The Paper oddity
The Paper does not come down at the end of the email.
From: japanese cartoon

Arguments for:
- This is is a rare event and merits mentioning.
- The article on The Paper reads, "In japanese cartoon, The Paper is replaced with an anime credits list." The fact should be mentioned here explicitly as a cross-reference.
- The two other times that The Paper is replaced with something else (superhero name and dreamail), it is noted as a Fun Fact.
- Newcomers would not be aware that this was an oddity unless it was pointed out.
Arguments against:
- It is not the only such email.
- It's obvious from the transcript.
Additional comments:
- The fact is not mentioned explicitly in the transcript. Perhaps the transcript should note that "The Paper does not come down" rather use a Fun Fact.
- The transcript should mention what actually does occur, rather than what does not occur. Facts that expand on the transcript should be placed in the fun facts section.
- This occurance is sufficiently rare that it should be mentioned, if not as a fun fact, then explicitly in the transcript.
- It's really not that obvious from the transcript. The whole section is not very readable and needs cleanup.
