Trivia

  • This page is called "When a Fillipod meets a Fillipod, Comin' Through the Rye" - most likely a reference to Catcher in the Rye, which, in turn, references the song turned poem Comin' Thro' the Rye
  • Fessa isn't kidding about the walls having ears - a panopticon is built so everyone within it can be observed without knowing at any time.
