"I was at the meeting where this event got its name. We were all kicking ideas around, and Eric Fein, who was editing SPECTACULAR and WEB, jokingly suggested that we call it "Maximum Clonage." We all groaned-yeah, it was a cute idea, but we really didn't want this to be associated with "Maximum Carnage" in any way. Despite the sales success of "Carnage," that story line wasn't exactly a high point in Spider-Man's history, and it was exactly the kind of thing I thought we were trying to get away from under the new administration. But the next thing we knew, Eric had proceeded to become very attached to the name, and suddenly he wasn't joking about it anymore."

It was at this point that Harry came to the sudden realisation that (a) the sounds coming from the rest of the train platform had turned into more of a blurred white noise at around the same time Draco had reached inside his robes, and (b) when he had discussed committing murder as a bonding method, there had been exactly one person in the conversation who'd thought they were joking.
Heavy: Seriously! Who killed Heavy?!
Demoman: It was me!
Heavy, Spy, Sniper and Engineer: (gasp in shock)
Demoman: Yes! I did it like this: (shoots Sniper) WOOP DEE DOO!
(Heavy, Spy and Engineer look at the dead Sniper in horror)
Demoman: That's a joke, lads.
(all three of them start laughing)
Demoman: It was...yo—*burp*—him! (points at Engineer)
Engineer: How did you know?
Demoman: I didn't. That's a joke too.

DTIBA: Agh, Chess. And not even chess with your hands on the board but spoken chess. If Kai is worried enough about it being chess in the first place, he's absolutely fricked with a game of chess in which he needs to give the pieces coordinates. All he can hope for is for Scarabath to make a cocky move that lets him perform fool's mate or scholar's mate.

DTIBA: I WAS JOKING! Scarabath actually set herself up for fool's mate? Cocky goddess.
Robin: You were joking, but it was in my script for two years already xD
