==Trivia==
*In Random Contest #60, the quote ''"Congratulations to our staff winner Ziggy!"'' was used, possibly referencing to the dog being shown in the picture.
*When Random Contest #75 was released, the archive of images for #74 were not released. This has since been fixed.
*When Random Contest #79 was released, an error of the closing date of the contest was shown on the scrolling text, which said submissions closed on November 10, 2006, which was the date the contest began.
*[[Lawyerbot]] sometimes says something different than the warnings he gives users or participates in the contest in some way. In contest #18, at the bottom of the winners page, the following was printed...<blockquote>''Lawyerbot Says:''<br>''Lawyerbot is right.''<br>''He is always very right.''<br>''Do listen to him.''<br><br>''Don't listen to him.''<br>''He is just a lawyer bot.''<br>''What does a bot know?''</blockquote>In contest #69's description, the text, "You hear high pitched screams...Someone really needs to restrain lawyerbot...", appeared, possibly due to all the legal issues needed to be dealt with for that specific contest. In contest #81, before his usual warnings to be safe while creating a craft, he said, "I always wanted a shiny braclet," followed by the ":(" smiley. This happened again in contest #85, with Layerbot licking his lips then saying, "Yummy! Please save me a piece."
