*It is possible that if a Monitor of an installation is destroyed, all Sentinels under its control will attack any beings on the ring. This theory is supported by the fact that after 343 Guilty Spark's destruction, all local Sentinels on Installation 04 (II) began to attack the Master Chief and the Arbiter. It is possible, however, that in his rampancy, the Monitor added the two to the Sentinels' targeting ledgers.

*Guilty Spark's name is similar to [[Penitent Tangent]]; both Penitent and Guilty have very similar meanings:
**Guilt (Guilty) - remorse or self-reproach caused by feeling that one has done something wrong.<ref>http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/guilt</ref>
**Penitent - Feeling or expressing remorse for one's misdeeds or sins.<ref>http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/penitent</ref>
*An alternative to the theory that the [[Spartan Laser]] simply deals so much damage that it can destroy a Monitor is that a Monitor's shields do not protect against light, which means that light-based weaponry, such as the Spartan Laser, could easily damage a Monitor. However, if the shields blocked light, Monitors would have no way of seeing; the theory is further contradicted by the ability of the [[Rocket Launcher]] and the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] to damage Spark's casing, albeit less efficiently. However, the Rocket Launcher and Fuel Rod Gun can only damage the Monitor after its casing and shielding has already been damaged by a Spartan Laser blast.

**Another alternative to this theory is that Monitors can only be damaged by radiation; Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, and the Fuel Rod Gun uses radioactive Fuel Rods for ammo. If that was the case, however, the Rocket Launcher would be unable to damage 343 Guilty Spark.

*In the multiplayer map [[Cold Storage]], [[Cold Storage Monitor|a large Monitor]] can be seen embedded in the ceiling which follows your movements, as long as you are in the same room as it. It appears to be attached to a monorail, though it never uses it.

*On [[Halo 3 Legendary Edition]], [[Martin O'Donnell]], [[Jason Jones]] and [[Joseph Staten]] jokingly referred to Monitor [[7]] as ''"7 Broken [[Wikipedia:iPod|iPod]]"'' and 49 as ''"49 Fucking Lightbulb"''.{{fact}} <!-- Talk Page says it might be in H3 Legendary Edition DVD. -->

*On Co-Op, in the boss battle with 343 Guilty Spark on the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level, [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]], if the player playing as Master Chief were to jump of the cliff and commit suicide, then Spark would watch the player fall, and keep watching the bottom, thus allowing the second player to easily kill him without a threat. This could be due to an AI flaw (in which the NPC only expects to fight a single opponent), though a canonical explanation could be insanity due to rampancy.
