"Do you think you can help me, Amy?" Amy regarded Sheldon.

"I don't understand what the problem is Sheldon. All you've told me is that you've felt fluctuations in the temperature of your apartment and there's nothing wrong with the radiator."

"Well that's the problem. I've been to two doctors and I'm not sick, no-one else has noticed it and I'm starting to worry that I'm being taken over by some extra-terrestrial parasite."

"Sheldon, while not beyond the realms of possibility, I think it highly unlikely that an alien parasite is causing this distress. I believe I have a few theories as to your predicament, but I need more information."

"Such as?"

"Is there a pattern at all, to these increases in temperature?"

"None which I have been able to determine. They happen sporadically and at different times of the day, different days of the week, though recently it's happened almost every day."

"Do you have a record of events I can peruse at my leisure?" Sheldon handed Amy a small notebook.

"I have recorded times, dates, the people present and what they were doing. I thought it best to cover all angles."

"Refreshingly thorough Sheldon, as always."

"Thank you, Amy. Now if you'll excuse me I really have to get back. Will you Skype, text or email me when you have a definitive theory?"

"Of course." Sheldon left. Amy scanned the notes and raised an eyebrow. Checking Sheldon had gone; she pulled out her cell phone and dialled.

"Bernadette? Are you free to meet, we have a crisis."

"So, what's this crisis?"

"It's to do with Sheldon."

"Oh my god, has he finally cracked?"

"No, you're being Melodramatic Bernadette. Though I do believe that Sheldon's Homo Novus complex is about to come crashing down around him, metaphorically speaking."

"Homo Novus complex?"

"Yes. You see, Sheldon believes that he is not a Homo Saipan, but a higher strand of the species, Homo Novus, the nest stage of the evolution of mankind. However, I believe that current circumstances are leading to that theory being disproven."

"You mean his social inadequacies haven't already?"

"No. you see, Sheldon's lack of social graces and problems with accessing emotion is linked to his theory of being further evolved than the rest of us. Homo Novus is without sexual desire, emotional disturbances and the needs and urges that the rest of mankind are subject to. It's basically how he scientifically explains the fact that he is, as Penny puts it, 'one serious whackadoodle'."

"And that's about to change?"

"Actually Bernadette, it's already started." Bernadette's eyes went wide.

"Sheldon's becoming normal?" Se breathed in disbelief.

"Not exactly, but he is apparently starting to experience typical male urges." Bernadette frowned.

"Are you saying he tried to come on to you?"

"No, not at all. It is not me he's interested in. Though he is, it seems, feeling the urge to engage in coitus."

"Are you sure?"

"No two ways about it girlfriend, Sheldon's horny."

Sheldon walked in to find Penny and Leonard sitting on the couch sharing a salad. Leonard glanced at him.

"Hey Sheldon." Penny looked up and gave Sheldon a wide smile.

"Hey Moonpie." Sheldon felt the familiar sensation of s temperature increase and pulled out his back-up notebook to document it.

"Watcha doing sweetie?" Asked Penny.

"Well, I need to keep a record of events in this back-up notebook, as Amy Farrah-Fowler is still in possession of the one I usually use. It makes me regret not actually making copies of my notes on findings to give to her so I could keep the original hard copies. Right now I can't check whether or not a pattern is emerging, although I doubt it considering all pre-collected evidence that I do recall." He closed the notebook and went over to his laptop. Penny turned to Leonard.

"Do you have any idea what that was all about?"

"I've learnt to tune it out."
