I would just like to say that I think that the piece of the brain picture that strong bad mentions is a picture of the final boss of contra III: alien wars. | I would just like to say that I think that the piece of the brain picture that strong bad mentions is a picture of the final boss of contra III: alien wars. | ||

:::Hm. Very interesting. I'd say the head-on view makes the case pretty strong for whatever this boss's name is, but what about the Mother Brain from Metroid? We also know that they have played it, from the Tandy in [[invisibility]] and "NES Endings" in [[japanese cartoon]]. She only ever appears in profile, though. Perhaps we could add a might for her? Now, yes, I know that me introducing this will elicit screams of TTATOT, but it really isn't.--{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 21:13, 21 April 2008 (UTC) | :::Hm. Very interesting.

::::I think the angle really make the difference here. Not only there is an eye in the brain, it's also in the exact center, and is seen from the same point as the Contra boss. I think even the creases on the bran itself are similar. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC) | ::::I think the angle really make the difference here.

I assume the remark in question has something to do with SB's "waste of serif" line? In which case... Sans Serif is an actual font used in word processors; I think it's pretty obvious that that's what he's referencing here. Anyone agree?

:Typefaces are classified as either [[Wikipedia:Serif|Serif]] or [[Wikipedia:Sans serif|Sans serif]]; serifs themselves are the little modifications that only serif typefaces have. By claiming they're a "waste of serif", to me it seems he's suggesting they're a waste of ink or a waste of letters. The "goof" here is that the typeface used on the box in the email is actually a sans-serif font, and there are no serifs wasted, if we interpret his statement literally as referring to serifs rather than letters/ink. As Jay notes, it also doesn't make much sense to call the UPC itself a waste of anything. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 01:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC) | :Typefaces are classified as either [[Wikipedia:Serif|Serif]] or [[Wikipedia:Sans serif|Sans serif]]; serifs themselves are the little modifications that only serif typefaces have.

::::Being a certified [[Wikipedia:National Safety Council|National Safety Council]] instructor in the use of home and office defibrillators, I can say with some certainty that, while not their primary usage, they can be used to restart a heart. A defib. works to make the heart rhythms closer to the normal range, and will work whether the heart is beating too fast, too slow, or not at all. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 19:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC) | ::::Being a certified [[Wikipedia:National Safety Council|National Safety Council]] instructor in the use of home and office defibrillators, I can say with some certainty that, while not their primary usage, they can be used to restart a heart.

:Re braineye: That crossed my mind too, but now that I see it's reference to the boss of ''Contra III'', I don't think it has any other meaning. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC) | :Re braineye: That crossed my mind too, but now that I see it's reference to the boss of ''Contra III'', I don't think it has any other meaning. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC) | ||
