 		Fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia or Triskaidekaphobia but those didn't generate any new pages on whysoserious.com.

 		Gotham & Poisson D'Avril
Historical Connection?
So Gotham, in British legend, was the name of a city in England full of fools and tricksters:

"In British a folklore, a link had been made to April Fools Day to the town of Gotham a legendary town of fools located in Nottinghamshire. The legend reveals that in the thirteenth-century, any road on which the King travelled became public property. The Gotham citizens did not wanted to loose their main road to the King, spread a false story to stop King John from travelling through heir town. King John learning about the deception send a messenger to Gotham and demanded an explanation. When the messenger arrived in Gotham he noticed that the town was full of lunatics who were engaged in foolish activities, such as drowning fish, attempting to cage a birds in roofless fences, etc. (though, of course, their foolery was all an act). The King fell for the ruse and declared the town too foolish to warrant punishment. And ever since then, April Fool's Day has commemorated their trickery."

What if "Poisson d'Avril" also means that we should look out for things talking about fish?


Speaking of fish, the Gotham Ferry System is advertised on the Cable News site. Gave the System Status Hotline a ring but just got a message saying that all the ferries are operating okay. Think this is the new lead? P.S. SOOOOO glad this thread still has some kick in it.

That seems to be as big as it is. It's kinda teeny. I hope that's how it's supposed to be and not a result of technology behaving in a silly fashion.

EDIT: Other such pics from Joker phones posted at SHH seem to be just as small, so I think it's alright

Well, the PMs have to know that a majority of the Joker Phones went to the SHH fanatics... so point to where your players are.
