In case you have it on your DVR

Last week's Big Bang Theory, The Pirate Solution, has an interesting religious reference when one character attempts to lecture another from India about the significance of cows in the Hindu religion. The Indian character takes great offense at this and tells the other "The mood I'm in today, I'll take you out - I swear to Cow!"

Dietary issues are also mentioned when the Indian character mourns "Beef. I will miss you most of all," continuing to explain that in India, you can't get a Big Mac from McDonald's, but only a Chicken Maharaja Mac. And the special sauce is curry which "In India is not all that special, believe you me."

CBS does not post full episodes of this show on line, unfortunately.

Something from the lighter side for Valentine's Day

There was a funny moment on The Colbert Report this week when Colbert was interviewing Phillip Zimbardo, who authored a book on why good people do bad things. Zimbardo was talking about the fall of Lucifer in the Bible and Colbert was filling in details. Zimbardo said "Obviously, you learned well in Sunday School." Colbert quickly replied "I teach Sunday School, Mother(bleep)," and the interview was over.

You can see video by searching for Zimbardo on Comedy Central's web site.

Some unofficial background on Colbert here.
