The Email Processing Room is the nexus of all Strong Bad's e-mail processing. This place exists in one Easter Egg, and nowhere else. It is definitely not a part of the normal Homestar Runner world, but it is clever enough and amusing enough to be listed here.
Linked through Strong Bad's website, (from email 51: "website") this easter egg is found in an animated GIF of a mouse.
Processing Details
The Cheat types on an old computer and prints out a potential email candidate. Strong Mad puts on his reading glasses and reads the email carefully. The paper is then chewed up, spat into a cylinder, and sent via pneumatic tube to Strong Bad. Strong Bad just laughs at them and rips them into tiny pieces. This cycle repeats.
Inconsistencies
Behind Strong Mad can be seen a poster reading "GET BACK TO WORK!" and three signs that say, "PRIDE, DETAIL," and "ETHICS." They originally linked to the newspaper "The Rumor". If you try the links, you will be referred to "The Rumor's" new address. This is of particular interest, because The Brothers Chaps refer to linking in the FAQ section of their contact information:
Q: Will you put up a banner or link to my site?
A: Our policy has always been absolutely no advertising.
That includes banners, pop-ups, and even links to other sites.
This is, therefore, an interesting and inexplicable exception to that rule. Perhaps TBC forgot about this page when they wrote the FAQ. Since a about a year has elapsed between the 51st email and the FAQ, this is a reasonable explanation.
