Sheldon: Penny, while I subscribe to the “Many Worlds” theory which posits the existence of an infinite number of Sheldons in an infinite number of universes, I assure you that in none of them am I dancing.

Penny: Are you fun in any of them?

Sheldon: The math would suggest that in a few of them I’m a clown made of candy, but I don’t dance.

“We are not living in a computer simulation.”

Yeah that strikes me as kicking the can down the road.

... and in 79.6 % of the Worlds this is fun. ;-)

From Svalbard in the north to smoking hot deserts, we humans create our own conditions of life -- that is, unless politicians get too big for their britches, at which time we do without politicians for a while.

Sheldon: Look at this. Elon Musk has a theory that we’re all just characters in some advanced civilization’s video game.

Leonard: So some alien kid spent his money on the asthma-and-glasses upgrade for me?

Sheldon: Well, he doesn’t say it’s a good game.

The trouble with multiverse jokes is that they’ve all be done before.

And they'll all be done again, as well.

Upon hearing that ice is one of the few solids that is lighter than it’s liquid form, I wondered if God made the rule “All solids are heavier”. But then - the first winter happened, the ice sank to the bottom of the lakes and killed all the plant-life off.

“Oops - okay, everything except for water - solids will be heavier.”

Apart from water arsenic, bismuth, gallium, germanium and silicon all have higher density in liquid phase, i.e. the solid floats.

So much for my glib response from God about ice then!

That deathy thing at the end is a bummer.

Bookmarked.

This G-d guy seemed to know what he was doing - almost omniscient I might venture.

I would have skipped mosquitoes, Florida Wood Spiders, palmetto bugs (flying cockroaches), cockroaches in general - just gross, scorpions, black widows, brown recluse spiders, black mambas (no I’m not color conscious), rattlesnakes and anything in Australia that can kill you during everyday activities including sitting on the Loo down under.

Otherwise quite the intelligent design as far as I can discern. ;-)
