In "The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis" Penny gives Sheldon the napkin that Leonard Nimoy autographed at the Cheesecake factory, which he then wiped his mouth with. Sheldon then got excited that he could then grow his own Leonard Nimoy. https://youtu.be/nQLvzv5n27M
The question here is what became of this present.
1) Did Sheldon properly store it ? Or did he just put it in a protective comic book cover.
2) Does it even interest him anymore or did he just play with it a couple of times and put it away in his closet?
4) With CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology available might he do more than grow his own Leonard Nimoy, perhaps splice together a half Sheldon half Nimoy?
3) What if Amy and Bernie got a hold of it and using said gene editing could they create an even more awesome experiment?
4) Might biohacker Josiah Zayner gueststar on the show and run off with Amy in the process?
5) Isn't Nimoy DNA much cooler than a dirty old bitcoin?

Every time Sheldon asks some random woman if she'll rent her uterus, he gets another addition to his collection of restraining orders. Go, Sheldon, go!

1) Remember his storage room where he stashed all the random stuff he owns and didn't want to throw away? It's possible he bought some kind of case to hold it and put the case in storage.
2) He's saving it for future tech to allow him to make his own Nimoy
3)I don't think either is interested.
4) I wonder if Josiah did Joe Rogan's podcast yet.
5) Not if he can't engineer his own Nimoy.

Someone needs to get Sheldon a copy of Nimoy's book, "I Am Not Spock." Because Sheldon seems to think he is/was.

1.I suspect he does have it stored somewhere under conditions that will protect the integrity and structure of the DNA. Where that would be, or what that would entail, I have no idea, but it sounded fancy.
2.I don't think he lost interest in the napkin, but maybe has not wanted to take the time to complete the cloning process. Besides, wouldn't that mean he'd have to use BIOLOGY? And furthermore, what would he do with the new Leonard Nimoy once he was created? Sheldon won't want to take care of it- it might interfere with his TV shows, comic books and white board etchings!
1st #4)I don't think Sheldon wants to be spliced together with anyone else. He already considers himself to be perfect.
3.I think if they wanted to do such an experiment, they already would have.
2nd #4)Josiah who?
5.Can bitcoins be dirty since they're digital?

I can send him my unautographed copy of "I am Spock", the second volume. Just so that he knows that there is only one Spock.

Well all Sheldon needs is a healthy ovum so if you have one stashed away in a drawer somewhere..... As for question #4 did you miss the word "biohacker" Does that not mean anything to you? Add hacker onto anything and well you just have a combined word.

I think I've got different things in my drawers than you do.
And what the heck even IS a biohacker? Sheesh, the terms the kids use today.

And I thought you were a millennial. More like a centennial.

No doubt Super-Brain-Sheldon would have no trouble preserving DNA. Law enforcement has been hanging on to DNA for decades--in spite of themselves--it seems.
Think Sheldon has it stored away; just waiting until he and Amy are ready to procreate. Then he will use it to mix up a "cocktail" designed to produce a little "Shelmoy" or "Shelmoyette" or one of each. He’ll probably make Amy wear her "Star Trek" uniform throughout the entire pregnancy.

I can imagine doing something as creepy as that and accidentally creating the newest Marvel Supervillain.

Would anyone buy a comic book or see a movie called "Shelmoy" or "Shelmoyette?"

But will this marvel of science be raised Vulcan, Texan, or Californian ?

Other than being reasonable sure their second-language will be "Klingon"...
