* ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'': When [[Douglas Adams]] revealed that the question which produced the Ultimate Answer (42) was {{spoiler|What is six times nine?}}, somebody pointed out that the math actually did add up... if you use base 13. Adams responded, "[[Self-Deprecation|I may be a sad individual]], but I don't make jokes in base 13."
* Stanley Howler from the [[Discworld]] book ''[[Discworld/Going Postal (Discworld)|Going Postal]]'' is so obsessed with his pin collection, even the other pin collectors in Ankh-Morpork think he's "a bit weird about pins". Then Moist von Lipwig invents the postage stamp, and Stanley proceeds to obsess over ''those'', inventing stamp collecting (and becoming incredibly dismissive about people who are "still" collecting pins).
