Bill NyeBill Nye the Science Guy and Lady Gaga have more in common than you'd think.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the scientist fainted Tuesday night while giving a lecture about global warming at USC. "What happened? How long was I out?" Nye asked the crowd when he regained consciousness. "Wow, that was crazy. I feel like Lady Gaga or something."

Much like the singer, who nearly passed out during a concert in New Zealand earlier this year, Nye carried on. Instead of cutting his talk short, Nye finished his discussion while sitting down.

Six TV doctor cage-matches I'd like to see

stethoscopeWelcome to TV Squad Lists (formerly 'The Five'), a feature where each blogger has a chance to list his or her own rundown of things in television that stand out from the rest, both good and bad.

I'm honestly not even sure how I came up with this, but there are a ton of medical dramas and comedies on TV. That means there's a lot of TV doctors, both past and present. So why not have some of them do battle? I think it seems incredibly logical. Peanut butter and jelly. Hot dogs and beans. TV doctors and cage-matches. So there... because I said so.

Now, with so many shows out there, some people may be wondering why I didn't choose doctors from some of the programs you'd expect. For instance, I stayed away from pitting any of the members of Grey's Anatomy in a battle royale because I figured if any of them got into a fight with someone, it'd just turn into an unexpected sex romp. By the same token, I didn't pick anyone from St. Elsewhere figuring that any fight involving someone from that show would just evolve into an inside joke that only a few people understood. Additionally, not every character I picked is from a straight up "medical" show and in one instance, I'm not sure they're actually even a doctor. Whatever... it sounds fun doesn't it?
