Arturo 9000

Based on the loading screen, and the physical design when we see it in full, the Arturo 9000 actually looks more like a microfiche viewer than a computer. User:kyojikasshu 10:09, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

And, sure enough, the article gets edited as such, possibly even before I completed this post. User:kyojikasshu 10:11, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

What about Arturo being a reference to Dr. Arturo from Sliders? It's not a terribly common last name, and it's certainly the first thing a lot of people would think of. 139.78.10.24 16:00, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Arturo is a first name too, the Spanish equivalent of "Arthur." As such, it's pretty common. —Guard Duck ^talk 17:08, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

In the US, "Arturo" is a more common last name than "Chaps" :) --SDSpivey 17:11, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Homestar's Homestars

i'm wondering, should there be a note on the Homestar "Clothing" section that Homestar calls his stars Homestars?

-Lachlan

these sure get up fast

blink?

Could someone explain why Homestar's picture blinking is considered a "goof"? To me, it is something to be noted, since it is unusual, but how do we know it was not done intentionally? Clearly, TBC used a movie clip of H*R, and it gives the picture a funny Harry Potter feel. It doesn't seem like an error. wbwolf (t | ed) 17:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

If they wanted to give it a "funny Harry Potter feel", the whole picture would have moved. Meanwhile, the "Homestar" object they use is always rigged to blink, and sometimes they've been known to forget when showing Homestar in in-universe photographs. If the sheep chewing grass in the paused KoT video is a Goof, then so is this. --Jay (Gobble) 18:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

With that explanation, it's more make-sense. wbwolf (t | ed) 18:05, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

(PS. Actually, modeling would have been a better example, as the KoT's page doesn't split its facts, but yeah. --Jay (Gobble) 18:07, 26 January 2009 (UTC))

The Canadian Couple?

I wonder if that refers to the weekly fan stuff from Aug 05, the wedding invitation? That came from a Canadian couple. I hope so. That was me!
