* In a 1998 installment of the web humor column [https://web.archive.org/web/20130823224548/http://www.bookofratings.com/ The Book of Ratings], the "Mystical Creatures" rating contains a sarcastic quip about vampires going the way of the unicorn: "If it hasn't happened already, in a few months look for airbrushed posters of sad vampires in Wal-Marts everywhere, and in a decade look for female college students saying to each other "Were you into vampires when you were nine? Me too! We were such dorks!" Yeah, um, [[Twilight (novel)|about that...]]
** In an even earlier Rating for "Constellations," he complains about the names of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor: "The Big Bear and the Little Bear sounds like a heartwarming Disney feature." [[Brother Bear|About that too...]]
** There's ''another one'' (the man has a lot of these) where he notes that he's bugged by beer commercials that show off fields of wheat. One of the most integral parts of beer is hops, but he says that beer commercials would never show off hops <s>trees</s> vines/buds, because the fact that beer is made from ''flowers'' would be too ''unmanly.'' Of course, now Samuel Adams beer makes a very big deal out of the fact that they use lots of hops in their beer (and, yes, even show off the vines in bloom).
