* [http://www.masterpaynemagic.com/ Master Payne] is a real person, who has several personas and performs amusing magic tricks.
* Between the whole story is ''full'' of [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|modified]] [[Historical Domain Character|historical domain characters]] and [[Allohistorical Allusion]], others include:
** Van Rijn, master Spark, artisan, the creator of the Muses. The full name of the famous painter Rembrandt was "Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn".
** The circus cook, when his calming pie works - magnificently - on Agatha, exclaims, "Take ''that'', Brillat-Savarin!" Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826) was a famous French expert on high-quality eating.
<!--Everything above this line should be properly troped and, in the event it is not a proper trivia entry, moved to the appropiate page.-->
* [[Bleached Underpants]]: A variant
** Much of ''Girl Genius'' is made up of brilliant little ideas that Foglio didn't use in his pornographic work. The Jägers' speech pattern and dental work? From ''XXXenophile'': "A Beautiful Tail" and "My Favorite Oitling". Zeetha's jewelry, with the little faces that mimic whatever her current facial expression is? From ''XXXenophile'': "Blue Opal".<!--Perhaps this info could be split off/duplicated elsewhere if it hasn't already?-->
* [[Fan Nickname]]: "The Sneaky Gate," loading a comic page by its date-determined URL, often several updates before its official release. Despite most webcartoonists' less-than-positive attitude toward this trick, often openly referenced on fan communities - although this is invariable from the copy on studiofoglio.net, not the main page.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Loads of them, listed on [[Girl Genius/Shout-Out|its sub-page.]]
* [[Throw It In]]
** When Phil was drawing the scene which first introduced the Baron, he filled an "empty" spot with a rather scruffy-looking soldier. As soon as
** Maxim of the Jägers was originally a silly little drawing for Kaja, who promptly informed him that he WOULD appear in the comic.

[[All There in the Manual|The Foglios have thoughtfully provided quite a lot of background and detail for fans of the series.
Here is the basic information (also available on the Girl Genius Wiki):
Line 280 ⟶ 232:
** '''The Spark'''—whatever it is that makes Mad Scientists what they are. A poorly understood concept that identifies and incorporates a batch of personality traits shared by those who have it. Also referred to as the Gift, the Touch, the Curse, the Madness, the Doom, &c. Also referred to as his or her Spark, in this case a personal quality. Also used as another term for a Mad Scientist—you would say that someone is a Spark if they have the Spark.
