Trivia
Several characters exhibit surprise that the twins could have had a sexual life while being conjoined. However Chang and Eng Bunker, conjoined twins from Siam from whom we get the term 'Siamese twins', were not only married, they had 10 and 11 children respectively. They shared one home with a bed built for 4 until their wives (who were sisters) had a falling out, after which Chang and Eng split their time between their wives' houses.

Goofs
Vincent Nigel-Murray first states that conjoined twin births occur 1 in every 85,000 births, then states that there have been approximately 600 sets of conjoined twins in the last 500 years. Calculating in that half of all conjoined twins are stillborn and 1/3 of those that are born die within 24 hours, for there to have only been 600 sets of living twins would mean that only 306 million people have been born in the last 500 years.

Quotes
Dr. Lance Sweets: Um, can I offer a piece of advice?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well that's why we called you, Sweets.
Dr. Lance Sweets: Don't try too hard to be their friends. Act like you're more interested in each other than any of them, all right? They will come to you.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Okay, thanks Sweets.
[Hangs up]
Special Agent Seeley Booth: So, uh, sex right?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: ...Oh good idea.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Okay, well, I think what we need to do is get a syncopated rhythm going that takes advantage of the natural frequency of the springs.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Are you this spontaneous during real sex?

just ridiculous

With each episode, the writers get farther away from the formulaic show ... making booth and brennan circus performers is so pie in the sky, its like a child's whim ... the dialogue between brennan and booth hasn't improved either... they sill sound like a couple of bickering school children ... having brennan repeat how smart she is also detracts from the show because we all know she's supposed to be smart ... i'm not interested any longer
