Continuity mistake: As Tiana and Naveen are floating over the swamp hanging onto the balloons, the amount of balloon strings alternates between three and four stings depending on the angle. Most of the time, when the shot is on Tiana there are three strings and when on Naveen there are four. (00:33:00)

The Superhero in the Alley - S1-E12

Factual error: Booth is supposed to be a (former) Army sniper. Military personnel chosen to be snipers are expert shooters. At the young mans grave, Booth places a sharpshooter badge on the boys casket. Being a sniper, Booth should be an expert and, as such, should have placed an expert badge instead of a sharpshooter. (Rifle and Pistol sharpshooter badges in rank lowest to highest: marksman, sharpshooter, then expert.)

Goo Goo Gas/No Hat for Pat - S7-E9

Continuity mistake: In the episode where Plankton turns Krabs and the rest of the Krusty Krab into babies, baby Krabs is hitting Plankton with the secret formula while they are on the floor of the Krusty Krab. Krabs crawls away and Plankton picks up the bottle and declares how easy it was. The next shot he is suddenly on top of one of the tables instead of the floor.

Question: Does anyone know anything about the theory that chefs hats represents the number of ways that they know how to prepare eggs? If this is correct, then why is Linguini allowed to wear a chef's hat when he, in fact, isn't one? Wouldn't he be wearing a different hat?

Shannon Jackson

Chosen answer: This is a legend, which states that the number of pleats on a chef's hat (or toque) represents the number of ways that they know how to prepare an egg. There's certainly no evidence that it's actually true - it would be highly impractical if it were, requiring a chef to get a replacement every time they learned a new method. Regardless, many toques are made with exactly 100 pleats, supposedly based on the idea that there are 100 ways to prepare an egg, however, chefs wear them regardless of their culinary skill in that department.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the episode "One Good Scare Ought to Do It", Candace arrives at Jeremy's house and is wearing a belt. (It's very clear as she yells "These are designer jeans!") After Susie's attacks, when Jeremy comes out Candace is on the ground with the dog still attached to her rear end and the belt has disappeared. In the next shot of Candace, the belt has returned.
