  • Comic Book Guy wears a Star Trek uniform when giving a speech at the gazebo. He tells the people that breeding will only be permitted once every seven years, as inspired by the Vulcans. Comic Book Guy then sings "I Am Smart" to the opening theme of Star Trek.
  • Homer mistakes Stephen Hawking for Larry Flynt, the founder of Hustler, who has been confined to a wheelchair since an assassination attempt.
  • Hawking mentions his "failure to formulate a unified field theory".
  • Stephen Hawking finds Homer's idea of a doughnut-shaped universe intriguing. Actually, there exists a cosmological model proposing that the shape of the universe is a 3-torus (doughnut-shaped universe model).

Trivia[edit]

Continuity[edit]

  • This is the second time Bart rides an animal naked, the first being "And Maggie Makes Three", as seen in a photo album.

Goofs[edit]

  • The "learned council" says that it would be better if dogs at the dog track chased a diploma instead of a rabbit. Dogs are motivated by a sense of smell, not sight. Most dogs pay no attention to an artificial rabbit. They have to be trained to do so through a conditioned response. Dog owners often train dogs to chase an electric rabbit by attaching kitten or rabbit meat to it and convincing the dog to tear it to shreds. This has been one of the biggest factors of animal abuse in the United States.
  • When Marge copied something that was on the screen of Stephen Hawking's machine, Stephen Hawking said, "You copied that off my screen". But he was talking when something else was still on his screen.
  • When Homer looks through the dictionary he turns a lot of pages, yet only makes it to letter B. He then doesn't turn much pages and ends up on P. He turns back a few pages and is back on B.
  • In the dog track scene, Mayor Quimby can be seen in the stands, even though he earlier fled Springfield thinking MENSA had heard of his corruption.
