[edit] Fire with spectacles
I removed the following from the article to here: "While not shown on the series, he was also instrumental to the creation of fire using spectacles (something not normally possible with concave lenses)[1]. " The reference, a "forum" called somethingawful.com, demands a $9.95 payment to be allowed access, which seems excessive. A "forum" also does not sound like a reliable source which would satisfy WP:A, unless it is a reliable source with identified authors of articles and an editorial board which verifies material and exercises editorial control. I would like someone with access to at least paraphrase what it purports to say about him creating fire with eyeglasses. Is it a legitimate reference or just a spam link to gain revenue for the site?

- Something Awful does have a membership fee, but it is free for all to read. You should be able to access it yourself. The link is to posts made by Yau-Man himself. While there is no editorial board excersising control over his statements, that seems unnecessary. Please don't remove.
