== Section Linking ==
I can't figure out [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Links.2C_URLs section linking]. For the Fun Facts section of this email, I'm trying to link to the easter eggs section of "stunt double". Here are several ways to do it, but none of them work:

I have no idea.  I think I'm pretty sure the underbar doesn't matter.  I can't make anything out from [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Section#Section_linking this] either.  What could it be?  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:54, 27 Jul 2004 (MST)

Yup, still no idea.  I thought maybe it had something to do with the spaces, but I guess it doesn't.  Let's try something else...

Okay, something must be wrong with our install.  Those should work.  It seems to not be recognizing the "#".  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:22, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)

Well, you remember all my anchors on my old wikipage, right? When I copied it to wikipedia, it did the same  thing...maybe there's just something we're not doing right? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:12, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

I don't know what it is. As Tom said, they ''should'' work. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 13:30, 24 Aug 2004 (MST)

I don't know the answer, but a difference is that the 2nd line gives a page with # in it, while the 4th does not. The 1st line works and can be used as workaround.--[[User:patrick|patrick]] 00:16, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

==Fun fact removal==

*When Strong Bad said that he's in a car, this is reference to the [[car|101st e-mail]] when he said that he has never been in a car.  If there's a dangeresque 2, then Dangeresque 1 was filmed before the stunt double e-mail, which was before Strong Bad claimed that he was never in a car before.  Therefore, Strong Bad was lying.

...because it was never made clear that Strong Bad owns the car: he was simply using it as a prop.

*I always thought that Dangeresque 1 was just thrown together as an excuse for not having Dangeresque 3. After all, the sign at the beginning says "Dangeresque 1" rather than simply "Dangeresque", and it also says "Not in 3D" which would make no sense if it was made before Strong Bad's announcement that D3 would be in 3D.

== Neva Blink ==
That fun fact about Strong Bad never blinking with his sunglasses on...uh...you may not have noticed, but Strong Bad never blinks as it is..ever. In fact, I once emailed him asking him why I've never seen him with his eyes closed. - [[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]

== Closed Fun Facts ==

These fun facts were on [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts|STUFF]] page and closed. I you wish to debate these, leave a note, but do not let your vote be confused with the original ones.

===Constantinople? (Declined)===
The fact that The King of Town was hiding in Istanbul may be a nod to [[They Might Be Giants]], who had a hit in 1990 called "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" and have collaborated with [[The Brothers Chaps|TBC]] on several occasions.

*'''Decline.''' Istanbul is often used in the movies as a dangerous and exotic locale. Any resemblance to a TMBG song, living or dead, is purely coincidental. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 15:23, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*Today's forecast is '''total crap.''' When will you people learn the difference between references and coincidences? [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 20:37, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]]
*"May be"...ugh. '''Decline''' [[user:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept.''' This fact wasn't just added to the page yesterday; it's been there for ''nine months.'' It's listed in the history as far back as you can go. Thousands of visitors to the page have already seen it and have tacitly given it their approval. The comments above make it sound like there's ''no chance'' that TBC chose Istanbul intentionally, but let me '''put it in context:''' in the few weeks leading up to this email, there were several [[Puppet_Jam:_Vitamins/Celebrities|Puppet Jams]] added to the site. Just a few weeks after the email, [[Experimental Film]] was released (so, being a song, it was likely already in the works at the time of the email). And you're telling me they ''didn't'' have TMBG on the brain? I don't think so. Too coincidental. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:41, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' [[User:Lucres|Lucres]] 17:31, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''I think not.''' Being on a page for a long time does not make a fact fun. It <i>is</i> a coincidence, 'nuff said. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 19:50, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' What It's dot com said. Believe me, if you listen to TMGB for too long, it's hard to think of Istanbul without mentally adding "...not Constantinople..." <small><tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|<span style="color:#8B0000;">Aurora the Homestar Coder</span>]]</tt></small> 17:37, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' Or maybe Istanbul is just a cool-sounding place and TBC weren't making a nod to TMBG. &rarr;[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:33, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 14:42, 17 Apr 2005 (PDT)
*"I dunno about you The Ugly One, but I say this one should be '''accepted!'''" I really think so though. I agree with everybody who said it should be accepted. I've read over this debate, and do think that that whole thing's a TMBG refrence.--[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 21:48, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' If, someday, a birdhouse shows up in a cartoon, will that be a reference to that birdhouse song? --[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 00:49, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**That's beside the point (although "birdhouse" is not a word that most people use every day). Just about everybody familiar with TMBG knows their song "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" and identifies one with the other. I again refer you to the ''context'' of last summer (see my comments above), and considering that, I really don't think this fact is a stretch. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:16, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' Well, I never gave this thing any approval, tacit or otherwise. I've patrolled this page many times and <u>everytime</u> I read this "fact" I wrinkled my nose. I avoided STUFF-ing it because (1) unless I'm in the right mood it's tiresome and tedious and (b) I was afraid to expose my lack of hepitude. Hep or not, I still maintain this fact is based on the purest of speculation. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:31, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' The Istanbul song is NOT originally TMBG.  My google search says it was written in 1953, and it was reasonably popular before TMBG came along.
**'''Comment.''' He comes the [http://www.songlyrics.com/song-lyrics/Four_Lads/Miscellaneous/Istanbul_(not_Constantinople)/147257.html link]! Istanbul (Not Constantinople). Artists: The Four Lads ... peak Billboard position # 10 in 1953 ... Words by Jimmy Kennedy and Music by Nat Simon -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:01, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***The question isn't whether TMBG wrote the song (a ''lot'' of cover versions of songs are as popular as or more popular than their original versions, so this too is beside the point), but whether Istanbul is a reasonable reference to TMBG, and if so whether TBC might reasonably be referencing them by choosing Istanbul. On close calls like this, where the two parties have a known relationship and were demonstrably collaborating at the time, is the standard of proof ''really'' "[[Wikipedia:Burden_of_proof#Beyond_a_reasonable_doubt|beyond a reasonable doubt]]," or would a "[[Wikipedia:Burden_of_proof#Balance_of_probabilities|preponderance of the evidence]]" standard apply? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:08, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***Call me Cletus if'n ya want, but, a single word on a placard does not a reference make! Now, if the sign had Constantinople crossed out with Istanbul written below it, well ... then we're talking reference! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:21, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
****Aha! Now ''that's'' an argument that addresses the heart of the issue. Especially the "crossed out" part. Good prize! I'm not going to ''officially'' downgrade my vote above to neutral ('cause I don't think it will matter anyway), but, off the record, my support for including this fact is dwindling (although not gone). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:22, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Leaning towards decline.''' It may have been a SLIGHT reference, but mainly just because it's a weird sounding, yet somewhat well-known place. Hey, Istanbul was a big part of my Geography test.[[User:TakuaKaita600|TakuaKaita600]] 17:05, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==Goof?==
The Homestar Runner had no trouble remembering his lines in Dangeresque 3, however he couldn't remember them in "First Time Here?" or in "Fluffy Puff Commercial."  Should this be added to the Wiki page for this email?
*There is no proof that Homestar got his lines perfectly. FTH and FPC are pretty much just blooper reels. Dangeresque is a true movie, so they would re-shoot until he got it right, and then use 'that' shot. --[[User:homestar3.14|homestar3.14]] 18:23, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
**However, if Homestar couldn't get his lines perfectly, Strong Bad would have kicked him off the set and recast someone else as Dangeresque Too.  Strong Bad was fed up with Homestar forgetting his lines in "First Time Here" and forcefully took over.  Considering Dangeresque 1 was comprised of several scenes instead of just a short announcement, Strong Bad would most certainly not brook Homestar's ineptitude.
