** To UsefulNotes/CharlesDarwin and Jane Goodall: Sheldon compares Sturgis to these two famous scientists.
---> Observation is an important part of the scientific method. Darwin observed the finches, Jane Goodall observed the chimpanzees, and for some reason, Dr. Sturgis wanted to observe my Meemaw's new suitor.

adding Continuity Snarl

* ContinuitySnarl: In ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' episode [[Recap/TheBigBangTheoryS2E13TheFriendshipAlgorithm "The Friendship Algorithm"]], Leonard says Sheldon learned to swim on the floor of their apartment, and apparently this is correct because Sheldon says "I just have no interest in going in the water." Yet in this episode, reminiscing about the events of this episode, old Sheldon says:
--> The following day, I returned to school. I had no choice but to fulfill my swimming requirement. Much like Batman, I suited up and faced my fears. Unlike Batman, I did it with a doggy-paddle across the shallow end of the pool. Uh, regarding pool sanitation, it turned out I was right. It was teeming with germs. Only I was the one who put them there. As it happens, my interaction with Billy Sparks did get me sick. I, in turn, created a small epidemic taking down 128 students, four teachers... and one principal.
