Trivia
- Hossan's e-mail address is HOSSAN75@grypa.org.
- Hossan claims in his e-mail that he jumped ship in Florida, despite the fact the Platypus is still docked in East Hook, and stays there for the entire game.
- "Hossan" is not an Arabic name, and in fact is a Anglicized form of the Arabic first name Hossam. Ramzy is correctly Arabic. An authentic rendering of his name would be Hossam Ramzy.
