== Homestar Filmography ==

If [[Nebulon]] is listed in the filmography of [[senior prom]], then [[Homestar Runner]] should be listed in the filmography here...I don't have a strong opinion which way it goes, as long as it's consistent. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
:Concur, senior prom is a good example, we don't list Senor Cardgage there, and if I remember correctly Nebulon is also just depicted in a decoration, thusly should not be in the cast list. I can't view the toon to confirm that at the moment so I won't change it, but if that's the case, then Nebulon we must erase! (but he should be noted as a decoration and linked there).

::Yes, he's just a decoration. I tend to agree with you that they shouldn't be listed in the Filmography (they're not actually acting).  I'll delort it. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
::Note, however, that [[Trivia Time]] does list his appearances as a cookie jar. [[User:Starblind|Starblind]] 18:46, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Yes, but he is not included in the cast lists for the toons (see [[army]] for example.) - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld&#39;s Teh C]] 18:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
What about some other sub-filmography category for appearances like this? Something like "other appearances" maybe, for when a character's image is used but the character cannot really be said to be in the toon. it could also include things such as the dead Strong Sad easter eggs in [[fingers]] (where a character is seen but does not move or talk) [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 22:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
:I think that a character should be reconized if they actually appear in person (Such as the dead Strong Sads in fingers), but with the Nebulon decoration and the Homestar Runner Decemberween Gift, I agree with you guys.

Did they mean to say bloody? Cause isn't that like bad in the commonwealth. The US no, but Australia or UK
:I'm an Australian, and bloody is about as bad as 'darn'. I'd say the constant use of 'friggn' is worse.
:Like the person above said, it's not a very strong word. Although I'd say it's closer to "damn" than "darn". And I don't know about how it's used in the UK. Anyway, bloody is only a swear if it's used as an adjective, and isn't used to mean "covered in blood". The way Strong Bad used it was fine. And please sign your posts.

The second and third numbers have already been identified, but it was the first one that really stuck out to me.  I found myself saying the last numbers in the series before I even read them: "zxj481-78b."  I just wish I could recall where it came from!  Could it be related to networking like the other two?


==Pheromone==
I'm tempted to add back in the note that they're used to communicate with their own species.  That is their natural purpose.  Other animals (or plants) can sense them sometimes, but that's more an adaptation for predatory or defense purposes, the actual purpose of a pheromone is normally to communicate with one's own species. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld&#39;s Teh C]] 15:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
:I agree, based on my limited knowledge of them.  By itself, the term implies species specific interaction &mdash; when used otherwise biologists explicitly qualify them as ''heterospecific pheromones'' or less commonly ''exopheromones''. {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 16:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

== Stonk? ==

Okay, not just one but two separate users have attempted to add separate "Facts" (both of them very suspect) relating to the word "Stonk" now. To ''this'' page, not to [[the chair]].

The X in Xmas was used to represent the Holy Cross of Jesus Christ since the letter X is a cross itself. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
:No, its actually a capital [[Wikipedia:Chi_(letter)|chi]] (a Greek letter) which has been used as an abbreviation for Christ (such as the C in the [[Wikipedia:Ichthys|ICHTHYS]] (fish symbol) which is the initials of the phrase "Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior" in Greek).

Which is also the roman numeral for 10 (decem) hence the Xberween - [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 23:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I remember many "nobots", such as a Santa cactus singing Feliz Navidad, and simply a Santa Claus saying "Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!" or "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:49, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

== Talon (J)endro: A true Lucas-ism??? ==

It's probably not worth putting this on the main page, but it is very interesting to note that, by pure coincidence, there is actually a character in the Star Wars [[Wikipedia:Expanded Universe (Star Wars)|Expanded Univers]] (Books, etc.) whose name is [[Wikipedia:Talon Karrde|Talon]].  He actually becomes one of the major characters in a number of books.  There are also a few names that are similar, but not the same as, Jendro, such as Jendorn, Jendon, and Endro, though the first was a very minor character and the second was a planet. The third, however, played a major part in the book "Planet Hoppers."  To my knowlege, Talon and Endro have never appeared in the same book, though there are many (including Planet Hoppers, which is in fact an e-book... er, backstory?... written to go along with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game) that I have yet to read.

In any case, the character of Talon Karrde was created by Timothy Zahn, not George Lucas. --[[User:Sentroyd|Sentroyd]] 19:02, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

-== Stereo Sound ==
-The wiki page regards Marzipan talking about stereo as in 2 seperate sounds.  However I think she is talking about stereo in it's original sense "solid" or "high-quality" sound.  It seems to make more sense in context with the Nobot.  It also seems silly to imagine one of those things with two speakers.  [[User:Stribbs|Stribbs]] 06:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
-:As the [[Wikipedia:Stereophonic sound|'Kipedia article]] says, the original sense of "stereo" in the context of sound refers to sound that has some kind of 3D effect... it was coined by analogy with "stereoscopic", which is a 3D ''solid''-looking image... stereophonic sound is sound for which controls which direction the sound's coming from... eg with left/right channels, or surround sound, or whatever.

-:The [[Decemberween]] page specifically says that while there are many similarities between Christmas and Decemberween, there are also some obvious differences. So they're not quite the same holiday. It is true that X doesn't mean ten regarding the actual meaning behind the X in Xmas: it means chi, which is the first letter of Christ in the Greek alphabet. However, by that logic, to merit removal, X-berween would have to replace something starting with chi. It doesn't. It replaces "decem" (which also means 10), so it is perfectly logical to say that X may stand for 10 in this case. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 17:21, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

-::Okay, nevermind the question above.  Defender pointed out an important discrepancy in my typing above and the spelling of the two names: Esterbee's is a transliteration of what the original transcriber heard on the DVD commentary.  Easterby's sounds nothing like it (well, at least the extra a makes it distinctive enough).  So it's highly unlikely that this is the place they were referring to (unless somehow the a is silent in Easterby's.)  So, I've gone ahead and reverted the edit and commented out the fun fact for the time being. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:27, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
-:I probably should have gone on the talk page first. After thorough googling I found no such restaurant as Esterbee's- so when I tried spelling variations it gave me Easterby's.

-:::Yes, I also don't see any indication that it's a restaurant. Upon further analysis, I'm not even sure it's a location, possibly a person they know. Take note of the fact that it says "Esterbee's got a little gorilla" rather than "Esterbee's has got", seeming to indicate to me that the "'s" is a contraction for "has" and not a part of the name of a place. Further, they're talking about the dancing musical nobot, and they say "little gorilla". Before reading closely, I was imagining some kinda store or food place with a giant singing gorilla. After reading closely, it seems like someone they know, named "Esterbee" or something sounding like that, owns a dancing musical nobot of a gorilla. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:33, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Est and East are pronounced differently, but I don't own the DVD so I couldn't check the pronunciation myself. I tried searching "animatronic gorilla animal house" etc. but came up with nothing, not even a product.

-::::I don't think it's a family or friend's last name - compare how they say "'''The''' Ripbergers" [[Cheat_Commandos_(toon)#Commentary_Transcript|here]] and [[Let_us_give_TANKS!#Commentary_Transcript|here]] or how they usually preface names with "our friend" or "my sister-in-law" or whatever. As far as pronunciation goes, Mike says it like "Esther-Bees" (one word); I watched videos of various ''Easterby''s and all of them clearly pronounce it like "East", while the few ''Esterby''s I found did pronounce it the same way as Mike. The pronunciation is enough for me to disqualify "Easterby's Family Grille", plus Google Maps says it's a five-hour drive from Atlanta. Since the commentary doesn't offer any more details about this establishment (restaurant? event center? etc), and it could've gone out of business in the 15 years since the recording I don't think it'll be possible to nail down the place. --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 18:27, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
