- Hacked Item
Notes
- Hacked from the database pre-ascension. It was believed this item would become common once ascension had been rolled out, however, this expectation is yet to be realized.
References
- This phrase comes from the movie Labyrinth, as a precursor to "Dance. magic, dance", a song sung by David Bowie about the baby he has stolen from Jennifer Connely's character: "You remind me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo. Who do? You do. Do what? Remind me of the babe!"
- The "you remind me of the babe" exchange is actually a takeoff of "you remind me of a man," which appeared (and possibly originated) in the 1947 Cary Grant / Myrna Loy movie The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. Since there's a good chance no one on the dev team has even heard of this movie, the reference is almost certainly a reference to Labyrinth, and this fact is mentioned for purely historical reasons.
- Further, the end quote probably comes from the television series "Law & Order", where the character Executive Assistant District Attorney Ben Stone says, "I'm not the one on trial here, I'm the one asking the questions!".
