I haven't heard of this "Who Was Phone" one before. I see your point. There's a badge called "You Were Phone...." (awarded for leaving a message on someone else's talk page) which I assume is named after "WHO WAS PHONE?" but I could be mistaken. I know nobody accused me of saying this, but just for the record I know that not every badge is named after a specific pasta. Also, now that I've looked over my badges again, I know that some badge names could just be a coincidence. I say that because I have a story called "The Houseguest" and there happens to be a badge called "Houseguest" (awarded for making five edits on articles). I don't recall that I named my story after the badge, but if I did then it was only because I thought it would be an appropriate name. I guess the takeaway is that badges can be named after classic pastas, but they aren't always.

From time to time I hear about someone who doesn't need to sleep because of some sort of rare brain condition, but people like that still need to rest their minds and bodies because otherwise they'll suffer a breakdown.
