Line 175:
** ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O]]'': Climax Form became Super Climax Form.
** ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'': CycloneJokerXtreme became CycloneJoker Gold Xtreme.
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhP4QiK8GzA The trailer] for the [[Disney+]] series ''[[The Muppets Mayhem]]'' makes a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Spinal Tap]]''{{'}}s Trope Namer with a brief shot of one of the Electric Mayhem's amplifiers -- which goes up to ''11.5''.
* A variation on this trope is responsible for David Banner's accidental acquisition of the power to turn into the Hulk in the [[Pilot Episode]] of the 1978 ''[[The Incredible Hulk (TV series)|The Incredible Hulk]]'' TV series -- a technician in Banner's lab was given to "suping up" the equipment, improving each device's power or efficiency. He had done so to the gamma ray projector, but had not yet relabeled the knob controlling the power level before Banner's late-night venture into experimenting on himself. Banner spun it up all the way to the top, but instead of getting a level of gamma exposure equal to the usual natural maximum he instead got hundreds or ''thousands'' of time more. In this case, 11 wasn't on the dial, but it went up to it anyway.

Line 384 ⟶ 386:
* The Russian "Tsar" projects: [[wikipedia:Tsar Bell|Tsar Bell]], the world's largest bell; [[wikipedia:Tsar Cannon|Tsar Cannon]], the world's largest howitzer; and the more recent [[wikipedia:Tsar Tank|Tsar Tank]] and [[wikipedia:Tsar Bomba|Tsar Bomb]].
* US Navy slang includes the term "All ahead Bendix." The ship's speed is controlled by a device which was often made by the Bendix company. Their logo was just beyond the maximum setting, so it appeared that "Bendix" was an option for higher speed.
* The [[Cool Car|Bugatti Veyron's]] power gauge stops neatly at [https://web.archive.org/web/20120916114151/http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-2006/2006-Bugatti-Veyron-Targa-Florio-Gauges-1600x1200.jpg 1001]. Actually it tops at about 1200 hp, but the constructors thought 1001 just looked cooler.
** 1001 metric hp (PS) would make around 987 hp. To keep the power rating at the advertised "over 1001 hp" in both systems of measures, metric and Imperial, Veyron engines make around 1020-1040 hp.
** While not quite as fast as the Veyron, the HTT Plethore LC-1300 "Canadian Supercar" has a 1,300 horse power engine and is designed as a 3-seater with the driver's seat and steering column in the centre like a Formula 1 car, and two passengers to the rear flanks of the driver.
