Nope. I just thought it would be a funny deadpan answer. The running joke about saving the future from himself dates back to the "Shockwave II" blurb; my favourite use was in the haiku day update.

And the "40s man" just sounds like a punchline of some kind. Anyone?

I'm pretty sure that was a reference to where Daniels would take them next -- World War II.

I know I've heard that elsewhere. Can't remember where.

Entirely possible, but I don't remember a conscious reference there.
