Line 54:

** And vice-versa: he won't eat their diet...

* ~Everybody's Dead Dave~: Not only with Mau being the last survivor of the Nation, but with Daphne, too. And Europe (and America, it is hinted at) is being ravaged by the "Russian influenza."

* [[Everything's Even Worse With Sharks]]: Mau confronts one while trying to raise the god anchors; Cox {{spoiler|is eaten by}} several of them later on.

* [[Far Side Island]]: Referenced.

* [[Flat Earth Atheist]]: After the wave, Mau steadfastly refuses to believe in the gods...even as the ghosts of the Grandfathers shout in his ear. Even as he ''talks to Locaha, the God of Death''. In the end, it is said that he believes "Imo made us smart enough to realize he didn't exist."

* [[Witch Doctor]]: Mrs. Gurgle

* [[~~Womens~~ Mysteries]]: Which include the secret of beer, which is for when a woman has had "too much husband" (needs to get him out of her hair for a while). This causes problems for Mau when the Grandfathers demand their beer.

* [[Women's Mysteries]]: Which include the secret of beer, which is for when a woman has had "too much husband" (needs to get him out of her hair for a while). This causes problems for Mau when the Grandfathers demand their beer.

* [[Writer On Board]]: A little bit of this towards the end, when the whole "Science vs. Religion" debate that's been going on in the background of the story is subtly but definitely tipped towards "science".

** Of course, there is still a god of death, and there are ghosts, so it could be debated.
