MIT Mystery Hunt Puzzle: The Property of Ones

MIT Mystery Hunt is an annual weekend-long challenge featuring over one hundred difficult puzzles. The 2004 Mystery Hunt featured a Strong Bad Email themed puzzle entitled "The Property of Ones". (warning: language)

Trogdor at An Ivy school?

At the Yale-Princeton football game halftime show in November, 2004, the Princeton Band announcer was listing villains (I wont explain why), and the last one on the list was TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR. This show also included a formation based on Email 100: "This joke is of such historical significance that it can only be told in... WIDESCREEN. Left side BWAAAAAH. Right side BWAAAAAAH." (at which the left and right sides of the band formation went wide-screen)

Also, the Yale Anti-Gravity Society's fall 2004 juggling/fire show was basically an entire trogdor narrative: one guy, starring as Trogdor, complete with a huge muscular arm and green clothing, played the Limozeen version of "Trogdor!" while breathing fire-- there was also a peasant involved, who, throughout the course of the show, became on fire like a peasant. The Teen Girl Squad also made an appearance in the performance. Good times at Yale.

Trogdor: MIT Hacker

The Burninator was the subject of one of the famous MIT Hacks! The hack itself. More about hacks.

Trogdor goes to Duke

At Duke University in around April of 2004, the side of a painted underpass displayed an advertisement for an "Inside Joke" comedy troop. The centrepiece was a large, majestic Trogdor.

Strong Bad the Politician

At North Carolina State University in 2002, life sized posters of Strong Bad with the words "Strong Bad for Student Body President" appeared on campus. Sadly, he was not listed on the student council ballot.

Strong Bad Viewings

At North Brandywine Middle School, on the last day before Summer Break, the school shows all the currently available Strong Bad E-mails over the Closed-Circuit TV Network.

Strong Bad At The Naval Academy

Before every home football game, the Naval Academy freshman (known as Plebes) decorate a monument of a Native American chief nick-named Tecumseh on the campus in some sort of disguise. Last year for the Navy-Central Michigan game, the monument was painted up as Strong Bad. [1]

Strong Bad's Electoral Success

Student elections at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Spring 2004 were won overwhelmingly by the 'S.badia' party, which used a tire as its logo. Article from winning S.Badia GM candidate, Mike Dillon.

Homestar at University of California, Riverside

Dorms at UCR each have themes to make things interesting and to increase hall spirit. On year 2004-2005, the I Building at Pentland Hills had a Homestar theme, where they put up Homestar Runner banners and made Homestar Runner sweatshirts featuring all original art. One sweatshirt had an evil looking The Cheat holding a torch in front, and on the back it had Homestar holding a sword and shield and looking up at Strong Bad who was on Trogdor's head.

Trogdor at University of Florida

In the main computer lab at the University of Florida, there is a poster of Trogdor threatening to burninate anybody playing video games as recently as April 2005.
