* HarsherInHindsight: The "Life Cycles" episode starts with Bill playing an old man looking back on his life, including how he "passed on some genes" (had children). The episode ends with Bill pointing out that death isn't the end of the line for a life cycle because of reproduction, which starts a new cycle all over again. These humorous, mundane, even hopeful lines become sad after 2017, when Nye first revealed that, due to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataxia ataxia]] running in his family, he made the conscious decision not to have kids of his own to avoid passing on the gene.

'''You'd Expect''': His defense would include actual science so that the case would hold some weight. Or point out that this is a FrivolousLawsuit and he'll buy her a new cup of hot chocolate to placate her.\\
'''Instead''': The defendant claims that because the hot chocolate was a hot fluid, that it floated out of the mug on its own, and the plaintiff still has fluid because "air is a fluid". To make matters worse, he mocks her and goes "[[YouCantHandleTheParody You can't handle the fluid!]]" when she demands her hot chocolate back from him.\\
'''The Result''': To counteract the argument, the plaintiff points out the obvious: fluids take the shape of their containers. Thus, they wouldn't just leave a stable container on their own due to heat. After a recess, the judge rules in favor of the plaintiff. He says the defendant made the mistake of assuming that liquids and gases have the same properties. If gas had been in the lady's mug, then it would have floated out into the air, but the hot chocolate fluid was a liquid. His expression also goes YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe that the defendant doesn't know basic science.
