The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul: Difference between revisions

* [[90% of Your Brain]]: Kate, shortly before awakening from a coma in a hospital, has a dream in which her mind is represented by an infinite collection of cabin trunks, of which ten percent contain past memories, and the remaining ninety percent contain [[Everything's Better with Penguins|penguins]]. She assumes this trope is in effect.

* [[Norse Mythology]]

* [[Occult Detective]]

* [[Self-Deprecation]]: A minor character is a writer named Howard Bell. It is stated that his writing is absolutely horrible, but he remains wildly popular and successful for two reasons: he deliberately cultivates an air of freakish mystery, and his name is perfect for a book cover because the first name is long and the last name is short. On his books, his first name is written in a medium-sized blocky font followed by his last name in a larger font, so that his name fills out the cover and upstages the title. Bell is probably a [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] version of [[Stephen King]], but still, it's funny to see that character created by someone named Douglas Adams.
