Line 142:
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Minor character [[Punny Name|Leda Swansen]] generates electricity, and has been known to use her ability in place of a taser.
* [[Single Phlebotinum Limit]]: Handwavium, which makes everything possible, is the only substance of its kind known to humanity. (And some say that's ''more'' than enough.)
* [[Single-Purpose Planet]]: The [[Shared World|collaborative writing project]] ''[[Fenspace]]'' has several, if you are generous enough to consider an asteroid-sized body a "world".
** [http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Disney%27s_World Disney's World]. Originally the main belt asteroid 4017 Disneya, the [[Disney]] corporation had it towed from the asteroid belt and then turned into a [https://kardashev.fandom.com/wiki/Cole_Habitat Cole Habitat] with mouse ears. Inside of the now hollow and spherical former asteroid, Disney has built a space-based version of their Earthbound theme parks.
** "Renfaire", found on asteroid 4860 Gubbio in the Main Belt, is owned by historical-reenactment fen. The park's biggest attraction is its resident population of wandering minstrels, troubadours, and bards. Its second-biggest attraction is the monthly roasting of an entire ox - this is the only red meat some people in the Belt ever eat.
** "Jurassic Rock" is the nickname of an asteroid owned by the Vesta Institute of Biochemistry. Originally intended as an easily-isolated place to perform dangerous genetic engineering experiments, successes at cloning pseudo-dinosaurs in 2011 created a tourist attraction. People come from across the System to see the (small) herds of Protoceratopses, Kentrosaurs, and Pterodactyls kochi.
** "Monster Asteroid" is the name given to the hollowed-out interior of 2277 Moreau, which is filled with jungle terrain, complete with a underground sun. This park is devoted to all of the classic giant monster movies. [[Godzilla]], [[Mothra]], [[Rodan]], [[Gamera]], [[King Kong]]... they're all represented. Rumors that some of the monsters are not animatronic, but instead a bio-engineered living creatures, are unfounded.
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Attila Imre of the ''Grover's Corners''.
* [[Slices, Dices, and Makes Julienne Fries]]: Explicitly referenced with the character [http://fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Julian_Friez Julian Friez] -- all the many instances of him. The original Julian was the subject/victim of a bizarre [[Cloning Blues|replication machine]] created by [[Mad Scientist|"The Professor"]], which has three simple controls -- buttons marked "Slice", "Dice" and "Make Julian Friez". Pushing the third and providing the machine with about 200 pounds of biomass to work from produces a clone of Mr. Friez, complete with all his memories and personality traits up to the moment the Professor used him as a template.
