\nDon’t you hate it when people say shit like that? Because you KNOW they are full of shit when they do!<\/p>\n

But seriously, I am very bad at watching TV shows that have a plot running over more than one episode and lately, Rachel Maddow has totally taken over prime time, so who cares about sitcoms? It seems that “The Big Bang Theory,” a TV show about nerdy roomates and the hot chicks they can’t have (according to the commercials … I actually have not seen it) is of interest to many of my colleagues because they keep mentioning it. It is also controversial, because how dare they have those thin heteronormative dumb blonds running around all the time. Or whatever.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I signed on to Twitter this morning with my new twitter client (a-tweet) and found out the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Most of the tweets were about twitter;<\/li>\n
  2. One of the tweets was about a study that showed that most of the tweets were about twitter;<\/li>\n
  3. Bug_Girl<\/a> had something interesting to say. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What did Bug Girl have? Well, Lewis Black, it would appear, is going to play an entomologist on The Big Bang. An etymologists who’s wife ran away with an ornithologist! Now, THAT is funny!!!!!! Seriously! (you see, on average, the average bird eats the average insect on a regular basis … birds are insect eaters, insects are bird food, though the same thing could be said of seeds. And since the same thing can be said of seeds, the show is now about seed dispersal syndromes, so I now have TWO excuses to watch it: Lewis Black and Seed Dispersal Mechanisms!<\/p>\n

    In case you are wondering about my a-tweet application, this was the output:<\/p>\n
