Trivia
The 'little crush' that Menelaus had on Helen of Troy was enough to launch the Trojan War when Paris of Troy stole her away.

Goofs
During the lunchroom scene with Leonard and Sheldon, Sheldon shakes salt and pepper condiments on his food, however the shakers are grinders and do not shake the product on the food, but are supposed to be tipped upside down and twisting the tip to grind the minerals onto his food.

Quotes
Penny: [scares the hell out of Sheldon after touching him in the back] Do you have a second?
Sheldon: A second what? Pair of underwear?

Crazy credits
CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #212 I believe that the voices of fear, both from without and within, can only be dispelled by trusting the voice that comes from the heart. Be still and listen to it. If it speaks of love and compassion for others, for the world itself, it just might be the voice of God -- or a reasonable facsimile. If, however, it snarls with fear of the unknown, fear of losing what you have or of not getting what you want, then it just might be the voice of Rupert Murdoch -- or a reasonable facsimile.

That S, hroedinger Is Really Some Cat!

Penny is having some problems with the men she dates. When Leonard comes to comfort her, she rails at him. After several such encounters, Penny finally admits how she picks huge jerks. That just once she'd like to go out with someone nice. Leonard moves in. But she seeks advice from Sheldon--big mistake. Anyway, the cat thing becomes the basis for everything. Heading into Season Two. Oh, Sheldon learning Mandarin so he can complain about the food in the Chinese restaurant is terrific.
