* HilariousInHindsight: Some segments of the book (written in 2000) talk of how the election of a pope is treated as a "story" most people don't care about without many news cameras around. At one point, a reporter is seen before a green screen-effect shot of the Vatican to show how the modern world thinks the concept of the Pope isn't that important. Five years later, the election of Benedict XVI was an internationally watched event covered by every news station on the planet with massive discussion of its importance to the world.

** One scene depicts two geeks at CERN talking about the Illuminati, with one saying, "I thought it was just a game!", and replying after being told the Illuminati killed the Pope, "I wonder how many points you get for that!" While the book implies (inaccurately) that they are referring to ''TabletopGame/IlluminatiNewWorldOrder'', more recent readers could be thinking of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII''.
