The reference to "everybody's nose" in the title track echoes the "everybody's nose" lyric in the 1973 hit song "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" by Jim Croce.

gollark: Oh yeah, copy in a known-good reactor constantly.
gollark: Powered by a single electrolytic separator!
gollark: With enough, I don't know, formation planes and an internal ME network, or turtles or something, self-repairing repeatedly-meltdowning reactors could become the power source of the future.
gollark: Oh, cool unrelated thing, my double-fusion system in a compact machine, recently upgraded to 3.
gollark: Think about it! If your reactor is *designed* to constantly meltdown, you won't have to worry when it happens!
