When I was at ADOCH, they showed a video with a bunch of these references from TV shows and movies. That should be put on YouTube. It was pretty funny. I wish I knew who created it, or where to find a copy.

In the movie she goes to Northwestern but in the book she goes to Brown. I wonder why they changed it...
