Full and Final Departure probably has an ominous meaning with Boris Johnson in dire straights.

If you're leaving, you won't be Leaving on a Jet Plane. Has COVID changed anything?

And don't forget Smoke from Australia coated glaciers in New Zealand with a nice sunlight absorbing shade of soot. Things don't look good for now.

90% of the American people have above average intelligence. That's what they claim.

The shape of the tongue is the clincher. I bet Howard knows the name of the shape of the tongue.

No. That's what makes the Savants notable. The reports on TV focus on the remarkable accomplishments of people who would be marginalized based solely on their apparent disability. Imagine Penny's boyfriend Zack being able to discuss nuances of Theoretical Physics with Sheldon, but only within very narrow bounds. Change the subject, and Zack's lost.

When people think Savant, they usually think of "idiot savants" who are people with extraordinarily gifted kills in a particular area while their general skills are at or below average. They are, in some cases, algorithmic machines who can, for example, tell you the day of the week of a particular date. Their gifts are organic in that they are the result of Nature, not Nurture. A Genius chooses their area of specialization. They're general purpose machines. They can bore you to death on a wide variety of subjects, and they can tell you, or deduce, the algorithm for determining the day of the week from the date. A Savant can easily be stumped, a Genius conceals their ignorance better.

Almost the same. This is a build your own punch line.

There's a series about Canadian Culture on Hulu. It's called Letterkenney. The main character, like Howard, only wears Western Style shirts with 2 pockets. Their similarities are eerie 😁, or not.

A Genius and a Savant walk into a bar,

Perpendicular lines have only one point in common, and they'll never meet. Your comment reflects 2 dimensional thinking.

Maybe the Space Aliens will simply set the Amazon Rain Forrest ablaze.

Does Uranus have an Event Horizon?

Young Sheldon's big brother George was working on his car and getting more and more annoyed by Sheldon's questions and comments. "Here's a dollar, go down town and get me a dollar's worth of What's What" George told Sheldon. Sheldon looked at George and said "What's What?" "That's right" George said. "Just ask for a dolar's worth of What's What and they'll give it to you." So Sheldon set off on his quest a bit confused. When Sheldon got to the bad block in town, he encountered a heavily made up woman in a sheer gown standing in a doorway. Sheldon looked at her a bit puzzled, pointed to the general area slightly south of her belly button and asked "what's that?" "What's What?" said the lady. To which Sheldon replied "I'd like to buy a dollar's worth?"
