			== New format? ==

			I've been toying with the idea of trying to make a cleaner format for the annotations, to make them easier to read, and since I had a few things to add and change for this page anyway, I went ahead and tried it out. What do we think? Is this better? I was thinking if there are any annotations for the title, cover or generally about a book, we could have a "General Annotations" section before the specific page references under "Specific Annotations". -- [[User:Guybrush\|Guybrush]] ([[User talk:Guybrush\|talk]]) 07:13, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

	As we noticed before, the likeness of Ponder Stibbons was created before Daniel Radcliffe's first H*y P**r was released. Was Paul K. watching very carefully, or is it a great coincidence? The forehead line in the pencil-chewing picture isn't jagged; which is the "infamous portrait"? --[[User:Old Dickens\|Old Dickens]] 00:04, 22 November 2009 (UTC)		As we noticed before, the likeness of Ponder Stibbons was created before Daniel Radcliffe's first H*y P**r was released.

			Thought about the Blue Oyster Cult anthem ''Golden Age of Leather'' which is about the last stand of old unrepentant Hell's Angels for whom the world has got too small. In a world holding nothing for them any more, they choose to go out and die in a blaze of glory:

			''For that fantastic night was billed/As nothing less than the '''end of an age''',/ A last crusade, a final outrage...''

			''We made a vow to give it all we had to give!/ We made a vow to die as we have lived!"

			The Silver Horde certainly embody this attitude...

			''The wind hit the desert with a giant hand/ and the humans saw the horrors in the shifting sand/The lone Ranger weathered the storm, as he topped the rise by their Little Big Horn/He saw rippled dunes and a sight surreal.../ and the glimpse of a solitary shaft of chromium steel...''

			OK, snow rather than desert sand, and a vacant shattered wheelchair rather than a broken Harley, but the song sure fits.... --[[User:AgProv\|AgProv]] 02:08, 17 July 2011 (CEST)
