 * In Issue #233, Rookie took over Aunt Arctic's Place in the "Ask Aunt Arctic" section.
 * In Issue #233, the Yeti penguin is thought to be Herbert, probably because of his eyes and the fact that he is asking for warm places. This IS true BECAUSE he keeps saying things like "This wall looks like it was broken recently, maybe by a drill?" and a few other mission- related things.
 * In Issue #233, Sensei has his own "Upcoming Events" Section. It was about his schedule, including how he watches for signs from nature about the next Card-Jitsu Element. This may mean that we will have a new element soon.

 * The 250th edition of the Club Penguin Times was released on July 29, 2010.
