Allusions

 * Lizzie Borden is an infamous murder suspect, who was accused and put on trial for the murder of her parents, Abby and Andrew Borden on August 4th, 1892. She was acquitted of their murder, but through the course of her celebrity status, a memorable rhyme was authored making light of Borden's actions.

"Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one"


 * Daedalus is a figure of Greek mythology and the father of Icarus. Daedalus crafted a set of wax wings, which Icarus used to escape from Crete. The story states that Icarus flew too close to the sun, and the heat melted the wax, sending him plummeting to his doom. Dumb-ass.


 * Pete Lattimer makes reference to Mickey Rourke in this episode. Rourke has worked as both a professional boxer as well as a movie actor, known for films such as Iron Man 2 in 2010.

Bloopers

 * The Lizzie Borden rhyme is mis-spoken in this episode. In the original rhyme the placement of "mother and "father" are reversed.
