Have you ever noticed what seem to be accidental references in pop culture or anywhere really?

I'll start it off:

1 - In Microsoft Word, you can space your paragraphs "Double" or "Multiple" - both power-ups in Gradius

2 - In Ellie Goulding's "Burn" she says "Play it Loud", the Game Boy slogan.

The MS Word one especially cracks me up sometimes. I wonder if anyone has any of these?

I work at a plumbing wholesaler, everything is Mario, Pipe Dream or Half-Life but definitely not Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.

In fact, I'm gonna hijack this thread. Games with pipes/plumbing in them! GO!

It's funny you say that because I still remember a moment, to this day, in grade 7 (maybe 15 years ago) where we had an assignment with questions lettered A-Z in math class and the answer to N was 64. I put up my hand when teach asked for the answer and I was like, "N64!"................................... *sigh*... I'm a loser.

If you look at someone doing a handstand while upside down, they appear to be upright with wacky hair.....
