 * Adaptation Displacement: Did you notice the book hasn't been mentioned above?
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The movie is quite popular in Kazakhstan.
 * Memetic Mutation: The phrase "perfect storm" has entered the public lexicon for any situation (good or bad) where several unexpected factors all combine to produce a large result.
 * Retroactive Recognition: Hey, isn't that President Allison Taylor and Ethan Kanin on the sailboat?
