Soft Kitty Babydoll
We don't always agree with her perspective, but Sheldon's mother certainly knows how to manage Sheldon. She's got years of experience (even if slightly abbreviated since Sheldon went to college at 11) in handling his quirky personality. Genetically, she may have given Sheldon his eyes and knees, but the far more significant gift arrived not via DNA but sound waves.
So, you are diligently working in the lab trying to generate a little nucleation. But things aren't going well and you just aren't having any luck. Then all of a sudden your lab partner fumbles in, accidentally knocking your beaker of silver nitrate.... Read more... So, Johnny was diligently working in the lab trying to generate a little nucleation. But things weren't going so well and he's just not having any luck.

Schrödinger's Cat Babydoll
Twisted up in Schrödinger's uncertainty thought experiment, this historical kitty has been put through a quantum ringer that nobody should have to experience. After all it's tough work being both alive and dead simultaneously. Every student of physics knows that Schrödinger's 1935 paper regarding a hypothetical paradox involving a cat has perplexed and annoyed physics geeks for years. The basic idea; If the outcome of a circumstance is presently unknown and by observing the circumstance you will disrupt it, then it exists in all possible states simultaneously... Simple! At least to quantum physicists with massive craniums.

Rabbits are known for a three main behaviors: wiggling their noses adorably, eating everything in your garden, and creating more rabbits. In 1202, Leonardo Pisano Bogollo aka Fibonacci proposed a logic problem involving this third behavior. Supposing an idealized world in which you start with a pair of male and female rabbits and every pair of rabbits sexually matures at one month, gestates for one month, and reproduces as frequently as possible and each mating produces a pair of male and female rabbits, how many Cadbury eggs can you eat in one sitting? No wait. That's not right.

No Comment
Unless you've recently been indicted by your local law enforcement, chances are slim that you've had to say the words 'No comment' to anybody (other than perhaps your psychiatrist). And isn't it really the case that by saying 'No comment' you are in fact making a comment? There are implications and assumptions that co-exist with folks that persistently maintain that they don't have a comment to make. Assumptions of guilt, intrigue and superiority mostly. Well here at ThinkGeek we think you should just take it easy for awhile and shut up.
What is it with cats and boxes? Despite all the talk of potentially dead cats, Schrödinger must have been a fan of the feline. He knew the perfect container for a cat was a box.
