"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."

36. I loved watching the Science Guy on TV, but maybe being marred to him is not so fun. This is the 2nd time I have seen him in the news with a woman who left within days of getting married. It seems that the Science Guy is the common denominator.

37. Um, I think it goes, "Hell hath no FURY like a woman scorned", not FURRY. Where the lunatic lady is furry is just TMI! Poor Bill; that gal has snapped. I blame them both; stuff like this doesn't happen without 2 tango-ing their way there....

38. This man is crazy. However, he has the right to do anything he want to. I remembered i have seen him at the millionaire singles club millionairecupid.com with a nice profile posted. He is a certifed millionaire. The only thing he wants to do is to meet some young girls for fun. Crazy man!

39. Bill Nye is a great guy -- as for the woman, sounds like she has big issues, and often those are the kinds of people who try to find someone like him...money, fame... "he'll take care of me and I won't ever have to work again!"

If Warren performed the ceremony, well...the guy might be a spiritual leader, but it's a church with thousands of members. I think it's more like he's got a good business sense for recruiting and marketing, with some "God" skills thrown in. I'd want a REAL minister to marry ME...one who actually knows the people who sit in his church on Sundays -- and knows them all by name...

44. You probably should figure out how to spell her last name before you spell it a couple ways throughout an article.

45. T& A are all that matters in a woman so if Bill 's wife meets the criteria then he is content.
