The Big Bang Theory
September 5, 2010
We've been watching The Big Bang Theory (Thursdays this Fall on CBS). It's a hilarious show about some geeky, socially inept guys like me. But, nearly every episode is stolen by Jim Parson's character, Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, an entertaining astrophysicist, is also a fan of the show:
Some of my favorite Sheldon Cooper moments:
Penny: [Sheldon doesn't have a driving license] Why didn't you just get a license at sixteen, like everybody else?
Sheldon Cooper: I was otherwise engaged.
Penny: Doing what?
Sheldon Cooper: Examining perturbative amplitudes in n=4 supersymmetric theories, leading to a reexamination of the ultraviolet properties of multi-loop n=8 supergravity, using modern twistor theory.
Penny: Well, how about when you were seventeen?
Leonard: You convinced me. Maybe tonight we should sneak in and shampoo her carpet.
Sheldon: You don't think that crosses the line?
Leonard: Yes... For God's sake, Sheldon, do I have to... hold up a sarcasm sign every time I open my mouth?
Sheldon: You have a sarcasm sign?
Leonard: I guess we will just bring it up ourselves.
Sheldon: I hardly think so.
Leonard: Why not?
Sheldon: We don't have a dolly or lifting belts or any measurable upper body strength.
