Line 458:
* ''[[Starslip Crisis]]'' has the sculpture known as "The Spine of the Cosmos". Looking at it by itself is harmless, but when its artistic context is described to the viewer, they are either granted ultimate understanding of the universe or driven insane—either way, becoming a mindless zombie. The insectoid aliens known as Cirbozoids are the only intelligent species immune to this, due to their inability to understand art.
** Also, Cirbozoids can kill people by crying.
** The context involves [[Creator/Yeats|Yeats]]' [[Vagueness Is Coming|poem]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100815092814/http://starslip.com/2007/11/30/starslip-number-664/ The Second Coming]
** It is forever robbed of this ability, however, when its artistic context is irreparably changed by {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Mr. Jinx wearing it as a hat]]}}, and is thereafter described by at least one character as "the dumbest thing i've ever seen".
* Librarian Dewey develops a book talk guaranteed to make people faint in ''[[Unshelved]]''!
