"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."

47.
She is an alien from M-28759A. Her mission is to discredit the science of this planet. I escaped from there through time portals to warn earth of her intentions.

48. What would "Speedwalker" (his character from the defunct comedy skit show he used to be in "Almost Live") do? Or maybe he could dream up some science thing and evaporate her into space? Hmm, I guess he's not gay, or maybe he is, and it didn't work out for him either. Well he could always go to Disneyworld and marry a cartoon!!

53. They have been married 9 months, long enough to get her hands on a big chunk of change. If he had attempted similar damage to her and her property he would be in jail. That Psycho must have been one hot piece for him to ignore all the signs.

58. Blair Tindall is well known in the classical music world. She is a professional oboist and has played in several orchestras. Several years ago she had an affair with Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart, a relationship that ended his marriage. She wrote about her musical (and "personal" career) in a memoir published a couple of years later. For you history buffs, Blair is the daughter of the famed Southern historian Dr. George Tindall.

59. It would be good for Bill Nye and others with marriage problems to take a look at DISCOVERING THE MIND OF A WOMAN by Ken Nair
or
THE EXEMPLARY HUSBAND by Stuart Scott
