What's your Otaku Quotient? (Scenes like the Chalkboard in episode 1)

Remember all those bizarre references in the chalk board in epiosde 1? Negima is chock full of references to other shows. Some people get those references and some people don't. The people who get them have a much higher Otaku Quotient. This thread is a chance to prove your Otaku-ness by explaining those references to people who don't get it.

Some rules:
  1. Only discuss things that test your Otaku Quotent. And stick to discussing only things that happen in Negima?! This is not a thread to discuss random shows whose only relevancy is a line of text on a chalkboard.

  2. Don't just give huge lists from many episode. Generally most of the older references will have been mentioned already. Try to talk about what you saw in the latest episode unless someone asks about one of the older episodes.

  3. Read the thread before you ask about some references. Nobody expects you to read the whole thread once it gets over 10 pages, but at least read the last 2 pages to see what has already been mentioned from the most recent episode.

  4. Try not to spoil the episode. Many of these references have no relevancy to the rest of the episode, but if something could be a spoiler, please use a spoiler tag. It works like this:
    [spoiler=Episode 27]Just after Negi dies, you see a really cool message written on his forehead.[/spoiler]

    Spoiler for Episode 27:
