Ben No.3 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 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. Never seen the guy on the internet before the meme. 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? You must have had terrible text comprehension marks. What he said was "He's basically a step behind Neil Degrasse Tyson and Stephen Hawking in terms of recognizability in Science". Nowhere does he claim that Nye actually is a scientist... much rather, he states that Nye is a popular representative of science, you might also say one of the faces of science. 1 Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben No.3 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yikes, no need to lash out little buddy. edit: I'm glad you learned something. Yes, I learned that USA teachers when asked to name three scientist can name one actual scientist, one celebrity and one tv show host 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.

And what would we call a representative of science? A scientist is a representative of science, but a representative of science does not have to be a scientist. A more simple example might be: the queen is a representative of England, but not every representative of england is a queen (for example, Theresa May is PM) 3 Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azdeus Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 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; 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.

Chilloutman Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I likd ERB but last season was extremely weak. My favourite is Jack the Ripper vs Hanibal 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?

Amentep Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yes, I learned that USA teachers when asked to name three scientist can name one actual scientist, one celebrity and one tv show host 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. 5 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) All the other scientists I know are dead. 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. Edited April 28, 2017 by Hurlshot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
