"The Science Guy" Wants to Send "Wife" to the Moon

Bill NyeBill Nye "The Science Guy" is asking a Los Angeles County judge for protection from his faux wife, after she pulled a late night raid on his flower and produce gardens. One needn't be scientific to know that marriage isn't going well!

TMZ obtained a request for a temporary restraining order, first reported by The Smoking Gun, filed by Nye against his pseudo-wife of just one year, Blair Tindall. In the handwritten documents, Bill claims his estranged gal showed up at his Studio City home on Labor Day, dressed in black and armed with two large bottles "filled with some sort of solvent" to do damage to his garden, which he says provides "food produce."

And it gets crazier!

Nye also alleges that the herbicide was "quite toxic" and thought Tindall might have squirted him in the eyes with it had she gotten closer. Not very Nyes!

Tindall responded to the order by describing the midnight bad vegetables incident as a "foolish, sophomoric act of poor judgment" brought on by a series of personal and family problems. Blair explained that the reason for the attack was that she saw their rose garden on the "Living with Ed" TV show. She claims Nye picked a rose and gave it to Ed Begley's wife on the show and discussed how he had no woman in his life. She also strongly denied being a threat to Nye, and accuses him of "emotional cruelty." The out of orbit couple "wed" last February in a curious ceremony officiated by Pastor Rick Warren, author of "The Purpose Driven Life."

16.
Dressed in black & spraying herbicides - maybe he loved that garden more than the estranged Blair - that is a bit scary having a psycho after you.

19. I many years ago worked in an office that Mr. Nye visited often. During conversations with him I wasn't left with a good impression of him.

I don't know either party personally....it does make me wonder about the private times spent with them during their home conversations. I don't know his wife, but ....this reported story does make me wonder?????

Also......ABUSE ON ANY LEVEL IS NEVER POSITIVE. I wish everone the best possible future.

22. If one reads Ms Tindall's declaration, one would recognize that Mr Nye led Ms Tindall down the garden path, never fully intending to commit to her, but to make productive use of her credit score. The fact that she doused "their" roses with weed killer is merely a symbolic act of closure. For the big strapping Mr Nye to feel scared of the diminutive Ms Tindall, is a clear sign that he needs much needed perspective and to grow up. Ms Tindall is an educated and articulate woman who fell in love with a charismatic character, and that is all she is guilty of.

Annie, I beg to differ. Domestic Violence (in this case DV property destruction and DV harassment) is not excused because the offender is female. Women bearing objects of harm, like a bucket of chemicals for instance, are no less a threat than a man doing the same. Also, men can and are the victims of violent attack by women weilding knives, shards of glass (my 90lb neighbor slashed her husband's face with one last year after smashing her hand through the glass to get in) etc. Threatening behavior is not excused for the offender having ovaries. The excusing by women of the unacceptable acts of other women creates an us vs. them mentality. Violence and threatening behavior on the part of any party, regardless of gender, should be punished not excused in any civilized society. If a male, estranged spouse showed up dressed in black slinging weed killer chemicals, his butt would be in jail in 10 seconds.

27. The sadest thing is that the world is going to hell in a handbasket and this is the news we get. You Clinton lovers just don't know all the damage your precious Clintons have done and they may not be finished. God help us (even though we have turned our collective backs on you)

30. is this really surping?
scientists are locked into the 'logic' part of the brain, which , unfortunately does not inolve 'love' the feeling, merely the 'theory' of love.
