That could take awhile. killerbunnies.com/?p=1931Follow that link. It's not even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the references, but it's a start! Here's one from me, though: the Celebrity Bunny named Six (with the blond hair and red dress) is a reference to a cylon character from the show Battlestar Galactica.

If you are just beginning, there aren't as many references in the early decks as there are in the later decks. Another reference is here.

You know it might not be a bad idea to make an encyclopedia of card references. I get a lot of references but most of them I sit there and wonder "Where is THIS from?"
Does this website have any affiliation with the killer bunnies wiki? We could add the references to the card pages.

Does this website have any affiliation with the killer bunnies wiki? We could add the references to the card pages. Does there need to be more than a loose association? Somebody else started the wiki, but it is there for anybody to add to. Many of the cards already have trivia, which include the card references. Check out: Run AmokTyboTuckerAdd your own trivia there and we'll keep building up a great wiki for KB.

If you're working on an encyclopedia, maybe list the ones you can't figure out rather than all of them? There are only about 6 of the 24 that are sci-fi references
