This is absolutely golden. They took some of the nonsense edits people have made to various pages on the site over the years and crammed them into a page. It’s worth reading.
Some notable ones:
- “It is said that the pyro is in fact a female and the backscratcher is a rake where women usually attend their gardens and plants in their free time.”
- “The Engineer is the only class to mention a Combine in Team Fortress 2.”
- “Heavy’s Belt Bullets may be Crayons.”
- “The name One Thousand and One Demoknights is a refence to the 300 battle because there were a thousand Persains fighting 300 Spartens.”
- “While most likely a coincidence, ‘Ullapool Caber’ bears certain verbal similarities to the Arabic phrase ‘Allahu Akbar’, also known as the TakbÄ«r. A common Islamic Arabic phrase, literally translating as ‘God is Greater’, the phrase has, following the September 11 attacks, come to be associated with Islamic Extremism; in particular suicide bombing.”
- “Ze Goggles are the only hat with Ze instead of the. This is the reference to the German language.”
- “Miss Pauling’s Revolver looks much like that of the Spy’s Revolver or even Big Kill.”
“I was seriously mistaken, and it proved to be a big mistake.”
