Line 70:
* Over three seasons, characters on ''[[Eureka]]'' occasionally refer to something called an "Einstein-Grant Bridge" until in the season four opener, when they accidentally pull Dr. Grant into the future from his original timeline in 1947. Thereafter, they use the term we normally use for that object, the [[wikipedia:Wormhole|Einstein-Rosen Bridge]], thereby proving that the timeline they had been in was different from our own.
* In the ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' episode "The Fifth Race", Jack spars with Teal'c in a boxing ring. Teal'c knocks Jack over with one punch. Fast forward to "Upgrades", where with the benefit of a bodily-capabilities-improving Atoniek armband, Jack KO's Teal'c.
 
 
== Music ==
* New Age composer Vangelis invokes a Brick Joke structure in his ''Albedo 0.39'' album. The first track ''Pulstar'' ends with the British Post time recording. A voice is heard intoning "At the third stroke, it will be ten-three and forty seconds" followed by three beeps. Likewise for "ten-three and fifty seconds". At "ten-four precisely", the second track kicks in right where the three beeps should be. Just before the ending of track eight, ''Nucleogenesis (Part II)'', the music pauses and the listener hears a rotary telephone dial. The dialing is followed by three beeps and the climax of the track.
