Trivia

One of mickey rooney's films he actually play a character called "the atomic kid" who gets exposed to radioactive material and gets powers from it. He's then recruited to break up some sort of spy ring. == (The binary soul 23:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)) It Should Have Been Bart[reply]

While watching this episode today I realize that Bart doesn't get the part of radioactive mans sidekick fallout boy because he is "and inch to short". The thing is ... Milhouse in almost every episode is drawn SHORTER than Bart. I'm outraged haha.

Prince

Does anyone have a reference for the claim that it's Prince that's portrayed in the middle square? I always assumed it was Little Richard, due to the fact that the character in question looks older.

Wolfcastle quote

Does Wolfcastle say "my eyes" or "mein eyes"? I thought it was the latter.

Doesn't the quote "My/Mein eyes! The goggles do nothing!" reference a Megaman movie?

Is this the episode where the phrase "The goggles, they do nothing!" comes from?

Does anyone else feel that it would be appropriate to mention how Wolfcastle's Goggles quote became an internet meme? I think it should be mentioned in a trivia or popular culture section. What do you guys think? --StevenFurtado 22:24, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say it's by some measure the most notable aspect of this episode, and its most lasting contribution to popular culture. (Even the 'Goggles' page mentions it!) Definitely add it. Terraxos 16:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

alex cox reference
