How I Met Your Mother and Burgers: The Marshall Burger Speech
How I Met Your Mother is probably one of the funniest sitcoms on TV today standing happily next to 30 Rock. It intelligently delves into a wide range of references without overtly giving the credit to the reference making it funny on two enjoyable levels.
Look at this speech, lifted straight from the 1984 Amadeus but retrofitted for the story. My French probably has to be has been fixed (HT: Marshall Erickson himself!):

Junk and…Well Junk
Warning: there be spoilers in these waters. What was the last thing I spoke about? I don’t even remember anymore. It’s been a frighteningly busy couple of weeks jam packed with meetings, designing, freelance, and Vacation Bible School. Worst I even became part of this theological discussion site that is so absurdly addicting that I haven’t had even the remotest time to stop, breath and post something more than a haiku.

Numbers Comments On Lost (with Spoilers)
Tonight on Numbers, Charlie Eppes (childhood math genius now young, dynamic genius professor/mathematician) made an interesting statement that I think relates nicely with Lost. In this episode a soldier’s family was kidnapped to bring the soldier out of hiding (for some reason: presumably revenge). The Soldier came out of hiding to hunt down the kidnapper (presumably to get his family back then kill the kidnapper). But for some reason, the kidnappers weren’t killing the Soldier, just stringing the Soldier along. Eppes points out how the math is all wrong. Statistically speaking the Soldier should’ve been confronting his kidnappers already, and have been killed: yet he wasn’t dead. What’s going on?
