I don't understand "then challenged [by?] Lugo"; I can't find a reference to what or who Lugo is in the article. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 20:58, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lol, it's a very oblique in joke. This painting was on the main page at ITN, and the poster boy there is Fernando Lugo. "Challenged Lugo" is a way of saying it was on the MP and could have beaten Lugo's record of 10 days at ITN. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:49, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
