In the Pulp Fiction-themed “Critical Film Studies” episode of Community, Abed told Jeff about his visit to the set of Cougar Town, including how he pooped his pants while becoming immersed in his character “Chad”. In a great move on NBC’s part, they brought the gag full circle, featuring Abed’s scene in last night’s Subway-sponsored season finale of Cougar Town.

As the AEC prepared for a Operation Teapot, a series of fourteen nuclear tests, in the first half of 1955, the commission and other government agencies began receiving substantial push-back from local communities. Residents in Nevada, Utah, and California expressed discomfort with atomic weapons being detonated in such close proximity to populated areas, i.e. themselves.

In response to widespread complaints, the AEC distributed an extensive booklet outlining the procedures and dangers to those who might be affected by the atmospheric nuclear weapon tests scheduled for the spring.

Twins joined at the head — the medical term is craniopagus — are one in 2.5 million, of which only a fraction survive. The way the girls’ brains formed beneath the surface of their fused skulls, however, makes them beyond rare: their neural anatomy is unique, at least in the annals of recorded scientific literature.
