You don't know who Bill Nye is?

 

Does having a US syndicated TV show for 5 years really lead to world-wide recognition?

 

 

I'd say his internet presence has stretched out a bit farther than that at this point. He's basically a step behind Neil Degrasse Tyson and Stephen Hawking in terms of recognizability in Science.

To be fair, you'd have to have an interest in science and facts to start with.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

I just googled the guy. He is not even a scientist. You placing this kids show host with Stephen Hawking is mind boggling. 

I think I asked this before, but aren't you supposed to be a teacher? How low are the education standards in USA?

Welcome to an elite club, Mr. Al. Club Rap-Battles-I've-Actually-Enjoyed. As of now, you're the first and only entry.

Mr Al is epic, even my mother loved that one! 

Aw come on, Key and Peele always kill it.

I love their multi features, like this one;

Yes, I learned that USA teachers when asked to name three scientist can name one actual scientist, one celebrity and one tv show host  :grin:

To be technical, Hurl named a Mechanical Engineer, an Astrophysicist and a Theoretical Physicist, all of whom are celebrities in the US and who all have hosted TV shows.

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

All the other scientists I know are dead.  :skull:

 

I didn't actually bring up Bill Nye, technically speaking. Sharp_One did, when he posted a meme with Bill Nye in it. Then Gfted1 pointed out that the meme was inaccurate (which is hardly a surprise) and I made a bad joke about that, and then Sharp_One got defensive and is now attacking the American Education system.

 

Which seems a bit more mean than funny at this point, but humor is subjective.

Yeah, season 5 haven't really been up to snuff either, I liked Bond vs Austin Powers though.

RIP Sagan. :(
