Real world explanations

I put a Video Toaster entry in real world references before noticing it was in explanations already. Then I saw that Applebee's is in real world references. It would seem that if VT is an explanation Applebee's should be also, and if Applebee's is a rwr VT should be as well (though I could see a flip). What's the proper placement in this case?146.122.71.68 11:37, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I think they are both where they should be. Applebee's is mentioned in a natural context, referred to as a real place—thus, real-world references. The video toasters shown, on the other hand, are not what actual video toasters really are. Thus the unfamiliar term needs an explanation. --DorianGray 12:26, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

lacrosse point

Is this a parody of "Lagrange Point"? That'sBupkis! 20:37, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Um, more than likely no. The joke is that Strong Bad doesn't know what scoring in lacrosse is called (I believe they're "goals"). --DorianGray 20:39, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

VHS tape limits

• The longest VHS cassette is eight and a half hours.

I beg to differ. I once bought two 10-hour VHS tapes (lost one, used the other to tape a Ren & Stimpy marathon). I'm hesitant to change it because I want to change it to something a bit less definite, like "8-hours was the most common VHS tape length, although some were as long as 10 hours", and to be honest I have no source to say with absolute certainty that there weren't any tape longer than 10. I believe this warrants further investigation. - 70.75.182.168 05:49, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia to the rescue! That table indicate that the longest form of VHS cassette is 12 hours. It's for the DF480 (T-240 equiv) type on Extended Play/Super Long recording speed. The article doesn't say how common those were, but they exist. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 06:04, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Meaning that the entire fact is invalid, as he only needed 12 hours. — Defender1031*Talk 06:35, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

None-out-of-None

Couldn't none-out-of-none couples be said to mean every couple rather then no couples because a number out of the same number is 100%, for example 5 out of 5 pretzels eaten is all the pretzels eaten? --Happypasta 22:47, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

0/0 is actually undefined. --Jay (Gobble) 03:04, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Time inbetween emails

I think it may be a good idea Not to show how many days have passed since the last email, It seems TBC may be seeing that as a record they need to break. "281 days? We should make them wait longer!" *Matt does a Trollface* Cyberdemon 01:55, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I think you're being paranoid. --Jay (Gobble) 02:24, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
