| This was posted on a thread suggesting that [[Agent Locke|Locke]] could be the son of [[Avery Johnson]]. It refers to a common (and often mocked) medical warning that erectile dysfunction pills may induce "an erection lasting longer than four hours"; "Johnson" is a slang term for the penis.

| This comment was posted in response to a forum user who jokingly suggested that the [[unidentified alien vessel]] from [[Terminal/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'''s terminals]] was not built by "dogs, cats, or certain bears" on account of its slipspace capability. "Ursus sapiens" is Latin for "wise bear".

| The original query was posted by former ''Halopedia'' administrator [[User:Grizzlei|Grizzlei]]. The tone and content reflect the tongue-in-cheek background of the [[FOTUS]] armor from ''[[Halo 4]]''.
