Reading about space exploration on Wikipedia, as one does on a Saturday night.

Learned of the YORP effect (Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack). Though coined in 2000 apparently, I see no sign of it being a Keen reference. It might be, though...

Edit... looks like Levellass discovered this before... no harm in us being reminded again however!

In my math lecture, it told me to find the numbers matching the values for a, b, and c, and I put in 3, 1, 4! Therefore, Teaching Textbooks Algebra 2 is a Keen reference.
Put me in a room full of chlorine. Results: I die and turn into a pillar of salt and a very buggy Keen 6.

IMPOSSIBLE BULLET FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a restaurant in London called "314 Kitchen + Bar".

Which is all the more notable because less than one minute's walk away there is an alley called "Keen's Yard".
