Fun Facts
- Satan has a hotmail account which has been cleverly disguised by leaving out the first A from his name, leaving a regular Stan.
- Steve's e-mail address is shown to be on the eruditebaboon.co.uk domain, which breaks the fourth wall (but fortunately not the fifth) as the name "erudite baboon" is the creator James Turner's nickname on the internet, and the aforementioned domain has been registered by him.
References
- In case you're very lucky and haven't experienced great volumes of Spam, "Your eBay account has been suspended" is a common form of e-mail phishing and "online pharmacy" is most likely one of the two most common types of forum spam, next to "poker casino". Or was it "online casino" and "poker pharmacy"?
- Furthermore, Satan seems to have successfully tricked Steve into another common online menace known as Lottery scam.
- The 666 in Satan's e-mail address is known as the Number of the Beast.
