[edit] Final Images

Am I the only one who does not see these "final images"?--Dylankidwell 22:52, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

What do you mean? --Weirdy 07:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

He's talking about the clues at the last image of every book. No, Dylankidwell, you're not the only one. --Marvolo 09:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Puttanesca

The early edits had the orphan's preparing Pasta Puttanesca. The article currently gives the impression that they serve only the Puttanesca sauce. If this is the case, I'm not surprised that Olaf complains. Please clarify. Also, how do they prepare a sauce if they "They don't have any ingredients"? TheMadBaron 22:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Literary Allusions

Each book in ASOUE contains a wealth of Literary Allusions. Right now only The End has a section on them. I'm adding one here, please discuss/revise/evaluate. TwilightVolunteer 21:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "A Series of Unfortunate Events #1: Or, Orphans!"

Shouldn't information about "A Series of Unfortunate Events #1: Or, Orphans!" and "A Series of Unfortunate Events #2: Or, Murder!" be added here? What are these books any way? A Quaqmire series?
