I can honestly say that this is the best Sam and Max episode ever! All the inside jokes that only a historian would get make this episode twice as funny.

I am going to force all of my history major friends to get out of the library and buy this game!

Thanks, Telltale.

/Maybe over Spring Break I'll get about explaining all of the inside references.
//But probably not.

Nice to hear, and quite typical indeed. As a mathematician I found it quite funny when Max said "I have not so much a personality matrix as a personality vector". You'd have to be quite the homo universalis to get absolutely every joke in Sam and Max. Why, even looking up such words as Lagomorph (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagomorph) and Ptomaine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptomaine#Ptomaine) can enhance your experience quite a bit.

I agree

... and, apparantly, I have to type 10 letters for my response to count. Pfft.

Yeah, I agree, being a history student as well (hi!). But I assume most Americans have received a patriotic enough education to get most of the jokes as well.

Sadly, you're wrong on that front, Haggis. I think a typical 13 year old in Europe knows more about the US government than a college student here.

Don't make me find out where you live!

"We have a government?"

If that's what you want to call it, yes.

Sam: "...the presedent of the united state!"

Max: "Who?"

And still he can remember 100 digits in PI, that little guy really never stops to suprise me.

I know, it is impressive... I only know 21 digits .

This thread has inspired me to tell my history major cousin about these games... it also doesn't hurt that he is from North Dakota.

Pah! I knew five hundred decimal places back in high school. And that's nothing compared to the Japanese man who could memorize 100,000.

Don't you wish you could put that on a resume and have it count for something? :p

Pi is exactly three (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hbWq_-U7Lc4)!
