In [[Chiaki J. Konaka|Konaka]]'s [[Scenario Experiments Lain]], a footnote says Hodgeson is named after [[Wikipedia:Charles Lutwidge Dodgson|Charles Dodgson]], and ''not'' [[Wikipedia:William Hope Hodgson|William Hope Hodgson]]. Though similarities between Dodgson and Professor Hodgeson may not be immediately apparent, closer inspection reveals that they had at least two things in common. First, they both believed in psychic powers such as extrasensory perception and telekinesis; Dodgson was a member of the [[Wikipedia:Society for Psychical Research|Society for Psychical Research]]. Second, they both liked to play with kids.
