Skylab 4 Ghosts

“what”

– Gerry Pickup Truck on seeing the Skylab 4 Ghosts for the first time

The Skylab 4 Ghosts are the ghosts of the Skylab 4 Crew, consisting of Gerry Pickup Truck, Billp Ouge and I Couldn't Think Of A Funny-Sounding Name For Ed Gibson. They were first Spotted during the Skylab 3 mission in 1973, which is pretty stupid, because none of the Skylab 4 crew would actually be dead until 2014.

The only known photo of the Skylab 4 ghosts.

The heck's a Skylab?

Because there's no page written on it yet (As of April 2025), It's probably important to talk about what Skylab even is. Skylab was an American space station built from leftover moon landing doohickeys. It was home to the Skylab 2 crew, the Skylab 3 crew, the Skylab 4 crew, the Skylab 4 ghosts, and would have been home to the Skylab 5 crew, but Skylab 5 forgot to exist (Again, as of April 2025). Skylab is just an empty rocket stage you can live in. When someone writes a page on Skylab, they'll probably tell you more.

First Sighting

The Skylab 4 Ghosts would be first sighted by the crew of Skylab 3, that crew consisting of Alan Bean, Owen Garriott, and Jack Lousma. Lousma would be the first to see one, during 2-Weeks-Until-The-End-Of-Skylab-3, 1973. He would tell his crew: "we got a skylab 4 crew in here". When Bean spotted them, he would take the photo on the right, which you can view to the right of this paragraph. They didn't really see the Skylab 4 ghosts that much, given they first saw them during 2-Weeks-Until-The-End-Of-Skylab-3, and also because the Skylab 4 ghosts didn't appear often, particularly the ghost of Billp Ouge, since he was embarrassed about getting a not-very-good photo taken of him.

Self-Visit

Skylab 4 would also see the ghosts of themselves ... somehow. Gerry Pickup Truck, when he spotted them, famously said: "what"

Wha thappened to them?

Well, they are still currently waiting for Skylab 5 to exist, and for an actual page to be written about them. Nowadowadays, it makes a little more sense the Skylab 4 Ghosts exist, as Billp Ouge and Gerry Pickup Truck are actually dead now. Ed Gibson, however is still alive, and for some reason, is now roomates with his ghost.

Spaghetti Plants

“wow this is some good stuff”

– Victor Spaghetti on discovering spaghetti for the first time

“yeah this is some good stuff”

– the king of italy on trying spaghetti after it's discovery 3 hours before

Spaghetti plants are where the type of pasta known as spaghetti are grown. (you don't say? -J.U.) Contrary to popular belief, there is not only one type of Spaghetti Plants, there are actually two, those being Spaghetti Trees, and Spaghetti Bushes.

History & Evolution

The.. Fruit? Vegetable? Flower? Seed? ... of Spaghetti Plants.

The first Spaghetti Plants are theorized to evolved around the year -big number, in what would be Italy, but Italy would not be a thing until the Earth Online 1861 Update. Around the year -slightly less big number, it's theorized that the evolution of Spaghetti Trees and Spaghetti Plants would split and do... whatever evolving things do. Spaghetti Bushes would evolve into their current form by the year -lukewarm hotel, and they have not changed since. Spaghetti Trees however, still had to evolve for a while, and they're still evolving as of September 2025 (they're kind of perfectionists). Contrary to popular belief, Spaghetti was not discovered by Eminem's Mom, but actually Victor Spaghetti, who after 3 hours, went to the Grand Poo-bah of Italy, and told him to try it, and I think it's pretty obvious what happened after, given you can buy spaghetti probably anywhere on Earth, and all the 8-Twelves on Venus.

How to Grow

Firstly, the major difference between Spaghetti Trees and Spaghetti Bushes are that Spaghetti Trees are grown from a much harder kind of spaghetti, and Spaghetti Bushes are grown from a softer spaghetti, which is why they can't grow past being bushes. Also, spaghetti plants grow best in a climate similar to that of Italy. It's also important to not break the spaghetti, because that will cause it to not be able to grow into a spaghetti plant, and those 2 italian dudes on the internet will call you a silly sausage. Anyway, if you have the patience of a 4-year old, there are ways to make spaghetti plants grow faster, such as dumping (NOT DROWNING) spaghetti sauce on it, or putting meatballs on it. Nobody thus far is exactly sure why that causes spaghetti plants to grow faster, but there are spaghetologists (spaghetti scientists) trying to figure out how that works. Now assuming you've put spaghetti sauce or meatballs on the sprout of your spaghetti plant, that'll mean they probably take another 2 (if you're growing a spaghetti bush) to 18 years (if you're growing a spaghetti tree).

Where to Grow

Ideally around Italy, as that's where they evolved, but they can grow in many other places such as Delaware, Venus, My Cousin's Backyard (fun fact: the spaghetti tree there is what made me decide to write this), The Top Gear Test Track, and much more.

Why to Grow

Well, there's many reasons why you'd grow a spaghetti plant. Maybe you don't like the stuff in the stores, maybe you can't afford the stuff in the stores, maybe something to do with spoons, maybe... Alright, I've run out of maybes.

When to Grow

Spaghetti Season. It's as simple as that. (or if you don't know when Spaghetti Season is, March - September.)

What to Grow

That'd be a spaghetti plant. There's no other way you can get natural spaghetti.

Wether to Grow

Well for this, it really just depends if you like spaghetti or not. If you don't like it but your roommate Dan (or his girlfriend Catherine) does, get it as a birthday gift. If you like it, but someone else you live with doesn't, then tell them you're getting it anyways, and they should go throw a burrito at themselves or something. If you like it and you live by yourself, there's not really a problem there.

Who to Grow

...What?

The Vat19 Burrito Duel

“huah”

– the late Jon Stamm's last words

The Vat19 Burrito Duel was a duel between (the late) Jon Stamm and Danny Gula fought on February 22nd, 2022 2020. It resulted in the death of Jon, and a bit of a mess being made.

"ah"

Why it Happened

It all began because of one Joey Graves, king of something, presumably Missouri. Also, other Vat19 member (everyone here was/is in Vat19) Kara Irefusetowritethislastnamebecauseit'stoolongformetotype had involvement in this too, that being crying behind a railing while holding a fan. Anywanyways, Joey decided it would be funny for Jon and Danny to duel with burritos, and told them to do it.

The Duel

The duel began when Jon, who at the moment was very unsatisfied, slapped Danny and said he requested to be satisfied, to which Danny replied: "And you, my dear friend, shall be given the satisfaction you currently desire at this time, therefore making you no longer unsatisfied."

He

He is what many would consider a god, though mostly after World War II. He has died on several occasions, and He has had multiple marriages, not to mention He opposed the Austrian Mustache Painter Man way back in when the Roman Umpire was still a thing.

Skylab Rescue

The crew in question being Vance Brand (the one on the left) and Don Lind (the one not on the left)

Skylab Rescue is a currently on standby mission of the Apollo ApplicationsSkylab Program, which as of March 2026 has not yet launched.

Nobody thus far is truly sure when it could happen, though since 1973 during the Skylab 2 Mission (and all the other Skylab missions for that matter), there has always been a chance of it happening. It's also unknown how Skylab will be rescued, since the rocket to launch Skylab Rescue changes pretty often (such as AS-207 to rescue Skylab 2, AS-208 to rescue 3, etc.) and one of the crew members for it died a few years ago.

First Possibility (1973)

The first chance of Skylab Rescue occurring was during Skylab 2, which is pretty stupid considering Skylab 2 was a mission initially dedicated to rescuing Skylab 1 (which they did). If for some reason they had to rescue a rescue mission (basically defeating the purpose of the first rescue mission), the launch vehicle they would have used would have been AS-207 (which apparently stands for Apollo Saturn-Saturn 1B 7) and because Skylab rescue didn't happen the first time, AS-207 was instead used for Skylab 3.

Second Possibility (1973)

The second time Skylab Rescue could have happened was during Skylab 3 when the spacecraft used to carry the Skylab 3 crew decided to try and commit die (although some people think the ghosts did it). Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on if you hate Skylab 3), the Skylab 3 crew were able to take it to the doctor and get it fixed. Assuming they didn't do that (or the ghosts got it more sick, but you didn't hear that from me), the Skylab Rescue launch vehicle would have been AS-208, and since it didn't happen the second time either, AS-208 was used for Skylab 4.

Third Possibility (1973/1974)

Nice garden decoration, isn't it?

The third happenable of Skylab Rescue was during Skylab 4, but since nothing that would have required Skylab Rescue to happen did other than the mutiny/strike, there was basically no need for it. If there hypothypothetically was, the launch vehicle would have been AS-209, which (as of March 2026) is being used as a nice garden decoration.

Fourth Possibility (1974-Now)

The fourth probably of Skylab Rescue is currently happening, even though Skylab 5 hasn't remembered to exist yet. It's apparently been considered to use AS-209 for Skylab 5 (which would ruin the garden, but maybe find out if the Skylab 4 ghosts are still there). If it happens, it will somehow use AS-209 (which would once again, ruin the garden).

it could happen at any moment and we'd find out

Four.Fiveth Possibility (1975)

Technically this shouldn't be here, but it's going to be here anyway, so be quiet, you silly sausage. Skylab Rescue was considered for rescuing the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project which probably would have been really weird considering the ASTP wasn't part of Skylab, and one of the members of Skylab Rescue was on the ASTP. Once again, AS-209 would have been used if it happened, which it didn't.
