Watching some videos, came across this.

While looking up what “butter zone” means, they stumbled into a Straight Dope post by Little Nemo talking about Adam wrapped up in bubble wrap on mythbusters.

Not related, not relevant, but just mundane and pointless that I felt the need to share.

An odd thing: Hovering over the thread title on the forum page displays the text in the spoiler box.

This is a known [del]feature[/del] bug.

You can hide text from a mouseover by including it in a single set of square brackets [like so].

However to make this [del]bug[/del] feature work for Spoilers, the brackets must be inside the Spoiler tag (and there can’t be any more VB formatting inside the Spoiler (ie italics or bolding) or it’ll be a jumbled mess).

This thread seems awfully similar to [Finding a SD reference in the Wild.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=819324)
