    I've recently noticed that a few of the barrels in PS:T appear to have radioactive labels on them. Anyone who's noticed anything similar or wants to offer an explanation please come forward.

    Also, I'm trying to find what mythological references there are, so far I have
    The Gordian Knot - A reference to Alexander the Great
    Tireseas (sp?) - I'd have missed him if he hadn't been pointed out, I don't know the Odessy well enough
    Perseus - mentioned in the description of the gorgon salve

    Indeed. There are more of these Easter Eggs - but I can't remember... My memory is like Nameless One's...

    Anyway - remember the Junk item? It is the same item as Junk item in Fallout. They just copied it. Not that I was surprised - PT deserved to get link to that great game.

    if u were familiar with the real planescape world, Sigil, the city of dorrs etc... then u would know that anything 'anything' can end up there, the doors travel through time as well as space so it can be concievable that the barrels came from our time and our wirld... maybe it was just a little touch the creaters added to the game for fun

    The barrels are from Fallout... And they also appear in Heart of Winter, in the gravedigger's cottage if I remember right. ;)
