*[[Wikipedia:Europa (moon)|Europa]] is one of [[Wikipedia:Jupiter (planet)|Jupiter]]'s moons, and the possibility of an Earth-like environment in its oceans has periodically led to [[Wikipedia:Europa (moon)#Exploration of Europa|plans for its exploration]].  It is the sixth-nearest moon to Jupiter.

*Château Prétende is (incorrect) [[French]] for "Pretend Manor", and is a play on the traditional practice of identifying wines by their estate of origin. (e.g. Château Margaux, Château Latour, etc.) Prétende is a first- and third-person subjunctive form of the French verb "prétendre", which means to claim or profess. The proper French is "faux manoir".

*According to [http://web.archive.org/web/20171018182448/http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/12/061211-sea-creatures_2.html a then-recent National Geographic article], the discovery of a deep-sea lobster in the Pacific Ocean has led scientists to believe that similar organisms may live on Europa.
+
*When Strong Bad shouts at the drive-thru whale about being isolated in the middle of the field, his voice echoes even though there is nothing else in the field for the sound of his voice to bounce off of.
-
*Europa-pean is a [[portmanteau]] of Europa and European.

*According to [http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/12/061211-sea-creatures_2.html this article from National Geographic] the recent discovery of a deep sea lobster in the Indian Ocean has led scientists to believe that similar organisms may live on Europa.
-
*The toy rocket returns with the alien lobster inside in just over two minutes. If it was traveling at the speed of light under ideal circumstances (with the two bodies being as close to each other as their orbits allow), the toy rocket would take about 33 minutes to arrive at Europa, and another 33 to return.

*[[Strong Bad's Rocket]] is an exact replica of an actual [[Wikipedia:Water rocket|rocket toy]] that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s. The pump would increase the air pressure in the rocket.  Releasing the lock in the base would allow the pressure to expel water from the bottom and cause the rocket to propel itself into the air.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi, ''Mike''.

-
'''MIKE:''' Hi, Stro Bro.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' It's time for the new comment-a-tickle!
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Comment-a-tickle! All right.  So, um... you got one of those water pressure rockets there.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that thing was a big letdown.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Look at this, oh here it goes!
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's what ''I'' thought.  And it was like{{--}} I mean, come on!
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I don't think you pumped it up enough.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' On the box!  You should have seen on the box.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:'''  I don't think you pumped it enough.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' There was{{--}} What?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Like, four pumps?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, man! Four... four pumps for one pressure. Each.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' PSIs?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. ''{watches the rocket launch}'' See, now that's what I'm talkin' about, man. ''{runs into the Drive-Thru Whale}'' So, uh, this, this was really unsettling, Mike.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' The... Drive-Thru Whale?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. What{{--}} Was it from some sort of seafood restaurant or something?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Uhh... That serves whale?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ewwww!  Maybe.  Maybe that'd be good.  Blubber sandwiches.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Blubb-O's maybe it'd be called. ''{pause}'' But later on, doesn't this guy show up in Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Land?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' He does!
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' So does that mean he's from that weird dimension?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' He might.  He, he ''sounds'' like he might be, b{{--}} by what he says.  He's kinda... He doesn't make very much sense.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Like everything about Sweet Cuppin' Cakes.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Right.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' This is a jammin' tune, though.
+
-
 
+
-
''{Mike and Strong Bad scat and beat-box along with the Drive-Thru Whale's song}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still to the tune of the Drive-Thru Whale's song}''  Grumblin' grumblin' down! Grumblin' grumblin' up!  Now I'm grumblin', I'm grumblin' it down!
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' What do you think the toy was?  You just said that the toy was brown.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' I think it was, like... it was a horse with a sh{{--}} milkshake on it. On its back.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' But it was all brown?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' It was ''all'' brown.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Painted brown one piece of molded plastic?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, they didn't paint it.  They didn't do two-tones.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' That sounds pretty good, though.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' A horse with a milkshake on its back?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat was not impressed.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' But it's a good series!  What do you think the other toys in that series were?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... well, there'd be the fish... with a duck ''{laughing}'' in its mouth.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Okay.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' French fries wearing a [[diaper]].
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Did that thing just go to space?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Ahh, I don't know what happened at the end, there.
