 The title text, a wish to have control over coefficients of friction during sporting events, is yet another mischievous wish. The coefficients of friction, though usually not noticed as they are unchanging, are all-important when performing physical activities — imagine trying to play hockey on a field of sandpaper or sprinting over a sheet of ice. In addition to the difficulty going where you want or getting any balls that might be in play where you want them to go in a changing friction environment, angular momentum would also be very difficult to control.
-Note that when Black Hat makes meta-wishes no follow-up wishes are logged. Since the meta-wishes failed, no valid eyelash wish condition existed and the illegal test wishes were not logged in the eyelash wish log. This means that, ironically, his attempts to get extra wishes have wasted most of the wishes he did get.

 ==Explanation==
-This comic is based on a common {{w|superstition}} that when someone's {{w|eyelash}} falls out, that person can make a wish on it. This comic appears to be a page from the fictitious Wish Bureau in charge of granting said wishes. And of course the wisher is [[Black Hat]] and he has quite a few wishes, most of them based on the previous wish. A common trope in fiction is that wishing for more wishes is prohibited and for many of his wishes Black Hat attempts to circumvent that.

This comic appears to be a page from the fictitious Wish Bureau in charge of granting or tracking said wishes. And of course the wisher is [[Black Hat]] and he has quite a few wishes, most of them attempts to jailbreak the wishing system for his own advantage. A common trope in fiction is that wishing for more wishes is prohibited and for many of his wishes Black Hat attempts to circumvent that.
 Later, in [[2741: Wish Interpretation]], Black Hat again gets a chance for making a wish, where the rules are discussed by the Genie that will grant him a wish.
 ;January 9: That wishing on eyelashes worked
-:*This wish is pointless. If wishing on eyelashes worked, then this would do absolutely nothing (because it already works) and if it didn't then nothing would happen because wishing on eyelashes wouldn't work.
+:*This wish is pointless. If wishing on eyelashes worked, then this would do absolutely nothing (because it already works) and if it didn't then nothing would happen because wishing on eyelashes wouldn't work. However, there are plausible reasons for a wish-granting entity to require an initial wish of this type (filtering out most potential wishers, making permanent a wish-granting entity that had flickered into existence like a virtual particle, etc).
