Fun Facts
Remarks
- When Strong Bad speaks technology, he says "10011011011001," which is binary code for 9945. This is calculated by adding:
- 213 + 210 + 29 + 27 + 26 24 + 23 + 20 = 9945
- Pom Pom's cell phone says "Incoming Call: Bob Redford".
Inside References
- Pom Pom's ring tone is the indytronic remix of the geddup noise.
Real World References
- Kindergarten Cop is a movie staring Arnold Schwarzenegger as an undercover cop posing as a teacher.
- When Strong Bad said he was speaking technology, he was really speaking Binary.
- The "catacombs" screensaver on Strong Bad's Lappy is actually "3D-Maze" from pre-Windows XP Windows computers.
- Sundance is an annual independent film festival in Park City, Utah, founded by actor Robert Redford and also a US pay cable television channel showing similar films.
