Talk:Gray & Sons

Gray and Sons ... plural

I'm surprised the name of the shop hasn't started a flood of "OMG PETER IZ SYLAR'S BROTHER" posts on 9thWonders.com yet. Seriously, though: are we supposed to take away from this that Sylar has brother(s), or is it named for perhaps his grandfather, father, and uncle(s)?--Hardvice (talk) 03:53, 29 November 2006 (EST)

• No, no, it's a typo - it should be "Gray and Suns" - it's a reference to the eclipse, and it means that Sylar has to eat brains everytime the sun is obstructed. :) Ryangibsonstewart 05:13, 29 November 2006 (EST)

Ampersand

Are there any good brains out there that know how to make this page "Gray & Sons" instead of "Gray and Sons"? Minor detail, but all the same ... - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:10, 30 November 2006 (EST)

• I tried using &, but it still broke. Since an ampersand is the opening character for HTML escape codes, it's not surprising it breaks. My guess is this is why Wikipedia has a policy against special characters in article titles.--Hardvice (talk) 01:14, 30 November 2006 (EST)

Watch Shop Clock Logo

Under the trivia section, it says "The picture of the clock on the front window depicts the time 11:53." As far as I can see, there are no hands on the clock on the storefront. Maybe I'm missing something, but I wanted to get a second pair of eyes on this before I edit. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:05, 11 December 2006 (EST)

• I did the same thing. It's not the window at the front, it's the window behind Brian Davis when he's using his powers (see Image:Powers_brian_davis.jpg. The window at the front seems to have hands, and they seem to be on 11:53, but the shot never pans up far enough to see more than the reverse ends of the hands, so it's really, really hard to tell.--Hardvice (talk) 12:22, 11 December 2006 (EST)
  • Oh hey, you can't see it in that shot, either. It's there, though. I'll get another cap.--Hardvice (talk) 12:23, 11 December 2006 (EST)
    
    • Okay, I can see like a sliver of a hand in the Brian shot, so I'm convinced. I trust you - no need to get a new shot - you've been slaving over those screencaps all night! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:27, 11 December 2006 (EST)
      • The above image is a lot better. The funny thing is I was totally ready to get rid of that trivia, and I just happened to see it when I was getting the cap of the crystal. We should probably reword it a bit, though. I just checked the front window, turned the brightness way up, and what I thought were the reverse ends of the hands is just more clocks in the background.--Hardvice (talk) 12:31, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Heroes ARG Site

Is it me or is it frustratingly annoying that http://www.grayandsons.com is also the Web site for watchmakers in Florida. *grumble* Bkdelong 21:12, 10 February 2007 (EST)

• Actually, I think that it is incredibly funny. That, and that NBC really failed to do their homework on the naming; usually they are pretty pedantic about not having fantasy characters named after real-world things. I think the Conan O'Brian show has a bit about it too, that apparently whenever a fake web site is listed on NBC, the corporation tries to purchase it. --Orne 23:24, 10 February 2007 (EST)
• Incidentally, this makes it definitely not an ARG site. --Orne 23:24, 10 February 2007 (EST)
