References

• A reference to the famous chaos theory concept known as "the butterfly effect", where small changes in variables can cause a great change in outcome (as in a butterfly flapping its wings affecting weather hundreds of miles away).
• The comment about Jeff Goldblum references the film Jurassic Park, where Jeff Goldblum plays scientist Ian Malcolm, who specializes in chaos theory.
• Using a chaos butterfly to defeat Tyrannosaurus Tex is a direct reference to A Sound of Thunder (1952) by Ray Bradbury, in which a time traveling hunter from the future accidentally steps on a butterfly while hunting a Tyrannosaurus rex and changes the future. A parody of A Sound of Thunder is used in an episode of The Simpsons, "Time and Punishment" (#109 - Treehouse of Horror V).
