In your "Rumors" section (the Character portion, to be precise), you listed the rumor that Mystic Gohan going Super Saiyan would blow up the world. This is false obviously, because Gohan later goes Super Saiyan in DBGT (not that that actually means anything). Back in the day (the day being four or five years ago), I was obsessed with DBZ power levels. Why? I'm a numbers guy and I like to keep lists.
I have probably looked at every unique list of power levels on the net, and I remember one specifically. It was easily the most analytical, math-based list ever made. The one problem: The man screws up all the levels in the Saiyan/Frieza saga, and thus throws his calculations off through the rest of the series. It's tragic, really. It could have been the best ever. Anyway, he would list a saiyan's base power, then multiply and such to get Super Saiyan power levels and the like. This is, sadly, the wrong way to go about it, as Vegeta says in the Android Saga that math can't be used to calculate Super Saiyan power levels. He also gave detailed analyses on just about every one of them.
When he got into the late Buu saga, he must have hit a brick wall with Mystic Gohan. He listed Mystic Gohan's power level as about equal to Buu's (or somewhere around there, I obviously can't remember it). This, he exclaimed, was his base power! He was puzzled at this, because Gohan going Super Saiyan 2 (as he was capable of) would make him stronger than Vegito!! Of course, this would be using his incorrect calculations. He must have come to the conclusion that such a high power level would be using too much energy in one form or another, and that's why he didn't transform. The words he used probably sparked the rumor, for he said, rather flippantly, "I guess it would blow up the world or something." By the context, you could see that was a sarcastic remark, not meant to be taken seriously. Yet, lo and behold...
There you have it. I would really love to give you an address, but I've lost the site and haven't been able to find it for some time now. Perhaps someone on this board can help me find it.
The main page has a black background and a large image on top that shows various manga panels with characters wearing scouters. He had a hit counter that made a joke about starving African children (yes, I know it's tasteless). Under that, he also says it's incorrect. At the bottom was a transforming black-and-white sketch of Vegeta going Super Saiyan that will let you e-mail him if you click on it. To the left he has the sagas organized as such:
Saiyan/Freeza saga
Android/Cell saga
Buu saga
The lists themselves have a black background with the texts placed on mini-backgrounds of yellow, red, purple, or blue color. The mini-backgrounds change whenever he goes to a new "section" of the saga. The list breaks off VERY often to give way to his analyses.
It is also a relatively old site with it's last update being in 1999.
However, I've never heard the rumor of Fat Boo being stronger than Kid Boo, since their's tons of evidence to the contrary that if someone actuallly believed that here, they'd be set straight.
