Remember when we asked you to pick out the pop-culture references in Walter’s Lab Notes from “The Arrival?”

(See the Lab Notes here)

And while the writers had thought they had used nine, they forgot one.  So now there are 10 references:

1.    “All around the mulberry bush” — from an English nursery rhyme
2.    “Thank you sir, may I have another” — from the 1978 film Animal House
3.    “It’s a fair wind that bloweth no man any ill” — a take on an old proverb by English writer John Heywood: “An ill winde that bloweth no man to good.”
4.    “The walls, the walls, push [move] back the walls” — from Joseph Heller’s 1961 novel Catch-22
5.    Sioux City Sarsaparilla — a root-beer-like soft drink, made famous in the 1998 film The Big Lebowski
6.    The Fisher King –  a mythological figure who guarded the Holy Grail; also, the title of a 1991 Terry Gilliam film
7.    “A tisket a tasket” –  from an English nursery rhyme
8.    “Back to where I [you] once belonged” — from the Beatle’s 1969 song “Get Back”
9.    “Kenneth, what’s the frequency?” — a question posed to Dan Rather by a deranged man in 1986; also, a 1994 song by REM
10.   “Turn the page” — a reference to the 1973 Bob Seger song

Big props to Pam who not only found most of them but even spotted some more references!

If you haven’t noticed, we’ve been adding Walter Bishop’s Lab Notes with every episode on the Fringe site. (You can find all of them in the Recaps for each episode too.)

In the Lab Notes for “The Arrival,” there are at least nine cultural references. Do you think you can name them all?

We’ll give you a few days before we post the nine answers. And maybe you’ll find more than we knew. Get to it!

UPDATE: Here are the answers!

Pass the time by testing you knowledge of FRINGE!

2.  What did Olivia say the tank in the dumpster smelled like?

3.  What is the cow’s name?

4.  What is the name of Walter Bishop’s former lab partner?

5.  What crazy line does Walter Bishop exclaim “Let’s make some ________!”

7. What was Loraine Daisy craving in the opening scene of episode 2?

8. What gland would the killer remove from his victim’s brain and why?

9. Walter remembers where he parked his car and he and Peter go to find it. What kind of car is it?

10. What image was burned into the killer’s last victim’s retina?

I’ll post answers tomorrow.
