DOTT history lesson for non-Americans

[ThunderPeel2001]

There's so many odd references in Day of the Tentacle that don't make any sense if you're not American that I thought I'd put together a history lesson (of commonly held myths) that are useful to understand if you're a non-American DOTT player:

Possibly especially useful with the DOTT: Special Edition around the corner!

Yes. But two years ago I was at the Pinkerton Road farm and was also in Philadelphia. And as Dott fan it was nice to see.

 

But if you read the manual of Dott right then you know that it´s not exactly right.

I can't find an answer to Jefferson's deal witht the log. What's up with this wooden obsession?

I'm not 100% sure, but it's possible that his obsession comes from the fact that rather than buying the materials to build his home, he used all of the materials around his property to build Monticello. This included molding and baking his own bricks from the clay and using lumber from the trees on his property. He also planted trees on the property (possibly to compensate for the ones he cut down).

I don't think it's any more than he had a crappy object to place into time capsule... which you happened to need.
