Church of the SubGenius: American parody religion that targets established faiths. It teaches a complex belief system that focuses on J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, purportedly a salesman from the 1950s, who is revered as a prophet by the Church. SubGenius leaders have developed detailed narratives about Dobbs, which are described by commentators as fictional, and his relationship to various gods and conspiracies. Their central deity, Jehovah 1, is accompanied by other gods drawn from ancient mythology and popular fiction.

Gyromitra caroliniana: Known commonly as the Carolina false morel or big red, is an ascomycete fungus of the genus Gyromitra, within the Pezizales group of fungi. It is found in hardwood forests of the southeastern United States, where it fruits in early spring soon after snowmelt. Although it is collected and eaten by some, there is some suggestion it may contain the toxic compound gyromitrin like its poisonous relative, the false morel G. esculenta, and for this reason it is usually not recommended for consumption.

Japanese battleship Mikasa: A pre-dreadnought battleship built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the late 1890s, the only ship in her class. As Japan lacked the industrial capacity to build such warships herself, the ship was designed and built in the United Kingdom.

She was only hit by two shells in the first battle, but was hit many more times in the latter two battles. Despite the number of hits, the ship was not seriously damaged in any of her engagements.
