As you know, my wife has been doing research this past year. I'm always amazed by how many papers she's a "co-author" on. She works hard, no doubt about it, but it seems there's always a "paper" to be written. I guess I didn't realize how much work was constantly being done that warranted writing about.

As for the Big Bang Theory, I want to know who the asshole is that insisted that this be his introduction to television? Idiot.

That said, if you were to pick one show to introduce Peter Higgs to the amazing story telling abilities of television (anything NOVA or Sagan are out) what would it be?
