==Timeline headaches==
Upchuck starting up "a dotcom" places this before the dot-com bubble burst, and written it would've been meant as a joke on how easy it was to set up a profitable dotcom ("''you've'' started a dotcom?" remarks Daria). Unfortunately, once the episode aired the bubble had burst months ago. The first stories about it being a bubble came out [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotcom_bubble#The_bubble_bursts in spring 2000], and Daria would've mentioned this to burst Upchuck's bubble (ho ho) if she'd been aware of such stories. This episode is unlikely to be taking place too early in the year (if you assume this occurs in 2000).
==Trivia==
* The Wizard Foundation, as a stereotypical "evil corporation" fronted by a racist, sexist "redneck billionaire", brings to mind [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Perot H. Ross Perot's] software and services firm, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Data_Systems Electronic Data Systems], notorious for its authoritarian corporate culture when Perot ran it.
* [[The Head (backgrounder)|The Head]] appears at the competition ''in two seperate places at the same time''
* Danada is an allusion to the Spanish expression ''de nada'' ("it was nothing"). So, his name and title could be translated as "Doctor of nothing."
