Bones Fun Facts Set #3 (From Fox.com)

Set #3, for you from me :)


1. The writers' room has an eerie ability to predict the future with the stories they write. A real-life Santa robbed a bank shortly after "The Goop on the Girl" was written. A human body part was found in a chicken nugget shortly after "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken" was written. And a real life murder in the world of Midget Wrestling occurred shortly after writing "The Dwarf in the Dirt."


2. As research, the writers will go often on fieldtrips. Recent excursions have included The Aquarium of the Pacific, Club Jiggle and Lucha Va Voom.


3. Upon hearing stories of a friend's personal injury, writers will often think of ways to turn said injury into a bone clue for a future episode.


4. The beer hat Booth wears in the bathtub in "The Pain in the Heart" sits on the desk of an Executive Producer's assistant. The cup holes are used to hold pens, highlighters and scissors.


5. There were 16,000 chickens digitally created and inserted into the background of the chicken factory in this season's "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken."


6. There were 24 chickens used for the VFX plate shoot for the same episode but after the shoot only 23 came back. One flew away


7. We did not really shoot in Amish country for "The Plain in the Prodigy." The background was digitally painted in.


8. In "The Dentist in the Ditch," there were 1000 CGI spiders modeled in the scene. 


9. Early cuts of episodes are often missing key visual effects since they are typically added after the show is locked.


10. We have filmed at some of the same locations as Academy Award winning films. We filmed in a closed hospital in Pasadena and a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles where parts of Million Dollar Baby were filmed.
