It may surprise you to learn that editors of LQ do own that darned Farnsworth Invention, and that sometimes it even plays things that pique our attention: the Levi’s commercial with the Walt Whitman voiceover for example, or the Jameson ad where he fights a giant octopus.
But a vigilant reader and TV watcher caught something we didn't on an episode of Bones last night, when the lead character Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan revealed a gift given to her by a recent flame (:20)
The forensic analysis? “Sexy.”

I am sure it's just an oversight due to your excitement (I was thrilled at the reference too), but I believe you mean 'pique' your attention, not 'peak'. :)

Thanks Elli, and you're right. We were overexcited when we typed this up. Can you blame us?
Best,
