I was re-watching an episode of SG:A this evening, and happened to spot a somewhat familiar shell command written on the whiteboard next to where Bill Nye and Rodney McKay were having an argument:

It even says fork bomb above it!  This is from Brain Storm (season 5 episode 16) where one of Rodney's scientist friends was trying to fix global warming by creating a massive heat sink from Rodney's stolen research (that ended up not working).  Note that this is a shell version of a fork bomb.  Wikipedia provides several other ways of doing it in other languages.

More TV shows need easter eggs like this one.  It makes watching them over and over and over much more entertaining!  (hellooo, Rick Berman.. Brannon Braga?)
