Strong Bad Email Secrets

Note: This is the original format of the secrets page.. after a bunch of complaints.. I changed it and made it awesome!

Burning Horizon's list of Strong Bad Email Secrets!

I started following Strong Bad recently on homestarrunner.com because he's so awesome.
(Also because my awesome friend Jason told me I would not be for awesome if I didn't, thanks Jason!)

I started noticing all the little secrets hidden in them, so I thought I'd try to keep track of them.
(Also my friend Per told me it would be for awesome, thanks Per!)
Some are more obvious than others, and may not be a 'secret' but I decided to track them anyway.
(I should mention one that is not listed here, the contrast knobs. They change the contrast on Strong Bad's screen.)

If you know of any secrets that I have not listed, or if you find a mistake - please let me know!
So far I have found about 72 secrets in the 62 Strong Bad emails that I have checked.
News: Since my page has been made somewhat available to the public I've heard comments that it's ugly. I knew this, and so today I'll be redeveloping it to look and work a little nicer, in the meantime if you have suggestions let me know.
