| First Line | Where were you on the night of January 16th? |
| Notes | "The Night of January 16th" was a 1934 play written by Ayn Rand (adapted to film in 1941). This comic story has nothing to do with the play's plot, the date is not relevant, in fact there is no other reference to "January 16th" other than the splash panel, so this was probably an in-joke by the scripter. |
