Cromagnolin
Several tracks on Abuses feature the Cromagnolin, a hand-cranked pre-pleistocene device of wood, antler, and sinew which issues a quavering wail or moan approximately the vocalization of Cromagnon-era hominids. Paleontologist-musician Frondo Ediacar was responsible for designing and constructing the Cromagnolin which Feral Butler used to revert themselves to proto-hominids in the recording studio.

Strange Days
I liked "Strange Days" quite a lot. Conventional Hollywood tech-thriller fare, with violence and sex in abundance, but also with plenty of fresh tech ideas, a lavish visual style, and a downbeat remorse attitude which passes for conscience.

Russell's teapot
Russell's teapot is an analogy, formulated by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), to illustrate that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making unfalsifiable claims, rather than shifting the burden of disproof to others.
Russell specifically applied his analogy in the context of religion. He wrote that if he were to assert, without offering proof, that a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, he could not expect anyone to believe him solely because his assertion could not be proven wrong.
Russell's teapot is still invoked in discussions concerning the existence of God, and has had influence in various fields and media.
