 You guys, I just realized that "Arts" scrambled so that the letters S-T are at the start is "star", therefore making this comic title "Dark Star," an ancient entity last seen in a Super Mario Bros. RPG. I don't know if this is a coincidence or what, but it's WEIRD. [[User:Z1mp0st0rz|Z1mp0st0rz]] ([[User talk:Z1mp0st0rz|talk]]) 17:11, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

 The first found from "Obi-Wan Kenobi", who appears to be a crazy hermit although later it's established that he lives on Tatooine specifically to protect Luke Skywalker, secretly.  The second, found from the first.  But halfway down "Dangerous techniques", I haven't found an example that precisely fits this comic.  I did skip the "anime and manga" entries, which are said to be many.  Oh, wait: under Literature, "Babylon 5" (spin off books evidently) mentions a telepath interrogating someone by mind reading when they are dying or brain dead.  That is unhealthy, and actually does correspond to some scenarios of struggling with data filesystems: rescuing data from a dead disk.  [[Special:Contributions/141.101.107.43|141.101.107.43]] 11:29, 22 October 2021 (UTC) Robert Carnegie rja.carnegie@gmail.com
