Fraser explains to Ray that "the Continental Congress of 1876 spelled out the meaning of the colors of the seal." The red, white and blue colors of the U.S. seal were delineated by the Second Continental Congress in 1777, almost a century earlier than by Fraser's reckoning.

Quotes

Ray Vecchio: It's like that time with Frobisher, when that guy Counter stabbed you in the shoulder ...
Fraser: Geiger.
Ray Vecchio: What?
Fraser: The man's name was Geiger.
Ray Vecchio: His name is Geiger Counter?
Fraser: No, it's just 'Geiger', no 'Counter', and he stabbed me in the leg.
Ray Vecchio: Leg, shoulder, what difference does it make?
Fraser: Well, Ray, when you're the one being stabbed, the difference is remarkable.
