Did You Know?

-The coordinates Lewis is providing (26''4' north latitude, 80'9' west latitude) are the real coordinates for Fort Lauderdale Airport

-When the Alphas humiliate the Tri-Lambdas by making them strip to their underwear, they are forced to chant "nam myoho renge kyo". This is a central mantra chanted throughout all forms of Nichiren Buddhism, in addition to Tendai Buddhism
