The funny thing about people expecting us to believe Orion's penis is a sword is that swords weren't yet invented when Orion was named.  However, everyone knew what a penis was.  This is what we call an open and shut case.[[Special:Contributions/76.29.225.28|76.29.225.28]] 15:29, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

:We don't know exactly when Orion was created but, he was mentioned for the first time in the odyssey, about 8th BC. The first swords, the bronze-age swords, are from 17th BC. While Orion is old, is of course not as old as the 17th BC century. So, there were swords when Orion was created. ...But of course, the thing in the constellation is totally a dong.  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.215.129|108.162.215.129]] 19:57, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Am I insane, or does Cueball have three arms? I thought one of them was a microphone, but all three lines seem to go to his shoulders.

:You do understand, right, that the body has a lower half that needs to be attached to the top somehow? [[Special:Contributions/172.69.34.170|172.69.34.170]] 22:03, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

::I think he/she is referring to the 2nd panel.  From Cueball's shoulders, yes, there's the torso going straight down to the legs; but I think he/she means the two arms going to the podium plus apparently a third arm gesticulating above the podium.  — [[User:Yfmcpxpj|Yfmcpxpj]] ([[User talk:Yfmcpxpj|talk]]) 19:05, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 
:::Yeah, there is definitely a third arm.[[Special:Contributions/162.158.107.125|162.158.107.125]] 18:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 
::Definitely a microphone. Not a lot of breadth on a stick-figure, and the throat is pretty well in the same place as the shoulders. [[Special:Contributions/198.41.238.116|198.41.238.116]] 03:28, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 
:::I think that it was meant to be a microphone, but the drawing was a bit sloppy. [[User:42.book.addict|42.book.addict]] ([[User talk:42.book.addict|talk]]) 22:39, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 
From the point of view of an Aussie, that is his head, what you think of his legs are his arms, and his arms are what you've got marked as legs. Makes perfect sense, and it's odd to think everyone in the Northern Hemisphere sees Orion upside down.... (:  [[Special:Contributions/172.68.146.168|172.68.146.168]] 01:40, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
