• The 150^th issue was on August 28, 2008.
• Issue 100 was released on September 13, 2007.
• Sensei gave a tour in Issue 181.
• The Club Penguin Times is often themed around events which are currently underway in Club Penguin.
• The 200^th issue came out on August 13^th, 2009.
• Starting in the 200th issue, the next pin was unknown. It was replaced with a question mark.
• In Issue #215, Card Jitsu Fire was the main story.
• In Issue #205, there was a mistake saying that new igloo music would be released on September 21. In Issue #206, it said that the new music will be released on September 25.
• Issue #226 was delayed upon its release due to a bug.
• In Issue #233, Rookie took over Aunt Arctic's Place in the "Ask Aunt Arctic" section.
• In Issue #233, the Yeti penguin is thought to be Herbert, probably because of his eyes and the fact that he is asking for warm places. This IS true BECAUSE he keeps saying things like "This wall looks like it was broken recently, maybe by a drill?" and a few other mission- related things.
• In Issue #233, Sensei has his own "Upcoming Events" Section. It was about his schedule, including how he watches for signs from nature about the next Card-Jitsu Element. This may mean that we will have a new element soon.
• In Issue #235, It is said that there is a new room during and after Earth Day 2010. This new room was proven to be the Recycling Plant.
• Sometimes, if you mouse over the word "Jokes", Extra jokes would pop up. This is a hidden secret, just like Aunt Arctic's hidden sunglasses. Many penguins do not know about this.
• In the edition released 6 May, there was a hidden message within from Herbert.
• Issue #240 came out a day early.
• The 250th edition of the Club Penguin Times was released on July 29, 2010.
• Issue #248 has a picture of a penguin upside down riding a surfboard while underneath it, it says: "July 26. It all starts.". It is now known that the Stamps were introduced this day.
• Issues #248 and #249 were released on a Wednesday.
• When Issue #249 was released, many penguins lost their connection making full servers almost empty.
• When Issue #250 was released, there was reference to the first Secret missions.
• The Penguin Times was black and white before December 2005.
• Oddly, Issue #254 didn't have in focus.
