This is only tangentially related to the show, so I thought I would put it down here in the not-show-related section.
When Barenaked Ladies released the full 1:45 version of the Big Bang Theory theme, of course I had to buy it, and I have since listened to it roughly a bazillion times. Now, I have discovered that there are several videos of the song on YouTube, and down to a one of them, they seem to render the lyrics toward the end "Religion or Astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy/It all started with a big bang." Right from the start, I have heard that line as "Religion or astronomy, Descartes or Deuteronomy...."
Out of curiosity, is anyone else hearing "Descartes" there?
