It All Started with a big bang....BANG!

I have always reminded myself to post a special entry just for this show but it always slipped past my mind. Well, A Levels trials also came in between and I suddenly found my blog having strings of emotional-do-or-die posts. Thus, to ease the tension of this blog, I have decided to blog about this:-

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

For all those mega fans of The Big Bang Theory, Barenaked Ladies is the band behind this witty and creative theme song. But I seriously don't know which came first...the show or the song. LOL

For all those uninformed ones, I was not talking about Stephen Hawking's theory but a HILARIOUS TV show. My roommate recommended me to watch it and it is VERY HILARIOUS. Ok...let me rephrase that. If you are a geek, then it's hilarious. Just too bad if you don't get the jokes =P

The show is about 2 guys, Leonard an experimental physicist and Sheldon, a super genius theoretical physicist living together. So I bet you can guess what they do all day....PHYSICS. In fact, their social life revolves around science. Plus, they also love what all geeks love which includes Star Wars, superhero comic books, computer games and of course STAR TREK, the standard global label for geeks.

Then there's Penny, the gorgeous new neighbour that just shift in next to them and caught Leonard's attention. So, Leonard tries to win her with geeky pick-up lines while Sheldon continues to ignore personal contact with people as he fears that would jeopardize his chances of winning a Physics Nobel Prize. There is also Howard, an aerospace engineer who always wears a Batman belt and Koorthrapali, a computer software engineer and of course, they are friends of Sheldon and Leonard.

So think Periodic Table shower curtains, Darth Vader shampoos, fake time machines, dressing up as the Doppler's Effect for a dress up party and a plethora of other science jokes that makes a layman gawk (and makes me laugh =P), then you'll get an idea of the show.

Some memorable lines to get you (geek or not) convinced =P

Leonard: Sheldon, this is not your home!
Sheldon: This isn't anyone's 'home'. This is a swirling vortex of entropy.

Penny: You know I do like the one where Lois Lane falls down from the helicopter and Superman swooshes down and catches her. Which one (movie) was that?
All 4 of them: ONE
Sheldon: You know that scene was rife with scientific inaccuracy
Penny: Yes, I know men can't fly.
Sheldon: No, no let's assume that they can. Lois Lane is falling, accelerating at an initial rate of 32ft per second, per second. Superman swoops down to save her by reaching out two arms of steel. Ms. Lane, who is now traveling at approximately 120 miles per hour, hits them, and is immediately sliced into three equal pieces.
Leonard: Unless Superman matches her speed and decelerates.
Sheldon: In what space, sir, in what space? She's two feet above the ground. Frankly, if he really loved her, he'd let her hit the pavement. It'd be a more merciful death.
Leonard: Well, excuse me! Your entire argument is predicated on the assumption that Superman's flight is a feat of strength.
Sheldon: Are you listening to yourself? It is well established that Superman's flight is a feat of strength. It is an extension of his ability to leap tall buildings, an ability he derives from Earth's yellow sun!
Howard: And you don't have a problem with that? How does he fly at night?
Sheldon: Uh, a combination of the Moon's solar reflection, and the energy storage capacity of Kryptonian skin cells.
Penny: I'm.... just... gonna go wash up.
Leonard: I have 26 hundred comic books in there; I challenge you to find a single reference to "Kryptonian skin cells."
Sheldon: Challenge accepted!
[walks to door]
Sheldon:We're locked out...
Koorthrapali: Also, the pretty girl left.

Penny: I always say that when one door closes, another one opens.
Sheldon: No it doesn't. Not unless the two doors are connected by relays or there are motion sensors involved. Or if the first door closing creates a change of air pressure that acts upon the second door.
Penny: (gives Sheldon a long look) Never mind.

Leonard: Do you really need the Honorary Justice League of America Membership card?
Sheldon: It's been in every wallet I owned since I was five.
Leonard: Why?
Sheldon: It says keep this on your person at all times. It's right here under Batman's signature.

Penny: Ok, here you go Leonard. One tequila sunrise!
Leonard: Thank you! You know, this drink is a wonderful example of how liquids with different specific gravities interact in a cylindrical container!
Penny: (Gawk)
Leonard: Ok. Thank you.

And the classic one...

Sheldon: I don't care if anybody gets it. I'm going as the Doppler effect. If I have to, I can demonstrate. NYEEEROOOOM
