"when will i learn? the answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on tv!"

i've been watching a bit of "the big bang theory" lately. it's very funny, and very in-the-know smart geek humour

i was packing up to resume residence as the guest princess at the caversham palace this afternoon when my bro came home from work

>>chirst: "i got my whiteboard in my office today. just like on "the big bang theory!"

>>bro: "yeah, i've heard that's pretty funny"

now, i had a pause, and a sarcasm check, because this was delivered deadpan with full eye contact, which are what i consider to be trademarks of the straight man in comedy partnerships. also i may have been blah blah blahing on about it a bit lately? really, no go on then

ok, i will. resume transcription

>>chirst: "are you taking the piss?"

>>bro: "no, no, it IS really funny"

>>chirst: "i know! and you know the whiteboards? they have real theorems and stuff on them! AND i learned something on it that helped me appreciate lolcats on a higher level!"

>>bro: "oh, righto, then. what could that possibly be?"

>>chirst: "well, they have this whole running gag about schrodinger's cat, and they explained exactly what it is (and here is where i explained it perfectly to my brother but i won't repeat it here because you can has hyperlink) and now i understand why cats in boxes are funny. they've also talked about this thing called occam's razor, but i can't remember what that is"

>>bro: "occam's razor? yeah, that's when the simplest answer is usually the right one"

>>chirst: "how the fuck do you know that off the top of your head? i mean, we grew up in corstorphine!"

>>bro: "yeah, i saw it when i was watching "scrubs" the other night"
