I don't know how to interpret the "This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it." on the List of sexually active popes wiki page. 141.101.104.224 10:19, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

They're asking you to become a pope, and be sexually active. Then you can get arrested, and do a helicopter prison escape to start the 'List of helicopter prison escapes involving sexually active popes.' 162.158.26.140 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
It's because we can't know for sure if every single pope is secretly sexually active or if it's just limited to the ones caught red-handed. 141.101.98.5 11:35, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
Another interpretation: seduce the pope. --162.158.85.99 15:39, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
It can also be interpreted as to CONVICT pope of sexual activity. While the "became pope" and "seduce the pope" are funnier, convicting popes may be easier, as you are not limited to current and future ones, but can convict already dead popes after-the-fact by finding new evidence. Or forging some. -- Hkmaly (talk) 16:49, 20 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Those estimated percentages have a strangely high degree of precision, I'd think limiting them to whole number percentages would do. 141.101.98.58 11:48, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Replacing lightsabers in Star Wars movies may be a reference to this amusing video of the sword fight in The Princess Bride where swords are replaced with light sabers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYVQooRSlzg 173.245.52.69 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Has anyone ever actually replaced the lightsabers with metal swords? 2601:1C1:8D81:FAC0:51C9:1E58:3158:8DA 04:57, 21 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

The Jack and Diane remix with one line repeated may be a reference to svantana's brilliant re-do of a Human League number: http://svantana.bandcamp.com/track/you-were-workin-as-a-waitress-in-a-cocktail-bar 108.162.245.109 13:31, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

This is the greatest thing in the history of all remixes. 173.245.54.49 03:01, 7 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
That was the stupidest thing that I have ever exposed my ears to, and I loved every second of it.108.162.216.102 20:14, 8 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Look what some loser tried to actually make, to no one's surprise..... Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 17:07, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Anyone took a copy before the page was deleted? 108.162.229.49 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I just took a look on the Wayback Machine, and unfortunately the first and only archive is after the deletion. If anyone knows of any other archive websites....-108.162.215.69 05:30, 7 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Notice that the last successful helicopter prison escape was exactly two years ago.. 162.158.86.35 06:49, 7 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

One thing that this comic brings to the table is that the managing effort to increase productivity usually has a significant (and many times negative) impact on productivity itself. In this graphic, the installation took him nearly 25% of his time. He'd be significantly more productive if he wasn't using any time tracking software at all. 141.101.98.115 14:58, 8 June 2016 (UTC) duartixReply

I agree that losing productivity on time tracking software is more likely than actually getting some productivity advantage from it. If the things you are doing needs to be done, finding out how long they took won't help. If they are useless, you don't need to find out how much time they take to prove that. -- Hkmaly (talk) 16:49, 20 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Why has no one yet done a Jack and Diane remix as proposed here? Update 2021, someone has: https://twitter.com/tommcgovern27/status/1360368299121532930

Looks like that video has been removed, but here's the same one on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6QX57aIDbDU Should this be mentioned in the article?
this one on SoundCloud also exists and is about five years older than the YouTube one: https://soundcloud.com/user-253934700/jack-and-chili-dog-ane

On April 27, 2024 pope Francis visited Venice. And he actually arrived and departed by helicopter in the yard of a women's prison. He probably did not have sex with any of the prisoners, and did not help any of them to escape, but the event reminded me of the "List of helicopter prison escapes involving sexually active popes" immediately, so I just wanted to share it here. --172.68.253.143 17:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
