Mikiana is riddled with in-jokes:
http://kreativekorp.dyndns.org/mikiana/etymology.html

The most interesting one, not listed on that page, has to do with the
Mikiana word for "weird," "cyntha." One who does weird things becomes
a "cynthera," and one who has weird things done to them becomes a
"cynthia." For some reason most fictional characters I've encountered
named Cynthia seem to be victims of something weird.

I tried the real world once; didn't really care for it.

Beth: Lisa, all dogs are boys, all cats are girls. Is that right, Max?
Max: Exactly.
Lisa: Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Daisy is
obviously, and I mean obviously, a girl.
Max: Oh we're not disputing that. It's not a question of sex, but of gender.
Lisa: Sex and gender are the same thing.
Max: Uh, not so. I would much rather have sex than gender.
Lisa: Since you have neither that must be very sad for you.
