** Way back in my DA gallery there's a picture called "Oil Foil", depicting a catfish fancharacter stuck in an oil spill and phoning his lawyer. It was submitted on February 22nd, 2009. It probably would have been interpreted differently had it been submitted a year and two months later. The icing on the cake is this bit from the artist's comments:
-->I think we would take preserving nature a lot more seriously if the plants and animals had lawyers. But what can I say? I was born and raised in the USA, the land of lawsuits.

** A scene in fanfic ''Sonic Releashed'' has Sonic and Snake chatting about where the latter came from. Sonic speculates that maybe Snake's a descendant of his and jokingly suggests that he "kill me and see if it causes a paradox"; Amy then cuts in and punches Snake before he can even consider it. By itself it's a great illustration of Amy's overprotective personality, but then a commenter pointed out the obvious:
-->Well after [[SonicTheHedgehog2006 Silver]] it stands to reason that Amy'd be wary of guys showing up from the future to kill Sonic! :P
