The '''2009 Costa Rica earthquake''' occurred at 01:21:34 p.m. [[UTC-6|local time]] (6:21:34 p.m. [[UTC]]) on January 8, 2009.  The epicenter of the 6.1&nbsp;[[Moment magnitude scale|M<sub>w</sub>]] [[earthquake]] was in northern [[Costa Rica]], {{convert|30|km|mi}} [[north-northwest]] of [[San José, Costa Rica|San José]].<ref name="USGS"/> The earthquake was felt all over Costa Rica as well as in southern central [[Nicaragua]].<ref name="USGS"/>
  
3 Eyed blue Luigi is a [[phantom]] based upon [[Mario]]'s fear that he will one day commit incest with his brother [[Luigi]] for not eating enough swords. He has never been seen by anyone other than Mario but is always there in the corner, just out of sight. The only person Mario has told about his this living nightmare is Yoshi. Yoshi then went and told everyone.

It can be assumed that Luigi himself doesn't know about Mario's secret fear, for he has never mentioned. Although admittedly asking a brother if they are having sex nightmares about you can't be the easiest subject to bring up over the dinner table. Yoshi once ate his own faecal matter - can you believe that!? I can.

3 Eyed Blue Luigi is the [[Vice President]] of [[Bowser]]'s committee for ethnic cleansing. He often finds himself at odds with [[Rowby Goren]], the creator (but he has since disowned it) of [[Yoshiart]].com, a website filled with viruses and trojan porn. But that doesn't stop them all enjoying it and they read out the emails (which are printed onto yellow paper) to each other for big lulz and cum fests.
