** In "Meet the Press", Johannes Gutenberg is shown as an animal, and so is Jorge Selaron in "Stairway to Art Day". However, Antoni Gaudi, Louis Armstrong, and Nikola Tesla are all shown as humans in "Lost and Found", "More Than All That Jazz", and "Lights Out" respectively. This can make it confusing as to whether humans really existed or not.
