Additional Annotations

• Many of the wrestlers Alex saw do actually exist, including axe-man, Australian guy, and the Miz. Upon following up with sources, none of what Alex said about them appears to be real.
• The Dwarves in Artemis Fowl eat the dirt and shoot it out their butts, exactly like a straw travelling over a worm.
• Couldn’t find any pictures of Juiblex’s symbol; maybe because it’s such a shit one. Here’s a pseudopod though, so imagine that but slimier.
• Sami’s utterance of Power Word: +44 summoned a being that will be there when your heart stops beating
• A quick round of research reveals that if you put slime in the freezer, it just freezes. It’ll split if you thaw it.
• Alex keeps saying ‘uh oh, stinky,’ like that stupid fucking video with the orangutan, and I’m not going to link it here (because it’s fucking stupid) but I will link this by Eggomusic.
• The average percentage of water in a person’s body is around 60%, but this percentage can vary from roughly 45–75%. It’s not 96% unless you’re sponsored by Gamersupps. Which we aren’t.
• Teleport without Error is, as you may have guessed, “As teleport, except there is no chance you arrive off target”. Sounds like that should have been called Teleport and the original should have been Vaguely Teleport.
• Befoul: makes water (or other liquid) foul and poisonous. Despoil blights and corrupts an area of land. It’s sort of a Kyogre/Groudon situation.
• WotC really did send the Pinkertons round. Not to us (yet) but still.
• Dreyches! Are not a thing. Dretches are though. In our defense, Sami does mention typos like a minute before this, and the T and Y keys are very close together.
• We spelled Hezrou right at least!
• No images of Duvamil the gnome exist. Sorry.
• Alex once again takes an opportunity to bring up Peter Gabriel; specifically Moribund the Burgermeister, the B-side from Solsbury Hill. It’s a song about St. Vitus’ Dance!
• Artist’s impression of Darkness Given Hunger, the largest black pudding ever found (there’s a demon in it now)
• When we reach the Fiend Folio, Sami mentions something called an Akilith. This is similar to the Dreych in that it isn’t real; it is in fact a spectre created by a typo in Sami’s notes. But an Alkilith? That’s a real one.
• So you want to be a master of pokémon Thrall of Juiblex?
• IN THE GOLDEN RING? We got our musical wires crossed on this one.
• Remember Thrall from Warcraft?
• ‘To Shame Mankind?!’ cries Alex. They’re referring to this painting; imagine instead of a woman looking irritated that you’ve caught her dipping her naked ass in the town’s drinking water, it was a cone of slime and feces.
• Spent a little while trying to figure out why Alex said ‘Matt Smith’s in it,’ when talking about the Caverns of the Ooze Lord. Turns out it was an extension of the Morbius bit. Nobody has seen Morbius so it’s hard to remember who was in it.
• We got a line from Miya Folick’s Get Out of My House there! Yeah!!
• Shortly after Sami’s 100% film-accurate impression of Stuart Little, it sounds to the untrained ear like we’re both having a sort of psychotic break. But in actuality we’re referring to this video by Demi Adejuyigbe.
• BONE?!
• “average person encounters 3 slimes a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person encounters 0 slimes per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in shack atop a 400ft high monolith & encounters over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
• ‘The athlete’s village is on Zargon,’ from Space Olympics. That song is also why Alex constantly sings the line ‘Believe in yourself’.
• ‘…at their genesis they have the evil of a mortal mind,’ says Sami, and Alex says ‘GENESIS’ like that one guy from Star Trek 3: the Search for Spock.

Thanks for listening!
