About a week ago, I got an email from my chum Jay Dowling. The subject of this email was "Which 'Big Bang Theory' Character Are You?"   Obviously I was intrigued. I love The Big Bang Show . By some strange quirk of fate, I even have the bobble-head characters for Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, Howard, and Raj sitting on the desk here in my office (I acquired these before Sheldon's girlfriend, Amy, and Howard's girlfriend-wife, Bernadette, came on the scene), so I couldn’t help but wonder what this was all about.     Inside the email was a link that said Click Here to discover which Big Bang Theory character you are most like. There was also a note saying: "I came out to be Sheldon... no surprise there. Who are you?"   Well, my knee-jerk reaction is that I'm a Leonard, but what do I know, so I clicked the link and took the online test -- which takes only a minute or so -- and then I was obliged to respond to Jay saying: "Dang! Just call me Amy!"   It has to be said that this is a tad ironic, since Amy is one of the bobble-head characters I don’t have. It's even more ironic in that Mayim Bialik -- the actress who plays Amy -- is the only member of the cast I've actually met in person. But we digress...   Jay immediately replied: "I guess that explains our rapport." This was one of those rare occasions on which I couldn’t come up with a snappy comeback. There's still time. What do you suggest?

It's no secret that I am a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory TV show. In fact, I love it so much that -- now the eighth season is over -- I'm watching the entire thing from the very beginning. It's amazing how much you forget. For example, do you recall what Leonard and Sheldon were doing when we first meet them at the start of the very first episode?   The reason I'm waffling on about this here is that I was meandering my way around the Internet as is my wont when my eye was caught by the image below. The contents of the whiteboard are obviously superimposed onto a scene from the show, which couldn’t fail to intrigue me.   STOP! Before you look at the puzzle in the following image, glance at your watch, and then see how many seconds it takes you to solve this cunning conundrum.     Please don't post the answer below -- let's not spoil the fun for the next person to see this blog. On the other hand, I would be interested to know how many seconds it took you to solve the puzzle.
