I almost hope the girl playing Ann doesn’t speak English so she doesn’t hear all the mean things said about her. They’re hilarious, though. ---

I did notice in the episode where Michael dates the Ethics teacher a foreshadowing of the family’s future Saddam Hussein problem. He’s looking at the collage George Michael has made and in the various Hussein pictures he says, “That looks like our kitchen.” ---

> [@fiddlesticks](#): > > One of the previous knowing hints was that Lucille really wasn’t pregnant with Buster for 11 months. Presumably she hadn’t had sex with George for two months before Oscar knocked her up, thus she had to _really_ postdate the pregnancy. 🙂 Is there any way to tell which of a pair of identical twins is the father of a given child? ---

> [@Fiver](#): > > Is there any way to tell which of a pair of identical twins is the father of a given child? I don’t think so, assuming they both had “access” to the mother in the appropriate time-frame. Identical twins might not have perfectly identical DNA because of mutations, but I’d imagine it’d be tough to ferret that out. Wasn’t there a story in the news about this very thing a couple weeks ago? [Googles] [Yep, sure was:](http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,1361255,00.html) “it is possible for identical twins to have slightly different DNA because of genetic mutations while the embryos are duplicating in the mother’s womb at an early stage of pregnancy. But such differences are not detectable with the standard method of testing.” –Cliffy ---

> [@edwino](#): > > Does anyone know of a list of these little subtle jokes (besides these threads) for each episode? I got the season I DVDs two nights ago and I’m working my way through them. I’m sure I’m missing a ton of references on first viewing. Amongst the only things I’ve picked up is a quick glace of Henry Winkler doing the Fonz pose and a few others here or there. It is still hilariously funny and I’m going to watch them repeatedly, but I have a feeling I’m missing a lot as well.
