Stuff Sheldon Cooper is right about

Bumping this, because Sheldon Cooper is absolutely correct that unless you hear “I’m pregnant” from a woman’s own lips, ASSUME NOTHING! Exception: if she is wearing a shirt that says BABY, and has an arrow pointing down.

The “Kitty” song is really soothing.

Oh, so it’s like “chicken Kiev”; there’s no dish just called “Kiev.” All this time, I thought it was like “Spaghetti with meatballs,” because there is “spaghetti marinara,” without meatballs.

Dave Barry once wrote that you should never assume a woman is pregnant unless you see a child actually emerging from her body.

A corollary to that is that if you see a person who appears past middle-age, with a small child, hoo-boy, do not assume “grandchild.” Even if the person is a woman, with a T-shirt that says “Ask me about my grandchildren.”

In these tropical conditions, it’s not a question of the bread going stale, it’s a question of the bread growing mold. Do you like moldy bread, Dr. Cooper?

A line which the writers blatantly stole and gave to Raj in this very episode, those lazy bums.

In what sense is Sheldon ever “right” about religion or fundamentalism aside from the most trivial of observations?
Being right about something needs some minimal level of difficulty to be of any valuable meaning. Seeing a cat on a table and saying “there’s a cat on the table” means you’re right, but I wouldn’t say “Mary was right about the cat” unless there was something odd about the situation.

Can you quote the post where someone said he was?

He’s correct about order making a difference, but his order is wrong. Cheese is not the moisture barrier against the lettuce, lettuce is the moisture barrier between the condiments on the bread and wetter vegetables like tomato slices underneath the lettuce. There’s no reason his sandwich should have been soggy, save for possible tampering by the delivery person (or his “friends”).

If you just washed the lettuce, it will be a little damp, too.

Yes. (My bolding)

I can’t think of a single theological, historical, or pastoral thing he’s said that (we’re talking about genius + eidetic memory) shows anything but the most basic understanding or religion. He’s right, but right like saying “Alabama is a state in the USA”, not really salient.

Wrong on both counts. B5 is seriously uneven but there is definite gold amongst the dross (the G’kar/Londo arcs most notably).

And there was nothing gradual about the decline in quality in Heroes, unless one can “gradually” plummet. It basically went:

Season 1: That was pretty good.
Season 2: Ugh, the writer’s strike has ruined this show. This makes no sense.
Season 3: WTF is this shit?
Season 4: No. Just…no.
Heroes Reborn: You’re just embarrassing yourselves now.

I have no views on the constituent elements of chili (which I don’t particularly like in any form) or string theory.

Since I buy a lot of bread with no preservatives, mine gets moldy, too. Solution: put it in the freezer. It keeps perfectly fresh, and you only need to get out a couple of slices at a time. It defrosts in only a couple of minutes. Works on sliced bread, and whole baguettes and batards, too. Sheldon should know that and should have pointed it out! In an annoying, pedantic way.

So go post it in the “stuff Sheldon is wrong about” thread, and leave us alone.

That’s ok if you’re going to toast it, but it’s nothing like as good as genuinely fresh bread for making a fresh sandwich.

I agree with this, but if it’s a choice between frozen bread and moldy bread, I’ll take frozen bread every time.
