Cleats by Bill Hinds for January 26, 2016

This reminds me of an episode of The Big Bang Theory, Raj and Wallawitz were trying to figure out where Sheldon disapeared to every day during lunch. They didn’t catch him in action, but they did find the room he always went to and saw the #42 written on the blackboard in Sheldon’s handwriting. They set up a remote camera so they could watch Sheldon and see what he was doing and the next day when Sheldon disapeared they opened up their laptop and turned on the remote camera. They were just in time to see Sheldon making a video record of his experiment where he claimed that after investigating 41 empty alternate universes he was about to open a gate to universe 42. As the boys watched Sheldon opened the gate and several tenticles sprang through the open gate and pulled Sheldon into the open gateway. The boys ran down to the empty classroom and there was Sheldon standing next to their hidden camera. He glared at them and said, “Did you really think I wouldn’t find your camera? When I’m ready to tell you about my research I’ll do it.” After the boys left Sheldon opened a desk drawer and pulled out a Hacky Sack, he tossed it up and kicked it with a “1” only to see the bean bag bounce across the room. “I still need 41 more to beat my record, I’m beginning to think I’ll never be able to do it.”
