“Solar Bean” gets a Wikipedia article … briefly
Someone on the forums pointed me to a Wikipedia article on the “Solar Bean” meme. For those who don’t know, Solar Bean originated as a horrible misspelling/misremembering of the Black Sun weapon in the campaign. It first made its appearance in this thread, but it quickly became a forum meme, being used in such humorous settings as a UEF destroyer christened the HMS Solar Bean. Now as for the Wikipedia article, unfortunately, it’s part of my duties as a Wikipedia administrator to delete articles on non-notable subjects such as these, but I have saved a screenshot for posterity. Here you go.

I had been wondering what the “Solar Bean” thing was all about.

Apparently you got that screenshot before I tagged it for deletion. :-P

Nah, I just removed the tag before taking the screenshot, so it’d look nicer.
