"BIG Bang Theory" physicist Dr Sheldon Cooper has a buzzy new claim to fame. The geeky TV character, who counts Britain's Stephen Hawking among his online friends, has had a species of bee named after his favorite catch phrase - Bazinga!
Brazilian biologist Andre Nemesio said he named a species of Brazilian orchid bee "Euglossa bazinga" in honor of "the clever, funny, 'nerd' character Sheldon Cooper" because the bee had tricked scientists for some time with its similarity to other species.
Nemesio published his paper last month in Zootaxa, a journal for worldwide zoological taxonomists.
Actor Jim Parsons has won two Emmys for his performance as Cooper.
