* Mr. Simmons' class is getting popular; now there are 16 students in the class, and all of the fourth-grade "regulars" except Park and Billy are there
* Phoebe's house address number is 931 - and the house is in desparate need of a new paint job
* Phoebe sleeps on what appears to be a futon (well, she doesn't actually sleep on it until "Phoebe Cheats")
* Helga dreamed that monkeynucleosis turned her into a monkey, and the pictures Mr. Simmons showed had someone suffering a similar fate, but nowhere did it specifically say that the disease turned people into monkeys, just that they "expired"
* Helga gives Nadine what appears to be a tuba; in the Claymation short "The Arnold Waltz", Helga plays a Sousaphone
* Okay, I haven't read an "Archie" comic in about 20 years, but in my day, Jughead wasn't interested in girls (Veronica, Betty, Big Ethel, or otherwise)

* Did somebody say "urban legends"? Check out www.urbanlegends.com and www.snopes.com
* Helga's right; the dinosaurs all died out long before the Roman Empire began
* No points for guessing where Helga got a boat named "OLGA I" from...
* Layout designer Caesar Martinez was credited as "Big Caesar Martinez" - and there's a good reason for this, according to Dan Povenmire; the fish is, in fact, a caricature of Caesar Martinez (or at least as much of a caricature as you can get and still have it looking like a fish)
* Tuck Tucker had nothing to do with this episode? He played a big part in animating an episode of The Simpsons where Homer goes after a giant catfish (at least that's what one of the show's writers says on the Simpsons DVD where it appears - for those of you who are interested, it's the second season episode "The War of the Simpsons")
