There is a physical "Land of the Dead" in Ooo which is where the souls of living creatures go after they die. This may be different from the 50 "dead worlds".

Most male royalty with presumably humanoid origins have had a magical artifact of some kind. While the Ice King's (formerly Simon Petrikov) crown is the most well-known, it was also given to him by a person in a stereotypically cold area. However, note that such mind-bending items have been in existence for quite some time, if the words of Hunson Abadeer are true (notably, the necklace he has might be an indication that such magical items have their own wills and goals, and use their hosts as a sort of interface to interact with the universe). Also of note are the Fight and Thief Kings, one of which was immortal and had a magical sword, while the other was capible of some sort of magic but died a mortal death. The exact status of the Flame King is unknown, but if his daughter is any indication, humanoid traits coming from lines created by former humans might not be a chance occurance. Presumably, the former Candy/Cloud/Water/Etc. kingdom rulers were also bearers of an elemental artifact.

The Lich (King) is a interesting occurrence because there is no direct evidence that he has a magical artifact of any sort (with his crown being of little importance, and no visable magical rings or such taking up any space on his body). That, combined with his sheer size and body shape (resembling the Ice King's bulky look with his robe on) makes some speculate that he was never bonded to a artifact at all, or he is the result of a artifact completely merging with its wielder.

* Marceline is rebuilding old relationships. As we see she is reconnecting with Simon. Even though as the Ice King he can't remember how their friendship started, and he is a shell of what he was, Marcy is still reconnecting to her father figure. In 'Simon And Marcy' she has even admitted she loves him. A far cry from her avoiding him as much as possible. And 'Sky Witch' shows evidence that she is attempting to restore her relationship with Princess Bubblegum. She brings Bubblegum with her on her quest to retrieve her most prized possesion. Although this may have been influenced by Bubblegum's usefulness in the situation, she still has stopped avoiding her completely. Near the end of the season, Marceline briefly reunites with Simon and her sacrifice of Hambo is what gives Simon the chance to repair his relationship with Betty...or more precisely, it's what gives Betty the chance to repair her relationship with Simon.

** He then says Finn has "the cunning of Odysseus" the mythical Greek hero[[note]]Sometimes referred to as "Odysseus the Cunning"[[/note]] of the "Illiad" and the "Odyssey".

** Also in the flashbacks in "Simon and Marcy" the licence plate on the Clambulance said [[. Also one of the licence plates on a car in Simon and Marcy said the "wut wut state" in a plate that appears to be a californian one, also on the 101. the "wut wut state"]] in a plate that appears to be a [[http://www.plateshack.com/y2k/California2/ca2010blue.jpg Californian one]], it's also on the 101 Freeway.

** In the flashbacks to Marceline's early travels in Ooo[[note]]After Simon left, but a few years before she became a vampire[[/note]] [[http://imgur.com/a/lxeHr all of the signs around her are in English]].

** Early on, the main disability of the golem was its inability to speak as stated in the Talmud. In "Thank You" we see that the golem is indeed incapable of true speech[[note]] but can babble and mumble[[/note]].

** Ganesha is popularly worshipped as a remover of obstacles, though traditionally he also places obstacles in the path of those who need to be checked. His association as the "Lord of Obstacles"[[note]]Some say this was the purpose of his creation[[/note]] relates to the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant in a couple of ways. First, Finn and Jake must overcome a labyrinth of obstacles and trials to wish for the A.P.T.W.E from the land eel Aquandrius in "The Limit". He also puts an obstacle in Maja's way (a coma) in "Something Big" but gives her a second chance by deciding to care for her once the episode is over, and even begins removing that obstacle by allowing her to see through his eyes. Second, he becomes vital to removing Darren out of the way to defeat Maja and protect the Candy Kingdom.

* The Ice King's "Snow Golems" come from Jewish folklore in which golems are animated anthropomorphic beings, magically created entirely from inanimate matter.
