"Tendenko" is a phrase from the Sanriku Coast region. It teaches that in the event of a tsunami, to immediately go to higher ground, instead of trying to save other people or things. This is credited with saving lives during the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami since everyone was focusing on getting to higher ground.[5]
"Grand Owl Habitat" likely refers to an assemblage by the surrealist Joseph Cornell. It was later released on an LP of the same name.

gollark: ... should I create a bug report?
gollark: It returns two, actually. The second one. I don't know *what* the first one is doing.
gollark: Is this some weird implementation thing or is Lua actually defined/specified to work like this?!
gollark: Apparently `function(...) return (fn(...)) end` behaves differently to `function(...) return fn(...) end`. WHAT IS HAPPENING.
gollark: It doesn't look like it, though, as the code really only does much if an error occurs.
