* In Literature/GoingPostal, the idea is first explicitly stated that "Man is not forgot, if his name is still spoken" with regards to the original founder of the Grand Trunk.[[note]]This also combines with an idea from Literature/ReaperMan that a person isn't ''fully'' dead until the "ripples" of effect their actions introduce into the world die out.[[/note]] However, there was someone else that wasn't forgotten... someone else so influential that there was an entire ''continent'' -- The Counterweight Continent -- based on his works and ideas.

* Faced with five armies and a butterfly-conjured storm, Cohen finds himself wishing there'd been at least one god whose temple he ''hadn't'' sacked in his long career. Unbeknownst to him, there ''is'' one: the Lady, whose side he's unwittingly fighting for in the game of Mighty Empires, and whose temple he ''couldn't'' have looted (because she doesn't have any temples).
