Episode Title

Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [1]

Ships in the Graveyard

I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?

There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)

There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3

Blonde guy?

Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.

Allusions

"Möbius Dick is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean? and the title of a 2000 science-fiction novel by Andrew Crumey."

Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- DeepSpaceHomer 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want

  • I am a bird
  • I am a person

This is what I want

  • I am a bird and a person

Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --Icyweaner2999 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- DeepSpaceHomer 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--Icyweaner2999 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)
