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.

    Yikes, no need to lash out little buddy.

     

    edit: I'm glad you learned something.

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

    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?

    I likd ERB but last season was extremely weak. My favourite is Jack the Ripper vs Hanibal

    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.

    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.
