The Boyfriend Complexity - S4-E9
Corrected entry: Penny's father says, "I want grand kids before I die, and I want them to grow up in a house without wheels," but in season 2, E20, Penny asks Leonard to buy a comic book for her 13 year old nephew. Her nephew would be her father's grandson.

The Financial Permeability - S2-E14
Corrected entry: When Leonard returns from talking with Penny, the guys are playing Talisman. Stat counters are randomly placed on the board, when they should always be associated with cards. Then Howard rolls "double sixes" - in Talisman you advance your character by rolling a single die. Raj then acquires a sword without rolling - only the character that rolled would have acquired an item without additional gameplay. (00:13:45)
Correction: Fountain of Wisdom, Pool of Life, and Magic Stream all put stat counters on the board to be picked up by whomever lands on them. A Horse allows one to roll two dice for movement, and Market Day or Acquisition would allow someone to acquire items out of turn.

The Pants Alternative - S3-E18
Corrected entry: Sheldon claims the X-Men were named so after the X in Charles Xavier's' name. In The X-Men #1 (1963), Professor X states that mutants possess an extra power that humans do not have. Xavier then says "That is why I call my students... X-Men, for EX-tra power!"

The Grasshopper Experiment - S1-E8
Corrected entry: Leonard wonders aloud "I wonder who's going to tell his (Sheldon's) parents they're not having grandchildren." Leonard and Sheldon have been sharing the apartment for long enough for Leonard to know that Sheldon's father has been dead for a number of years, but it is at least since S1E04, when Sheldon's mother says "God rest his soul" while talking about his father.
Correction: Episode S01E04 ended with Sheldon asking his mother if Dr. Gablehouser is going to be his new daddy and her saying "We'll see." So he could be the other "parent." Or his mother could have met someone else between the episodes.

The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification - S4-E2
Corrected entry: Sheldon gets Leonard to read the roommate agreement, and it talks about robots. Sheldon is not a robot, he's using a Virtual presence device, therefore Leonard is under no obligation to follow the rules of the roommate agreement. (00:13:10)
Correction: Like the Relationship Agreement, the Roommate Agreement is designed to be entirely for Sheldon's benefit. There's almost certainly an Exception Clause that lets him stretch the definition or alter it however he wants. Leonard would know this and probably not consider it worth fighting about.

The Staircase Implementation - S3-E22
Corrected entry: When Sheldon tells Leonard about the time travel clause, he states "in precisely five seconds." Anybody who knows anything about time travel know that you need a definitive point in time, so without having that exact date and time written down somewhere, there's no way a future version of them could arrive at that unspecified time. Sheldon's too anal to ignore something like that.
Correction: The precise time would be slightly before the signing of the Roommate Agreement, which is about to happen, so it's a markable point in their histories/future histories.

The Excelsior Acquisition - S3-E16
Corrected entry: Penny got a red light camera ticket while Sheldon was driving her car. She says she gave up Sheldon as the driver to the court because she didn't want to get any more points on her license. You don't get points on your license for a camera issued violation. The registered owner just gets a straight fine. A police officer has to issue a ticket at the scene to get license points.
Correction: Penny is not a legal expert. She might not be aware of this technicality and is still afraid of gaining points.

Correction: Her mother may have had a child with another man before marrying her father, which would make the nephew a step-grandson and not a "real" one in her father's eyes.
