Did You Know?
| Trivia | At one time Benny mentions a "Duce" who got hit by a train. This is a reference to "El Duce", lead-singer of punk-Hardcore band "the Mentors", who claimed Courtney Love offered him $50,000 to kill Kurt Cobain. He appeared in Nick Broomfield's "Kurt and Courtney" documentary. He died under mysterious circumstances after he made these claims. See more » |

However, when he tests the handle, the door opens a little bit, thus revealing that it wasn't locked in the first place. See more » |
