying something along the lines of "Word, dudey". But after listening again, I agree it's "{something} duty"; that would make more sense than my inital thought. It almost sounds like "We're duty", but I have no clue what that means. ~Garnet Jell-o~

Estimated ages?

Strong Bad says "Oh, yeah. I feel at least 10 years younger! Time to go relate with some 18-24 year olds!" This brings up two ideas. He goes to see Strong Sad, so that leads me to believe that Strong Sad is 18-24. Also, if Strong Bad wants to relate to people around 10 years younger than his real age, that could mean he's 28-34 years old.

The thing is, your theory i'ds contradicted by 'The Secrets I Keep'. In that they are around the same age Gerkuman 17:05, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, why would he choose Strong Sad to relate to? That angle doesn't make sense. But you'll note that Matt is 30 and Mike is 33 - that's their age, no? One could assume (if one was prone to speculation) that Strong Bad is about their age. - Qermaq - (^T/C)

17:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I see nothing contradictory in 'The Secrets That I Keep'. All it shows is what went on in their childhood, and it has no reference to ages whatsoever.

Still, this may give an age range for Strong Bad, but it offers nothing useful toward determining Strong Sad's age. - Qermaq - (^T/C)

19:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I think the comment about relating to 18-24 yr olds is based on that being considered the key demographic for those who specialize in "edgy humor." So I really don't think that it can in anyway be seen as a way to estimate Strong Bad's age (there have been plenty of people of all ages who have tried to appeal to this demographic, often by changing their appearence), as for why he picks Strong Sad???? That has me baffled too, unless you want to take into account that Strong Sad listens to college radio and may be of that age group (although I think we're getting really speculative here, well beyond encyclopedic bounds.)-

L'Chaim

Hey there Elcoolio, I wanted to ask you about L'Chaim as is pertains to this article. As I have heard it pronounce L'Chaim in hebrew is a three syllibol phrase (lo-high-em) whereas chai in english is one syllibol (ch-i). Isn't this just a coincidence in spelling? I R F 17:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

{What is written here is not from the perspective of someone who deeply studied the language, just of someone speaking it. Please read with it as such} Well, I'm not going to meddle in the affairs of Wikipedia, but I would have spelled "Lekhaim" (as I like to differentiate between the English or Hindi sound from the Hebrew one, but that would have ruined the joke). You can pronounce it le-kha-yim, or le-kha-im, but not "lo-high-em" or anything like that, unless you want to sound like a heavy-accented tourist. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 17:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

but I am a heavily accented tourist. I know how to make that scratchy k sound in le-kha-im, I just don't know what that sound is called or how to write it.

I R F

17:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

The Hebrew letter for the sound is Khet and the sound is called Voiceless uvular fricative. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 18:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Woman's Rights?

Don't you think that when Strong Bad says to Marzipan "I'm legally obligatted to have you here," is a reference to woman's right movements? - Hellote! I finally figured out I had time to do my user page. I don't know what i'm going to say, but i bet it'll be fun. So, gear up, because by the time you finish reading this, you will either be laughing really loud or shaking your head at REALLY bad humor (in this case, bad meaning terrible, not naughty).

This section isn't going to be very long. I'm one of those people that don't like to distribute information on the web, but i will give general facts. I live in the United States in Texas. There, I'm in high school with many nerdy friends. I have two dogs who are very nice and playful. My life is boring, so don't expect an autobiography any time soon. Yeah...so...onward. My sister first showed HSR to me with the sbemail lures & jigs. It wasn't the latest sbemail at the time, but it was still hilarious. My interest caught on, and here I am. Later, I found out about the Wiki, and here I am. Again.

Notable Contributions

I've decided to include a list of contributions made to the wiki:

Ok, I was just kidding. I have not made any major contributions nor do I have the time to. You might have better luck finding my user name in the talk and, maybe, STUFF departments.

Brain Busters

(Last Updated: January 19, 2008)

It's been a while, but that's because no one's answering. There is only a new question. The math problems will get better since I'm starting Algebra II soon, so be prepared for that. I'm still looking for suggestions. I've noticed the Brain Busters Sections seems...well, unorganized. If anyone has any suggestions of how to tidy it up a bit, please leave a message under "Suggestions" on my talk page.

Rules for QOW:

No looking it up on the internet. Please, it takes the fun out of guessing.
Date your entries on the talk page. If 2 people answer the question, this way I'll be able to tell who wins.
Only one winner per question
DO NOT COPY THE USER BOXES!!!
You can answer more than one problem, but after three in a row, take a break.
Only one guess per person per question
Everthing else is fair game

If you would like to add a rule or crap and complain about a rule, do so on my talk page.

Random Factoid

The Dome in the Monticello contains a hidden billiards room. Back then, it was considered illegal to play billiards in Virginia.

Math Problem

Last weeks answer:

Q: Suppose you're on Let's Make a Deal, and you're given the choice of three doors in the final round. Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

A: Yes (you have a 2/3 better chance of winning by switching)

This weeks problem:

None as of now

NO GOOGLE OR WIKIPEDIA

By the way, if you get the math problem right (by answering on my talk) i'll send a message to you and you get this user box as a reward:

2+2=4

This user has answered a math problem of the week correctly.

If you answer more than one correctly, then just put 2x at the end.

Question of the "week"

Last "Week":
Q: How many muscles are in an elephant's trunk?
A: Roughly 40000...amazing...
This Week:

eh...i'll do it later...

Finally, a way to show hall of fame! If you answer the question correctly (on my talk page), you get this user box free of charge!

QOW?	This user has answered a question of the week correctly.

If you answer more than one correctly, then just put 2x at the end.

Sbemails I sent

This section deals with all the sbmails I have sent. This doesn't mean that they have been answered, however. They're just here for fame purposes and proof if they do get answered. so here they are.

Yes, I like cars. Here's a list of 25 of my favorite cars (favorites order to come):

Minivans are a waste of metal.

Userbox Business

By the way, I'm trying to start a free business within the wiki of making userboxes (That's userboxii in the plural form in certain languages, or userboxen if you listen to Brian Regen). If you are too lazy to make your own userboxes or don't know how to, then just see me and I'll make one for you in your specs. Just leave a message on my talk page and I'll get back to you. Be patient! I only have 2 hands.
