Err...Ima Genius..."I'm a Genius." Probably nothing to do with Atari 2600.

Is it just me, or is

Seconds later, Nuklear Man was tossed onto the Danger: Couch. He was encased in chains, rope, decorative wrapping paper with a large festive bow, and a note saying "Do Not Open Until X-Mas."

a reference to an old Garfield joke? Nuklear Age isn't the first place I've seen it.

Heh, I saw that movie, but I never got the reference. A little obscure for stupid old me...

If there ever was an underappreciated movie, it is "Pi."

Speaking of H2G2 referances, Dr. Genius mentions testing animals to make sure they are animals and not advanced beings using humans as slave labor. That made me think of the Mice.

Also, Douglas Adams did a very understandable explanation of S(random squiggles)'s cat in Dirk Gently's Hollistic Detective Agency, so further Douglas Adams referencing.

Well, one Thanksgiving, my friends and I were trying to decide what movie to rent, and decided to get one with food in the title (as per the Thanksgiving idiom). Pi was one I picked out, but it didn't take.

I know some jokes used in Nuklear Age were also jokes used in 8-Bit Theater... like some of Nuke's ramblings being similar to some of BM's ramblings. Particularly odd statements like "the three veils of negative existence", which is one I've been curious about for some time.

Also, the Silo of Solitude is of course a reference to Superman's Fortress of Solitude. And Wayne Hall? As in Bruce Wayne? I think that's a coincidence, but I'm just throwin' thoughts out there.

Actually it would be 'Some of the jokes in 8-Bit were used in Nuklear Age.' Keep in mind that Nuklear Age was made before 8-Bit.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting any order or precedence with my comment... just that there were similarities in the jokes used between the book and the comic. Of course I know the site was started in the first place because of the book.

Ok, yeah sorry, very tired, now I understand what you mean. Arel and BM does have somethings in common, most commonly, killing things, which is what your getting at. Arels and BM's plans are slightly identical.

Also, in the Hebrew language, "El" means god. Arel? Nihel? Variel? Et cetera? May be more of a name gimmick than an actual Easter egg, but it's worth bringing up.
