This was better than usual in my view. I think the Brothers are coming out of their... funny-block. Anyone agree? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

Yeah, for a bit, they kinda went into a slump. The only thing that kept me watching was the hope that they would start being funny again(and Doug the Dino. Gotta love ol' Doug!). Now it seems they may be climbing their way back on top.

I wouldn't ever stop watching Homestar Runner. Not for a million years! -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

Alright, well, I liked The Facts and Cheat Commandos Ep 3 better than this one :)  I don't think they've been in a slump for upwards of a month (perhaps 2, perhaps 3) and have been pleased with their contemporate work :)<BR>

What made you think that they had been in a slump? Seriously, explain, because it hadn't really occurred to me.

YAH I WAS THE FIRST GUY TO ADD ALL THE EASTER EGGS TO Time Capsule email before i did it all it said is "this sucks" -Silvermonkey8

Isn't the casette tape in the easter egg going backwards? -gront 

REMOVE: This song sounds in no way like "Let it burn" by Usher, I seriously doubt this is a reference. The only similarity that I see between Usher and Strong Bad, is that they both produce a ton of number one jams! -[[User:smoothmedia|smoothmedia]]

If dry ice was in the capsule, and the capsule was tight and strong enought to keep from leaking, opening, or exploding, wouldn't the gas expanding cause it to cool down and thus make a white fog shoot out? [[User:DanielLC|Daniel]] 22:19, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

===Isle of Pom? (DECLINED)===
The time capsule looks an awful lot like the The Isle of Pom.

*'''Uhhm, it's a DECLINE, no, and I hate you get out.''' I betcha I know why the person wrote this "fun" fact. Probably 'cause it's gross and nasty and old and they didn't want it. Y'know, I think (in sarcastic voice) Pom-Pom's  voice sounds an awful freakin' lot like Mike friggin' Chapman blowing BUBBLES IN HIS MILK! Oh, man. I peed my carpet.

*I really don't see what's wrong with this fun fact. It's true the time capsule looks like the Isle of Pom. Plus, fans wouldn't be able to tell unless they go to the museum, which I myself didn't bother looking at until I was a hardcore fan. Yes, a capsule is a common shape, but I haven't seen it on the website too much, which makes it stand out a little. So '''Accept'''. - [[User:Song from 60s|Song from 60s]] 22:36, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

===Norse mythology (DECLINED)===
The line about making people from spit may be a reference to a Norse myth, in which the Aesir (war gods) and Vanir (fertility gods), to seal a peace treaty between them, made a man (named Braugi) from their collective spit. He knew all their combined secrets, but was eventually killed by giants.
*'''Decline.''' It's more likely a reference to the fact that spit contains DNA, and it may one day be possible to clone someone from their DNA. <small><tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|<font color=#8B0000>Aurora the Homestar Coder</font>]]</tt></small> 15:03, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

*'''Revise and Accept.'''  This is a FUN FACT!  Mind you, I highly doubt this is what TBC were trying to reference, but my life has been enriched by reading this.  I would suggest rewriting it, however, to say "There is a story in Nordic mythology in which the Aesir (war gods)...."  This way, there's no suggestion that TBC was trying to reference this fact.--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 16:24, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' No way does this work.  The whole joke is based on the popular misconseption of what cloning is.  Clones are genetic twins, not exact duplicates with the same minds, thoughts, and memories of the original. -- [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 15:21, 17 Apr 2005

=== Wig reference? (Declined) ===
The gross old wig is probably the wig Homestar wore as part of his Kurt Cobain costume in Homestarloween Party.

*I was so ready to delete this fact and post a notice saying that provably untrue facts are DELETED!!

== Taped over, or intentional use? ==

When I heard the "future jam" I assumed Strong Bad used the "grumblecake theme" on purpose, then distorted it and went into the tune proper. You hear stuff like that all the time.

Others? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:18, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

== "Froosh" ==

Okay, I added the following to the Remarks section a few days ago:

''The sound made when Stinkoman opens the time capsule is a recycle of Strong Bad saying "Froosh" from only seconds before, and therefore Strong Bad perfectly predicted the sound that would be produced on opening the capsule.''

It was removed by [[User:Lapper|Lapper]], who said it belonged in [[Sound Effects]], so that's where I put it.  It was then removed from there by [[User:The Chort|The Chort]], who said it wasn't relevant for that page.  So now I've put it back here again, where it probably beonged in the first place.

- [[User:Pete Sampwas|Pete Sampwas]] 17:10, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

== Sam the Concorder ==

This probably is not worth mentioning in the main article, because it really doesn't like Strong Bad actually says this, but the way "sam concord california" is written, and the way SB reads it, it almost sounds like Sam conquered California.  He just marched right in and told Arnold to get out!  "We don't need no bodybuildin' robots running this town!"
Anyway, that just hit me when the random button landed on it, and I thought it was hillarious, so I thought I'd share--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 03:50, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

==Viscosity==
Anyone think that "with the viscosity" could be a reference to Black Sheep's song "Strobelite Honey"?  It's a stretch for sure, but it wouldn't be the first time Strong Bad has quoted a hip-hop lyric (compare "so fresh and so clean, clean" in [[spring cleaning]]), and I can't think why else anyone other than a chemist would say "with the viscosity."  (I don't know what Black Sheep meant by it either.)

==Con-cord versus Conk-erd==

In the Bay Area, it's pronounced conk-erd. [[User:198.6.14.254|198.6.14.254]] 18:58, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

== Luh-BOR-uh-tor-TTATOT ==

:''Homestar's pronunciation of "Luh-BOR-uh-tor-ee" is a reference to the cartoon series Dexter's Laboratory.''

Okay, this stupid "fact" has somehow survived for several months; let's get rid of it, shall we?  There is no contextual reason to support the assumption that this is a reference to Dexter's Laboratory, and no one call tell me that the pronunciation "la-BOR-atory" didn't exist before Dexter.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 02:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

"If we are to assume that X0 years had passed from the email by the time Stinkoman opened the capsule, then the year he opened it in would be 20X5, not 20X6."
