Rodney McKay: “Watch who you’re correcting, Science Guy! My Ph.D. is not honorary!”

[Revolting cat!]

All’s fine. Evidently, the Science Guy was treated by a witch doctor later that day.

Correction to title: Bill Nye, the PSEUDO-science Guy Faints on California Stage.

"Why not call him “Hitler” and be done with it."

Just making a point. Just because someone practices what they preach, doesn't mean it's a good idea. The Amish practice what they preach, but frankly, I really like my zippers, not to mention electricity.

I made that perfectly clear in my post #19.

However, your NAMBLA reference was just ignorant.
Are the Amish also comparable to NAMBLA?

If you had a point to make, you fudged it up royally.

How can you NOT love Rodney?
Saves everybody’s ass and lets them know about it, too.

Saves everybody’s ass and lets them know about it, too.

Like I always say, it's okay to brag as long as you can always back it up.

I’m willing to bet he was trying to reduce his carbon footprint by holding his breath while speaking at the same time. Kinda like when stoners try to speak while holding the smoke in their lungs.

Thank goodness he only fainted. It would have been a tragedy if he was blinded with science.

This thread wears mascara.

“Why is the rum gone?” :)

[texson66]

Wow! Bill really loves that podium!

Is that Julius Sumner Miller???

[Constitution Day]

No, it's Dr. Magnus Pyke.

[pillut48]

Sounds similar to Professor Julius Sumner Miller. The guy was a hoot, but to this day more than half a century later, I STILL remember some of his science experiments! :-) He was soooooo into physics and science, it was fascinating to watch and listen to him.

Found some videos on YouTube, shoot, if science teachers were more like this guy we would have millions of kids to compete with China and India's science students!!

Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out later after I clean my bathroom, lol.

I remember watching those on PBS at like, 2AM in the morning, they were fun to watch.

[SunkenCiv]

Nye told the audience a similar thing happened to him earlier in the day.

Maybe it happened due to global warming, or Israel's construction of new homes.
