Fun Facts

Explanations

  • The page title, "20/200", is the visual acuity measurement used as the threshold for legal blindness.
  • The eye chart held up by Homestar is known as a "Tumbling E" chart.

Remarks

  • By using the Store button after selecting a button which triggers an animation (or by using the main page glitch), you can watch the scene unblurred.
  • The look of the page has been redesigned.
    • The buttons have a new, shinier look.
    • There is a little more space in the center.
    • The two striped sides are now a gradient, instead of a single color.
    • The shadows look more realistic.
  • Strong Bad is seen with underwear, but in New Boots, he claims he doesn't wear them.
    • In senior prom, Strong Bad has underwear, but they were boxers, instead of the briefs shown here.
  • The sky's design is the one used in the chair and Drive-Thru.
  • This main page lacks a loading screen.
  • The weeklies' pop-up windows are not blurred.

Goofs

  • The Weeklies buttons' text, when rolled over, are not in the correct spot.
  • The logos on Homestar's shirt extend outside the shirt.
  • On Main Pages 15, 21, and 24, at the main page quick links button (in the bottom left corner), the new main page 24 button overlaps the white stripe.
  • As the glasses are being put on and taken off, the scene becomes unblurred even outside the lenses.

Glitches

  • The newbutton.swf file slightly overlaps the frames of the glasses.
  • Main Page 24 is the only main page that currently (as of July 24, 2007) does not function correctly on the Nintendo Wii's web browser. The text on the links on the left side of the screen is missing, and the links are not clickable. The links also do not produce the roll-over effects either. The Main Page selection in the bottom left-hand corner is missing entirely. All of the buttons on the top right-hand corner are missing as well. Homestar also lacks the star on his shirt, and the blur effects are not visible (but the page is slightly faded).

Inside References

  • Homestar refers to his lack of visible fingers by asking, "How many fingers am I holding up?".
  • This is another appearance of Homestar's duckie shirt.
  • Strong Bad and Strong Sad both make references to Strong Bad's pants.
  • Homestar wears a Peacey P shirt
