Alot of references pop up in the Dresdenverse (mostly by Harry) such as Star Wars. It got me wondering, what other references does Jim Butcher use?

p.s. I finally started Ghost Story and read a line on pg. 58 in which Harry says, "There is no spoon". I'm pretty sure this is a reference to something as it sounds reaally familiar. I can't remember where I heard it and it's bugging me. Does anybody know where that line is from?

I think it's from the Matrix where Neo meets the old woman and there are all those kids in her parlor bending spoons with their minds.

Jim uses a lot of references, in his short story 'Day Off' he mentioned the Harry Potter movie, the Dark Mark, Slytheryn house and so forth. I doubt Jim remembers even half of all those references he's made.
