- TriviaAs Judas was paid with 30 pieces of silver, Sheldon slaps down a tray with 30 pieces of silverware in front of Leonard.
- GoofsSheldon cites his and Leonard's Roommate Agreement in claiming dibs on being Leonard's guest to visit the Large Hadron Collider and they both tell Penny there were no girlfriend clauses (because neither expected to have one move in with them) when she asks about it. However, in the earlier The Vartabedian Conundrum (2008), Sheldon cites a girlfriend clause (involving refrigerator shelf space) when Stephanie Barnett (Sara Rue) stays at the apartment.
- Quotes
Penny: You actually put that in an agreement!
Leonard Hofstadter: Uh, yeah. We also put in what happens if one of us wins a MacArthur Grant, or if one of us gets superpowers, of if one of us is bitten by a zombie.
Sheldon Cooper: He can't kill me even if I turn.
Penny: Is there anything in there about if one of you gets a girlfriend?
Sheldon Cooper: No, that seemed a little far-fetched.
- Crazy creditsCHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #277 Belarus is a small, land-locked country next door to Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. According to Wikipedia, one of its major exports is cattle by-products. Which begs the question, what horrible shape are the cattle in, if all they're good for is felt hats and wallpaper paste? But Belarus does have a bustling TV production industry. One of their most recent hits is a sitcom about four nerdy scientists who live next door to a beautiful blonde waitress. The characters are named Sheldon, Leo, Hovard, Raj and Natasha, and the show is entitled, The Theorists. Each episode begins with a rapid-fire montage of images which takes us from the dawn of time to the present moment. Keeping with that theme, the montage is scored with what is probably the worst piece of recorded pop music since the dawn of time. And finally, each episode appears to be a Russian translation of a Big Bang Theory episode. When we brought this to the attention of the Warner Brothers legal department, we were told that it's next to impossible to sue for copyright infringement in Belarus because the TV production company that is ripping us off is owned and operated by the government of Belarus. Having no other recourse, I'm hoping that this vanity card will be read by the fine folks making The Theorists, and, wracked with guilt, they break down and send us some felt hats. The Kyrgyzstan version of Dharma & Greg already sent me some wallpaper paste.
