        <description><![CDATA[Apparently none of the previous comments take into account the fact that Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, and Raj work at Caltech.  You cannot compare that environment to a normal place of employment, or any other school, for that matter.  My husband has 3 degrees from Caltech, and my eldest son also graduated from there.  As far as not being into sci-fi, after finals his freshman year, he and a dozen of his classmates spent the entire night at our house watching Star Wars (IV, V, VI).  I am married to a geek, and my child is a geek, and I wouldn't have it any other way.  Favorite Sheldon line - &quot;I am not insane, my mother had me tested&quot;.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Although I watch and like The Big Bang, as far as I know the comic book and sci-fi thing is overdone.  I spent many years at University (under- and post-graduate) and have always worked in a field with a scientific background.  Of all the people I've known none had a comic book or sci-fi hangup.  Comic books and sci-fi are not about reality, science is.  Don't most scientists look down on such baloney?  On a program about The Big Bang some real scientist they interviewed said the comic book thing was overdone.  As for Abby Sciuto, a junkie, yes, a pole dancer, yes, someone on psychotropic medication, yes, but a &quot;brilliant scientist&quot;, very definitely no.  What nonsense.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Not that anyone doubts Sheldon Cooper's geek status by now, but here's a couple more telltale signs he's a geek:1.  He uses behavioral psychology principles to modify the behavior of people in his life.  Doing so, by itself, isn't geeky.  Every dog trainer does it.  What's geeky is citing B.F. Skinner as a source while doing so.2.  He has just a little bit of trouble relating to normal human beings.]]></description>
