A cool Father's day present II

My family did it again. As they did last year, they gave me a DVD of a season of The Big Bang Theory. I am looking forward to watching all of Season 3. Most of the episodes I have not seen because we do not own a TV. But a few I have seen on planes.

He was actually detecting noise from the electric can opener... Too bad he had already sent an email to everyone in the university about his results...
