=== Fun Facts === *thoraxcorp.com is the web site of Thorax Corporation, a fake company created by The Brothers Chaps. *Stickly Man is almost certainly a reference to the popular Flash cartoon series Xiao Xiao, in which stick figures kill eachother in elaborately-choreographed fight scenes. See [Newgrounds Presents: Xiao Xiao]. *The entire fight scene is completely pulled from the popular original Nintendo game, Ninja Gaiden, which has an introduction sequence of two ninjas having a dual. The freeze-frame during the jump, the "...", everything! For those that know the original game, this is so awesome! The Brothers Chaps are geniuses! You can check out screen shots of the fight sequence from Ninja Gaiden at [Ninja Gaiden Screens]. *The first listing in the credits reads "Executive Producer H. Yamauchi." Hiroshi Yamauchi was the former president of Nintendo and appeared in the credits as executive producer in many of Nintendo's older games. There are a few other names that are also Nintendo employees, namely S. Miyahon and Ten Ten. These are people who worked on the original Legend of Zelda game. These credits also appeared at the end of StrongBadEmail/japanese cartoon. *When Stinko man jumped in he said the same thing as Strong Bad said when jumped of the table in StrongBadEmail/funny *The "..." part is a take off of many video games. It is supposed to be a pause where all that you can hear is heavy breathing, but they couldn't dub video games a while ago. *The three boxes at the bottom of the site contain some pretty funny advertisements. They are of the same quality you'd expect from Thorax Corporation Here they are: **Spam Free Living!! Tired of spam-getting ventures gone horpfully wrong!!

It was changed only after a few hours though, as one could not see Stickly Man leap to chllange Stinko Man. *At the end, if you click on the back button it will always go back to the 20X6 main page. *The time between when Stinkoman pops up and when he doesn't is really the loading part. *the last guy in the credits is named kevin... marzipan answering machine, video camera? |
