Big Bang Obsession - Cache 4 of 14 - Howard Traditional Cache

This series of 14 geocaches is dedicated to my favorite television comedy show - The Big Bang Theory. Created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, the series premiered on CBS in September of 2007. At the time of the construction of these geocaches, the series has just wrapped up it's 10th season and has all ready been renewed for two more! I am still hopeful that it will be picked up for an additional two years after that, so I decided to do a series of 14 caches bringing the 14 favorite characters to the forefront.

For our fourth cache, I choose Howard Wolowitz, played by Simon Helberg.  With a Master in Engineering, Howard is a Jewish aerospace engineer and ex-astronaut as well as the one and only main supporting protagonist of the show. He is the son of an overbearing mother, Debbie Wolowitz, who couldn't care less about his scientific accomplishments and still talks to him as if he were a child.

As the best friend of Rajesh Koothrappali, Howard often hangs out at Leonard and Sheldon's apartment with him. Although he's the only member of the group lacking a doctoral degree, (and is CONSTANTLY ridiculed by everyone about it, especially Sheldon), he defends himself by pointing out that he not only has a Master's degree in Engineering from MIT, but also designs important devices like the "space toilet" used at the International Space Station.

Fancying himself a smooth ladies' man, Howard is rather confident in trying to woo girls (unlike the other three), mostly through creepy overtures and sometimes with his knowledge of foreign languages, of which he knows seven (if you count Klingon). He also has an EXTREME peanut allergy, that can send in into shock if not addressed immediately. During the show, he dates and eventually marries Bernadette, with whom he bonded over their dislike towards their overbearing mothers and has been influenced to tone down his creepy behavior. Much later, the couple have a daughter named Halley Wolowitz.
