Title: Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch

This is a play on Emeril's catch phrase, "Knock it up a notch!".

Kif: Oh dear. I feel the Holo-Shed might be broken again. Well, as long as we don't cross paths with Atilla the...

Attila, king of the Huns (c. 433-453) is more commonly know as Attila the Hun. He is called Etzel by the Germans and Ethele by the Hungarians.

Attila succeeded his uncle, at first sharing the throne with his brother Bleda, whom he put to death in 445. In 447 he advanced through Illyria and devastated the whole region between the Black and the Mediterranean seas. He defeated the Byzantine emperor Theodosius II; Historians of the period estimated the losses of the army of Attila at from 200,000 to 300,000 slain, a number now believed greatly exaggerated.

Attila devastated Aquileia, Milan, Padua, and other cities and advanced upon Rome. Rome was saved from destruction only by the mediation of Pope Leo I, who in a personal interview is said to have impressed the Hunnish king by the majesty of his presence. In 453 Attila prepared once more to invade Italy, but he died before the plan could be carried out.

Kif: And there's Professor Moriarty, Jack The Ripper, Evil Lincoln!

Professor Moriarty is a fictional character from the series of novels and stories written by Conan Arthur Doyle, published between 1887 and 1927. Moriarty was detective Sherlock Holmes's arch-enemy.

Jack the Ripper is the pseudonym of a murderer held to have been responsible for at least five unsolved murders that took place in the Whitechapel area of east London between August and November 1888. Among other widely publicized and gruesome crimes of the period, the "Ripper" case has become one of the most notorious in British criminal history: it has generated numerous theories as to the true identity of the Ripper, as well as many fictional versions of the story in novels and films.

The enormous public attention the case received highlighted the inability of the police to trace a suspect. "Jack the Ripper" was the name signed on various notes purporting to come from the murderer, and the police also received a package containing half a human kidney.
