Easter Eggs

I've found two Easter Eggs in HL2 so far:
1. Dr. Kleiner's pet headcrab is named Heady Lamar. Headly Lamar was the villain in the movie Blazing Saddles, one of the jokes in the movie is that he is constantly being called "Heady" instead of "Headly."

2. Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back reference. At one point while you've got a squad following you inside a building you come across a hole in the floor; one of your squad members comments "yeah, that'll do nicely" which is what Han Solo says about the cave in the asteroid field in ESB.

Anybody find any other Easter Eggs?

That's because Hedy Lamarr was an actress. Crab's probably named after her.

That's funny. I'm sure if she were alive today she'd appreciate having a headcrab named after her.

I forgot all about her... and I'd like it better if it was a Blazing Saddles reference
