 *Insisting that Jebediah Springfield's confession was a forgery, Hurlbut compared it to two historical frauds:
 **Aviator and business magnate [[Howard Hughes]]'s will. Approximately three weeks after the death of Hughes, a handwritten will was found on the desk of an official in a {{W|Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints}} in [[Utah]]. The so-called "Mormon Will" gave $1.56 billion to various charitable organizations but was later ruled a forgery.

-*Executives from the American chain of fast-food restaurants {{W|Long John Silver's}} get offended when they find out that Jebediah Springfield was a pirate.
