Another very subtle programming joke: Castor says "[O]f all the enumerable possibilities, he had to walk into mine". Enumerations are a programming concept often used to list the options that are available in a certain situation. This contrasts the concept of "innumerable possibilities", i.e. infinite possibilities, which are impossible for a program to fathom, because computers can only deal with a finite number of possibilities. This is also a reference to Casablanca (1942) and Humphrey Bogart's famous words : " Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine".
