* [[20% More Awesome]]: An angel shows Roy [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0489.html a graph] of Belkar's evil against time, measured in kilonazis. The standard unit is based on a hypothetical lovechild of [[The Lord of the Rings (Literature)|Sauron]] and [[The Hundred and One Dalmatians|Cruella DeVille]].
