My sister has claimed that I'd like the show Big Bang Theory. Any opinions from you guys? I'm elsewhere the nights that it's shown, so it'd involve taping for later viewing (I don't have TiVo or anything similar) and I want to know whether it's worth the bother.

Here's a question for all you Metroid fans out there. It's not particularly persistent or niggling, but it probably doesn't warrant its own thread, so I'll put it here.
Which do you think I should buy: Metroid Fusion or Metroid Zero Mission. I'm planning on buying one or the other of them (eventually I may want both). I haven't entirely ruled out the other handheld Metroid games either (Metroid II, Prime Hunters, or Prime Pinball), but I'm leaning toward either Fusion or Zero Mission, and I don't really have a preference for one over the other. So, any suggestions?

Sorry, I've never seen it. From the little I've read, though, the concept sounds interesting.

I enjoyed the show quite a bit. It's a sitcom focusing on four physics/engineering types, the most socially capable of which is about on par with McKay from Stargate Atlantis. They have quite a few things in there that would be funny to scientifically inclined people.

So I'm listening to a fan commentary of The Incredibles, and they use this "It's a TRAP!" line that I've also heard in an episode of Yu-gi-oh The Abridged Series. Can somebody explain this joke to me and how it's penetrated pop culture?

So it's just another example of inane attachment to random things. I'm as guilty of it as anyone, so I won't judge further.
