* CanadaEh: Blink and you miss it, but the show ''does'' admit it's set in Canada occasionally, most notably in one episode where Dan's mom is going to work in her Toronto PD uniform. That and they spend entire episodes at the Toronto Zoo & Royal Ontario Museum.

Renamed, cutting ZCEs, low-context potholes and non-examples.


* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Oddly enough for an educational show, the episode "Moody Dino" teaches something factually incorrect - that stegosauruses' plates could change color, HollywoodChameleon style. This was likely based on a now-discredited hypothesis that the plates contained blood vessels that could be used to flush blood into them for display or temperature control. We now know they were covered in a layer of keratin, making this impossible.
