The Phazon link in the article leads to the Phazon of the Metroid Prime series.... I'd fix that, but I'm not sure if what the link should be actually exists. - Anon

[edit] Apple's X11 implementation
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/ look at the headline! I've updated the article correspondingly
[edit] Powerpuff Girls reference
FWIW, there's a PPG episode where Bubbles asks for the difficulty setting on a simulator to be set to 11 to prove she is strong.
[edit] Actual Joke Set-up?
I thought the actual setup to the punchline was that he's showing off all of his amps, and then singles out one of them as being very special - because its dial goes up to eleven, making it louder than all the others. I.e. it's just the one amp that goes up to 11, not all of them. In fact, he's very possessive of this amp, and doesn't want the interviewer to touch it or point at it or even look at it. The following transcript http://corky.net/scripts/ThisIsSpinalTap.html seems to back me up, so I'm going to edit the page, but I thought I'd put my reasoning here.

- For the record, though, it's a guitar he's never played that he asks DiBergi not to touch or point at.206.116.141.183 02:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

- For what it's worth: the scene starts at 22'04 in the movie. And the scene can be seen here: youtube. Peter S. 22:45, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Dresden Files dials it up to eleven
FYI, in the Feb 11, 2007 episode of The Dresden Files (TV series), "Hair of the Dog", Harry Dresden wants to try and track someone's movements by scent. He grabs something from his desk and sniffs it. When another character asks what he's doing, he off-handedly says "I'm dialing my nose up to eleven."
Not sure that it's significant enough to include in the pop culture section of this article, but there you go. Dugwiki 22:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
