The Note:
Ouranos and Cronos are from Greek Mythology:
Ouranos (Uranus) – or Father Sky, is personified as the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth
Cronos - is the wily, youngest and most terrible of the children of Uranus, whom he hated. He castrated his father and became ruler of the universe, but was later overthrown by his own son Zeus.
Norse
Buri, Bor and Wotan are from Norse Mythology:
Buri (Bori) - Progenitor of gods; father of Bor. Said, in the Eddas, to have been
brought forth from when the cosmic bovine, Auðhumbla, licked the salty rime-ice to free him
Bor - father of Wotan. Not much is known about him.
Wotan (Odin) - the chief God. Defeated the giant Ymir and helped make the worlds from the body parts of Ymir. He is a god who encompasses many functions and powers. God of the storm winds, God of the runes, a war God, God of the battle-slain, and a God of wisdom. He also usedherbs to revive the severed head of his uncle Mímir to gain wisdom.
Snorri
Snorri is in reference to Snorri Sturluson – author of ‘Prose Edda’ a book about mythology.
Quote
In the quote:
“Squashes that will squash the county fair records? In class mammalia, order rodentia, the rise of the ROUS‘s? Even we hominids might take part. More than a few females might wish to grow thier assets; men, too.”
ROUS is a acronym from ‘Princess Bride’ meaning Rodents Of Unusual Size.
slug
Betsy is what Walter named the slug.
In Walter’s lab notes for the “Pilot” episode, there was a diagram, that I presumed to be a rough sketch of the lab. It looks like it could be the lab with the layout of all the equipment, and Walter’s comments pushed me to that faulty assumption.
“It gives me so much joy to turn the lights on and off at my own whim — and to resume the explorations I began so long ago, in this very laboratory. The ratio of floor dimensions is the key. How can I be expected to make true progress without understanding the properties of my space?”

Just what I needed before I pack up for Christmas…my two favorite TV doctors…
Bishop vs. House
In Walter’s lab notes for this week he notes:
“I know the rule: ‘cannot build phallic puzzles inside the lab.’ I still know the numbers, too — well I damn well should, it’s a simple second-order recursive algorithm — but a mnemonic is worthless without it’s contents.”

Thanks to Fringeling…this really got me thinking. (a rhyme-Walter style)
Has anyone re-read Walter’s lab notes from “The Arrival” recently? They all but lay out the plot for The Equation, esp when combined with the lab notes from “The Equation”. I think it raises a whole new set of questions about who Walter really is, esp if he appears to know the future…
In the pilot episode, Olivia gets into a tank and merges her mind with John Scott’s in order to get information from him when he was dying and unable to speak. In later episodes, she starts to see John Scott live and in person, even though he is now dead (or so they think). Walter explains that when they made that connection, a part of John was left behind in Olivia, and she is now accessing that information…
