When he was briefly trapped in the [[Prime Universe]]'s [[Spirit Realm]], and had to “haunt” his friend [[Juliet-178]] to tell her how to physically bring him back, [[Pythagoras-858]] briefly got off-track and started referring to Juliet as Ebenezer, stating in a uncharacteristically formal tone: “''I am here to-night to warn you, that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate. A chance and hope of my procuring, Ebenezer. You will be haunted by [[The Three Spirits|Three Spirits]]…''”. He soon realised the Realm was “messing with his head” and started sounding like himself again.

Real versions of the plot of ''A Christmas Carol'' were frequently implemented by at least one set of [[the Three Spirits]] who travelled from dimension to dimension, enacting the scenario for a variety of bitter old businessmen who were often — but not always — called [[Ebenezer Scrooge|Scrooge]].
