* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' has the Shape in Grove Park That No-One Acknowledges or Speaks About. When the Shape was to be removed from the park by the city council, local historians protested on the grounds that it was an important historical landmark. However, since the historians refused to either acknowledge or speak about the Shape, their protest consisted entirely of a series of gestures and grimaces.

(It's also used for the final year of high school, but that's beside the point here.) As a general rule, college athletes are eligible to play on varsity teams for four years.
