I was even more impressed when the Faraday constant showed up in a
recent episode of The Simpsons.  I wonder what proportion of the
viewers knew what that was.

I once saw a movie that mentioned the ITS computer operating system.
(Sorry, I don't remember the title.  It was at least a decade ago.)
I'd bet even fewer of its viewers knew that that was.  I believe there
have only been four computers that have ever run that OS, and none
since the '80s.

Everyone:  What's the most obscure reference you've ever gotten in
a movie, TV show (not counting game shows), comic strip, or other
popular fictional medium?
