Geocache Description:

The cache should be a fairly simple find but I would recommend finding it during the day light due to the dense bushes.

The Big Bang Thoery has many meanings, including the popular TV show of the same name. This is the sixth in a series of 10 caches created in a tribute to the Big Bang Theory and the hilariosity the show brings to TV, in particular, Sheldon Cooper.

Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper are both brilliant physicists working at Cal Tech in Pasadena, California. They are colleagues, best friends and roommates, although in all capacities their relationship is always tested primarily by Sheldon's regimented and non-conventional ways. They are also friends with their Cal Tech colleagues, mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The foursome spend their time working on their individual work projects, playing video games, watching science fiction movies or reading comic books. As they are self-professed nerds, all have little or no luck with "popular" women. When Penny, a pretty woman and an aspiring actress originally from Omaha, moves into the apartment next to Leonard and Sheldon's, Leonard has another aspiration in life, namely to get Penny to be his girlfriend.
Sheldon, played by Jim Parsons, is the nerdiest of them all; the king of the comic book geeks, the smartest of the group, and, of course, the character with some of the most hilarious one-liners known to the scientific community.

In my head, I see the nerds of Big Bang Theory enjoying geocaching due to the technological aspect of using government-placed, multi-billion dollar sattelites to find tupperware in the woods. Maybe it's just me though, as nerds typically don't like the outdoors, but I can dream, right?

Anyways, for this cache, we pay homage to Sheldon's song... as annoying and hilarious as it may be. In this scene, Sheldon convinces the team to take the train to a conference where they will meet Nobel prize winner Dr. Smoot. Sheldon, being the nerd he is, has a paper he wants to show to Dr. Smoot... located on his flash drive. Of course... you can imagine what happens - let the annoying song begin.
