Things We Can Learn From TBBT
posted by wonder2wonderSTAFFMOD on October 1, 2021 at 11:31 AM
There are a lot of intelligent people on this show. The combined IQ of the gang - Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj, Penny, Bernadette and Amy - is about 1135. So by observing them and the others, you can become smarter. 
Here are some examples (if you have any doubt about their qualifications): 
Sheldon thinks he is omniscient. Well, he can teach physics. ⚛
• Sheldon teaches Penny Physics.
Penny is an actress. 🎭
• Penny teaches Sheldon how to act.
Raj is exotic and mysterious, a master at the art of flirting. 
• Altair and Vega.
What can we learn?
1) Mango salsa gives a little zing to your food.
2) You can find cute clothes in the clothes bin.
3) All you need to clone someone is a healthy ovum and a sample of his or her DNA.

I put up a "#13"! What happened to MY comment?
People put up all kinds of crap out here...…a lot of it having nothing to do with the discussion at hand...no problem!
Yet, when I put up a relevant, not to mention eloquent, thoughtful, and well-written comment, it's gone-gone-gone! What's up with that!?
NOTE: I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking to censure me, I can tell you it will not work. I have a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for the pedantic like you. If you stop *&%$#@! to Mod now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not seek you out. I will not object to your posts. But if you don’t, I will seek you out, I will find you, and I will report everything you’ve ever written, on this and every other Board.

Not really. I'll just go quietly, not put up a fuss, and let the religious minions have this one.

Here (US) it’s rated TV-14. But, I see that the designated rating varies quite a bit (up-to-and-including-being-banned) depending on where in the world it's being broadcast.
Having seen that—truth is—I’m feeling better about it already.
