Confusion over Yowie/YHWH Incident is the generalized term used for an instance when Chris was extremely confused. It is perhaps better known by a fit of uncontrollable laughing committed by Lukas.
Origin
During the Summer of 2004, a common pastime was to play basketball at the Hooray For Me Basketball Courts. Occasionally games would be played involving several different group members, but visits were typically reserved for relaxed shoot around sessions, and at times Escapades. One day, a group comprised of Chris, Kevin and Lukas had opted for the former, in the form of a game where a participant would take two shots from five positions beyond the three point arc of the court so that when finishing, you could calculate your 3-point percentage easily. After completing several rounds, the three individuals had gotten to talking about mundane topics, not the least of which was that of the Yowie (roughly the Australian equivalent of the American Sasquatch). Not knowing what this was, Chris asked Kevin, "wait, is that the thing that's in your buddy info?", referring to the then profile information of Kevin's screen name, which contained a reference to Yahweh, the Tetragrammaton of the Hebrew Bible and holy name of the Jewish God. Kevin, without thinking, corrected Chris's query and continued on describing the original topic, but by this time Lukas was already overcome with intense laughter and persisted for several more minutes. It came to be known as an incident solely because of Lukas's role.
