Big Bang on CBS

[Polly Nomial]

I just read that Steven Hawkings will make an appearance on the show.

Did you read that in this thread? If not, you were ninja'd.

BTW, unless he cloned himself (a unlikely event, but if anyone did it, it would be him), he is a singularity. Well, no, not a singularity. A ... you know, a singular ... person.

It's Hawking. Not Hawkings.

And not to be confused with Hawkwing.

Confrontation between Hawking and Howard would be interesting to see . . . given that earlier in the show, they mentioned the practical joke Howard played on Sheldon by imitating Hawking on the phone.

I do believe that the crux of the bet was centered around Sheldon's sexuality and any expressions thereof in a romantical fashion.

To wit: it wasn't enough for Sheldon to engage in coitus since it was conceivable that he'd do so for "scientific purposes".

To wit: all interactions as initiated by Dr. Cooper have been centered around maintaining a friendship vis-a-vis he would likely engage in these same behaviors toward his male acquaintences.

To wit: all sexual interactions have been initiated and conducted by Dr. Fowler (aka AFF) with Dr. Cooper being an unwitting accomplice.

Ergo, there is not sufficient evidence to convict my nonclient and subject him to the terms of the aforementioned slap-bet.

Thanks for taking up the argument in my absence. You are officially on retainer as my lawyer.

I'm kind of at this point right now. We have already argued everything we can at this point and I feel like the dagger is coming for me eventually so there isn't too much of a point in seriously arguing about it now since the slap probably wouldn't occur for some time anyways.

IFYP. IANAL, FTW.

(I'm not shouting . . . really!!)

[Vorian Atreides]

And I expect to get front row seats when the slapping commences.

Stephen Hawking.

LOS ANGELES, March 12 (TheWrap.com) - "The Big Bang Theory" is getting a visit from Stephen Hawking.

The renowned theoretical physicist will guest-star on the April 5 episode of the CBS comedy, the network said Monday. In the cameo, Hawking visits uber-geek Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) at work "to share his beautiful mind with his most ardent admirer," according to CBS.

Executive producer Bill Prady said that having Hawking on the show had long been a goal, though it seemed unattainable.

When people would ask us who a ‘dream guest star' for the show would be, we would always joke and say Stephen Hawking - knowing that it was a long shot of astronomical proportions," Prady said. "In fact, we're not exactly sure how we got him. It's the kind of mystery that could only be understood by, say, a Stephen Hawking."

Hawking, known for his book "A Brief History of Time," has appeared on television comedies before, albeit in voice work. Hawking has done a guest spot on "Futurama" and appeared as himself on several episodes of "The Simpsons."
