Line 12:
** The Jubal Early hallucination in the "Fourth Interlude" is especially screwy for the reader, as {{spoiler|he is alive and actively hunting the crew at that point in the story.}}
* Two words - ''[[My Immortal]]''. The fic originally starts off as an [[Author Avatar]] [[Relationship Sue]] dating [[Harry Potter|Draco Malfoy]] in a gothic Hogwarts. Right aroung the bathtub scene does the story contort into a ghastly creature: Voldemort wears high heels and used to be a goth who dated Harry's owl (who is now a goth boy.)

His [[Peter Chimaera Book of Hsitorical Fa Ffiction|"Book of Hsitorical FaFfiction"]] contains such gems as "Caser was dysnnrf om yjr back" in the Caesar segment, along with ''this'' behemoth in the segment on Thomas Edison:
