Here are a variety of questions that came to mind while watching the most recent episode. Please feel free to share your thoughts on any or all.

1.Leonard has an Ewok in his bed. Sheldon has Chewbacca. What stuffed animal/creature did you sleep with as a kid? (I won't make anyone admit to it as an adult.)

Me: I slept with a Snoopy.

2.Penny made a couple of remarks during the opening sequence that weren't particularly kind. For example she stated that she didn't care that Halley had thrown up on Leonard's Ewok, and then implied that since they were no longer talking about sex that the conversation should turn to Amy. If you could describe the transition of Penny from Season 1 to Season 11 in terms of Smurfs, is it accurate to say she has transitioned from wide-eyed Smurfette to jaded Grumpy Smurf? Or is that way off base?

Me: Maybe that's a bit too drastic, but she was Grumpy Smurf during the lead-in scene!

3.Amy billed her coffee machine to the university as Eduardo, her Colombian lab assistant. Do you think that a lot of money spent on research (in reality) probably is thrown down the drain on such expenses?

Me: Yep!

4.Tangent question from #3. When you are asked to "donate a dollar to _______ awareness" or "donate a dollar to ________ research", like at the grocery store, what do you think of that? Are you more likely to donate to research than to awareness?

Me: It depends on the cause. Some causes I think you'd have to live on another planet not to be aware of them by now, so I'd be more likely to donate if it were for research. But I'd wonder if my money was really going to fund a coffee machine.

Howard wanted me to remind you it's sleight-of-hand.

Magician types can get picky about things like that. But I think he'll be okay.

At one of my first computer programming jobs, the upper managers kept wanting to keep the "accounting months" open so they could add in more sales to make things look better. But then you can end up running out of year before you have 12 "accounting months." Maybe "month" 12 is only a week or less. And it messed up the rest of the books. To try and make the point, the accounting manager and I made up the idea of using some transfer accounts which were labeled "Graft And Corruption." How were we supposed to know that the managers would take the balance sheet and income statement reports to the bank to secure a loan, without looking at them?

Fun times.

Well, I remember one of those from a Monty Python bit.
