- TriviaWhen Kripke pipes helium into Sheldon's office, he also pipes in oxygen from the green tank. As a scientist he is doing this to prevent a dangerously low level of oxygen but to still create the voice change of low-density gas exposure.

- Crazy creditsCHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #269 I have long believed that part of our problem with resolving race issues in America is our inability to accurately name what we are. Aside from the occasional Johnny and Edgar Winter, there are no white people. Any child with a box of crayons can tell you that white people are, in fact, beige. The sickly ones are gray. Following this crayon logic, one can easily see that there are really no black people. They are brown. Or perhaps raw umber. Or maybe burnt sienna. Frankly, every time I hear someone comment on America's first black president, I can't help thinking, "No, he's not. He's more like caramel." Which is why I think we should all get in the habit of calling each other what we really are. How can you racially slur a man by calling him "beigey" or "umber?" The answer is you can't. Because that's exactly what he is. The melanin doesn't lie. Buy a box of Crayolas and see for yourself. We are all members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Can I hear a kumbaya?

Featured review
Jokery!
Howard and Bernadette are ready for a third date, and apparently sex is in the offing. She gives Howard an ultimatum as to what he ultimately has in mind. He goes off, still thinking he will land a fashion model or a movie star, leaving her in the lurch for now. Sheldon, meanwhile, has the honor of appearing on NPR's "Science Friday." Kripke pumps helium gas into the studio, so as the interview goes on, his voice begins to heighten. Sheldon exacts "revenge" in a dramatic way. My question is whether there will be any consequences for what he did.
