   Weird episode, not terrible but didn't do a lot for me. A lot of outlandish   
   premises thrown together at once (when focus on one might have been best).   
   Johnny Tightlips's lips don't seem quite so tight anymore.

   Math nerd stuff   
   If the axes are to scale on that classroom drawing of a parabola, it can't be   
   y=25-x^2 (which would have it crossing the y axis at 25, not 5); y=5-(x^2)/5   
   describes that drawing if each tick mark is 1 unit.   
   Also, y=x^2+C is not "the" equation for a parabolic curve, and that doesn't   
   even cover the downward-pointing example shown earlier! There are several ways   
   to express a parabola, but a simple example for a vertically aligned one would   
   be y=ax^2+bx+c.
