Trivia

• On the strange Machine it says 'Pouletmorph' - Poulet is French for Chicken.
• Unlike most of the court cases, the plaintiff (Ernest) is listed vs. the defendant (Professor Oddenstein). Most of them are listed the other way around. Strangely, it is traditional in real court cases to list in the order this one does (Plaintiff vs. Defendant) making the majority of court cases in RuneScape listed backwards.
• When defending and you call Ernest to the stand and ask him that he tells you about being a chicken, and he responds that he never actually remembers being a chicken, your character criticizes him and makes a reference to the quest Forgettable Tale....
• While talking to Veronica about her marriage with Ernest, she tells the player that it was delayed due to Ernest getting himself into trouble. In one incident, Ernest gets trapped in a dungeon because he forgot he had the door key in his pocket.
