* [[Did Not Do the Research]]:
** In [[Supernatural (Anime)/Recap/S05/E06 I Believe the Children Are Our Future|I Believe the Children Are Our Future]], Castiel says that [[The Bible]] is wrong about [[The Antichrist]] being Lucifer's son. Yeah, except the Bible doesn't actually say that. [[Word of Dante|It's just popularly thought to]].
** This stands out in light of the show getting lesser known parts of [[The Bible]] right, like the star Wormwood.
** It's "Revelation," singular, not "Revelations."
** Sioux Falls, South Dakota may not be a metropolis, but at about 150,000 people, it certainly isn't a "podunk town" where everyone would know Bobby as "the town drunk" either.
*** On a related note, Richardson, Texas is ''nothing'' like that. The Collin County library system consists of a few dozen branches, not one building. And "a few hours out" could mean "the Mexican border", Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, etc. Which you'd think they'd get right, because [[Jensen Ackles]] is actually ''from'' Richardson.
** It's been said in real life that [[Archangel Michael|Michael]] is supposed to be a fanboy of the human race and love them wholeheartedly, but it seems the writers made him part of the morally ambigious archangel crew and gave that role to [[Archangel Gabriel|Gabriel]].
** The exorcisms seem to be [[Shown Their Work|real Latin prayers]]. In the early episodes, they tend to finish with ''"Gloria Patri!"''...which in actual Latin prayer books is just shorthand for the [[wikipedia:Glory Be to the Father|standard doxology]] "Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen." It's a pain to write out every time, and not doing so saves a lot of space, but you ''are'' supposed to say the whole thing...
*** This hymn is in use since at least the 6th century and has Greek and Syrian forms of equivalent age to the Latin one. It is also in use by the Anglican and Lutheran Churches and some of their off-shoots. And you are supposed to say the whole thing to get its meaning: "Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, both now and always, and to the ages of ages. Amen." It is more or less a statement of belief in Trinitarianism.
** In the [[Supernatural (Anime)/Recap/S03/E05 Bedtime Stories|fairy tales episode]], the Wolf-stand in that eats the old woman has a Wile E. Coyote tatoo. The producers must have forgot that Ralph Wolf of the Sam Sheepdog cartoons is a Wile E. Coyote lookalike with a red nose which is ironic since the Warner Bros owns both these properties.
** Changeling children supposedly kill their unsuspecting foster mothers by draining them of synovial fluid. The writers probably meant to say ''cerebrospinal'' fluid, as a loss of synovial (joint) fluid would cause arthritis, not death.
** [[H.P. Lovecraft]] opened a portal to another dimension just to see what was there, after writing all his stories about [[These Are Things Man Is Not Meant To Know|how man is better off]] [[Ignorance Is Bliss|ignorant.]]
*** He was also a staunch materialist who had no patience for anything not strictly scientific. Either way, it doesn't add up.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** Joe Dawson is a Anthropology professor in Bugs.
