** To Creator/JimCarrey in ''Film/DumbAndDumber'': Raj whines that the dog groomer gave his dog bangs and now the poor canine looks like Jim Carrey as Lloyd in that movie.
** To UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein, Michael Faraday, Sir Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, scientists who believed in God. Raj quotes Einstein saying "God does not play dice with the universe." Maybe Raj would have also mentioned Pascal's wager, except Howard sidetracks the conversation by bringing up Einsten's sexual conquests.

** To Creator/MarilynMonroe: Supposedly she had sex with Einstein. Howard wants to believe this, and cuts Raj short before Raj can explain why it probably never happened. However, it is true that Monroe was a fan of Einstein and it's perhaps also true that the bombshell was interested in the physicist and wanted to have children with him.

Nine years ago, Raj helped launch a space probe headed for Pluto. Now it's almost time for the probe to reach Pluto, but no one knows if the probe is still operational nor whether it has reached its destination. Raj is very nervous about this, so as to relax he goes to a Hindu temple with Howard.
