Fun Facts

Explanations

• The 7-10 split, as seen in the "games" option is the hardest spare to pull off in bowling.

Trivia

• For a while a sample from Renegade Master by Fatboy Slim was played when "Characters" was rolled over. (See Secret Pages for the loop.)
• The bowling ball that appears when you scroll over "Toons" resembles the guitar used by Eddie Van Halen, lead guitarist of the 70's-80's hard rock band, Van Halen.

Remarks

• When you scroll on Store, the falling bowling ball makes no sound.

Inside References

• The globe bowling ball is the same image used in Main Page 1 and is similar to the one used in the Theme Song Video.

Fast Forward

• The lighting effects are nearly the same as The Cheat's light raves that he makes with his own special light switch in Strong Bad's computer room, as seen in the email techno, which also included "The System is Down".
