*It is possible, with an iPhone or an iPad, to speed up the time on the countdown. However, the closest year a person is able to reach is 2038 and the countdown only loses a few thousand hours.
*[[Yuri Lowenthal]], voice of [[Kamal Zaman]], is also the voice of the Prince in the [[wikipedia:Prince of Persia|Prince of Persia]] series, and Sasuke in the Naruto series. A piece of Kamal's dialog, "People think time is a river that flows in one direction, but time is an ocean." seems to be a deliberate reference to the Prince's "Some say time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction, but I have seen the face of time and I can tell you they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm."

It was finally sold for a price close to $40.
