References
- A "Levitating Potato" is very similar to the hovering potato which Bender has to peel blindfolded, in the episode entitled "30% Iron Chef" of the animated television series Futurama.
- The second line of the haiku references the song "Hovering Sombrero" by They Might Be Giants. (Note that this familiar predates the introduction of the Hovering Sombrero familiar.)
- The first line of the haiku references the Bible's "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" form of retributive justice (from Exodus 21:24), purportedly written by He whom Richard Dawkins calls "the most vindictive character in all fiction"; concerning which Mahatma Gandhi remarked that: "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and the whole world would soon be blind and toothless."
