The Periodic Table Shower Curtain Makes a Big Bang!
A new trend is developing in primetime television. With the airing of shows such as Numbers, Boston Legal, and The Big Bang Theory, viewers are now treated to incidental learning moments in the course of enjoying their favorite shows. Historically thought of as boring, subjects like math, politics, and science are now cunningly presented as entertainment to captivate audiences of all ages.
The Big Bang Theory is the latest creation of Chuck Lorre, writer/producer of Two and a Half Men and Bill Prady of Gilmore Girls fame. The pair has teamed up to write a wacky sitcom that tells the story of Sheldon, a skittish physics prodigy totally lacking in social skills, and his roommate and best bud Leonard, another brainiac, who live across the hall from Penny, a ditzy waitress at the Cheesecake Factory.
Their friends, the smarmy nerd Wolowitz, and the verbally challenged Koothrappali who can't find his voice if a pretty woman is present, round out the cast, along with some familiar faces from an earlier sitcom, Roseanne. Lori Metcalf appears as Sheldon’s "creationism obsessed" mother, and Sara Gilbert plays shy Leonard’s secondary love interest. The show distinguishes itself by unabashedly tossing scientific references and techno babble into an otherwise typical Gen-Y sitcom, even employing a physicist to keep things accurate.
The set of the show craftily integrates scientific props that expose viewers to elemental theory subliminally. The t-shirts worn by Sheldon and Leonard, and the periodic table shower curtain featured in the show’s pilot are examples of two such items that are currently making a big bang in the retail market. Colorful and quirky, the periodic table shower curtain lets you add a little chemistry to your daily biological rituals. Even if you don't have a curvaceous neighbor like Penny to add a sensuous silhouette to your shower scene, this shower curtain will stimulate the imagination those who use your loo.
Kids can memorize the atomic number of Plutonium while they are still wet behind the ears, and your party guests will exit your powder room sounding like Einstein on acid at your next big bash. After a couple glasses of wine, no one will be able to resist reciting their newfound elemental knowledge to alert others to their amazing intelligence. Sit back and smile as you watch your guests compete to discover who is the smartest of them all!
Brainy bachelors like Wolowitz will appreciate the 'babe magnet' features of this whimsical washroom water shield. "Hey Baby, wanna come up and see my elements?" Science fans who resemble Sheldon will grasp the utilitarian aspects and functionality of a shower curtain that can be used as a quick reference source. Hang this shower curtain, and the next time someone asks you how the universe works, you can give them a "beautiful mind" answer!
