Gut and wing are definitely 15% drops. Sonar is plausibly 10%. Taking sonar to be 10% after collecting overall drop rate data in the junction (excluding the skullbat and screambat). --Flargen 06:28, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Not a reference

The bit about a vampire bird in the description is proably a reference to Krakrox the Barbarian, another game made my Asymmetric Publications, in which a vampire bird was a common foe.

• The term "vampire bird" is taken directly from the Wesley Willis song "Vampire Bat", upon which this entire adventure is based, and has nothing to do with Krakrox the Barbarian. If anything, the vampire bird in Krakrox the Barbarian is also a reference to Wesley Willis. --Quietust (t|c) 10:02, 27 February 2007 (CST)
  • To further clarify, the exact lyrics of the song "Vampire Bat" are as follows:
    "Once upon a time, a man was attacked by a vampire bird
    He was sucked to death
    The vampire bird killed him at last
    
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    
    The lake of fire tore his ass up
    He was burning to the crisp
    He was cast into the lake of burning flame
    
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    
    After the vampire bird sucked blood out of me,
    He started stabbing me in my ass
    Then three more vampire birds stabbed me in my ass too
    They sucked the blood out of me, killing me
    
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    Vampire bat
    
    Rock over London. Rock on, Chicago.
    Folgers: it's good to the last drop." --Quietust (t|c) 10:48, 11 April 2007 (CDT)

Random musing

"Folgers - it's good to the last drop" is a rather odd combination, don't you think? After all, the slogan for Folgers is "The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup", while "Good to the last drop" belongs to Maxwell House. It'd be amusing if the fumble message were changed to reflect this. --Quietust (t|c) 10:12, 27 February 2007 (CST)
