One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

Not bringing this up in the Real Life thread because I'm not actually going to push for its removal, but EndOfAnAge.Real Life is a mess. I'm reading through the page and we're jumping from wars that ended political eras to "this movie marked the end of X" within just a few entries.

Should I add the fact that YOU CAN die from strangulation way later than what was previously thought to Othello. Even weeks.

EDIT: I remembered why I posted this here. I wanted to add this to the Othello YMMV page.

[up] Oh noes!

But seriously, I am glad I didnt spoil the ending. Also I have a trope I realized exists in kids shows: The Opening Gets Away With More.

  • Most kids shows frown on controversial material. But some of it is allowed in the opening, like the words death, die and kill (DBZ Kai opening on The CW) backstories that end in death (One Piece back when 4kids had it, The Robocop cartoon) or Alcohol references (Samurai Pizza Cats.)

Sorry I wasn't clear, I was just confused about what the Othello strangulation thing had to do with the TV Tropes meta thread...

Today I learned that it is possible to go for four posts before realising it's the wrong thread.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

I can say that after doing cleanup of the page, Nightmare Face is a trope in the category "made a decade ago and the examples show that." So many Zero-Context Examples...

My current hobby is adding images to character pages... except I've run out of character pages from works I'm interested in to add images to.

No Permanence No Consequences Example on Naruto fails to mention that at one point Gaara came back from the dead and at one point Pain brought back almost everyone killed in his attack back from the dead.

Useful Notes/Australia

I really dont know why but something is EXTREMELY off with the way this page is written, especially the begginning but I dont know what it is exactly.

[up]I noticed that in addition to that page saying "Does not include New Zealand", the page for New Zealand says "Not Australia, the one next to it." Those sentences are probably referencing the fact that people from other parts of the world sometimes confuse the two, while the part about Austria on Australia's page is just referencing the similarities between the two countries' names.

[up] That might be it, but there is something off, normally I dig those jokes so I think it might not be though.

I think it could be that it joke overloaded on the first paragraph where other countries share those after the serious description.
