I'm more curious if stuff from beginning of earth is still suspended in water somewhere. Think about it, can there really be 100% settlement of materials on the bottom of the ocean? Then again the light from that time is still traveling somewhere, we just need faster then light travel and very good sensor. - [[Special:Contributions/50.143.22.159|50.143.22.159]] 20:58, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Interesting that the Earth's replies come from the {{w|Canadian Shield}}? Also, what with the coquettish tone of the Earth, and the detective story tone of the alt-text, could Randall be referencing the {{w|Giant impact hypothesis}}?  --[[Special:Contributions/68.173.54.150|68.173.54.150]] 23:17, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

The line "I'll never tell" rings in my head from some movie, a little girl repeating it over and over, possibly just from a trailer for the movie. Maybe "Don't Say a Word" (2001) but I'm at work so I don't want to play the trailer.... Did this happen to anyone else?  --[[User:DanB|DanB]] ([[User talk:DanB|talk]]) 14:14, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
:"I'll never tell" is a song from the famous {{w|Once More, with Feeling (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)}}, which may explain why it 'rings' in [[User:DanB|DanB]]'s head. --GD [[Special:Contributions/94.173.98.162|94.173.98.162]] 21:06, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it comes from an old commercial, perhaps for Oil of Olay, where an actress talks about how it keeps her looking young and the the camera pulls in closer until she says "How old am I? I'll never tell." That would also fit the context. --RB

The current explanation isn't an explanation at all, it just restates stuff that's in the comic's transcript.  I'd improve it, but the only reason I'm here is because I didn't understand the point.  Presumably the last two panels refer to some thing from popular culture. [[User:Jeremyp|Jeremyp]] ([[User talk:Jeremyp|talk]]) 11:56, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Plate tech is popular culture. It was nonsense in the 1950's. (Actually, it still is (but I already told.))[[User:Weatherlawyer| I used Google News BEFORE it was clickbait]] ([[User talk:Weatherlawyer|talk]]) 21:25, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

"Who am I? I'll never tell" was in the opening voice over of every episode of Gossip Girl. [[User:Jackdavinci|Jackdavinci]] ([[User talk:Jackdavinci|talk]]) 18:26, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
:Except "Gossip Girl" is newer than a lot of other potential references, and we already have the identity of the speaker given as Earth (or the personification thereof). [[Special:Contributions/76.106.251.87|76.106.251.87]] 07:27, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

This may be ridiculous, but in the Avengers "How it Should Have Ended", at about 20 seconds, Loki says "I'll never tell" and laughs. That's the voice I always read it in, and as far as I can tell, the video came first.  [[Special:Contributions/162.158.63.82|162.158.63.82]] 04:59, 30 January 2018 (UTC)Daniel
