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 quote "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" from the Bible (Exodus 21:24).

• The Ultimate Cage Match line may be a reference to the movie "School of Rock", where No Vacancy, the band that Jack Black's character is kicked out of, plays a song that includes the lyrics: "I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover".
