Can he eat just one Hot Dog in 10 minutes? @StarTalkRadio’s "Playing With Science", the sports spinoff, challenged Takeru Kobayashi, the Hot Dog eating champion, to a Slow-Dog eating contest. [Video: 10min] pic.twitter.com/FtdXFjqLSV
Takeru Kobayashi has eaten almost 65 hot dogs in 10 minutes. However, Neil deGrasse Tyson wanted to see if he could eat just one in that amount of time. Therefore, the scientist asked him to try to accomplish that on his Star Talk show. Can he do it?
The competitive eater actually got to taste what a frankfurter tastes like instead of swallowing it whole. Did he like it? Nope. Therefore, he tried all of the condiments that people eat with it to see if it would get any better. It did not. So at the end of the competition, he still had a big chunk of it left.
Which means he can eat 100 of them without a bun in 1/6th of an hour, but he cannot stomach just one. I don’t know what that means, but it has to mean something.
Thanks to man, who went to the same junior high school as me, for ruining all things holy about July 4th. It is Pluto all over again. Stop destroying the things that I love.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the most renowned scientists on earth and also in outer space (minus Pluto of course), so does he think that we faked the moon landing like so many people claim? Yesterday, he shot a PSA for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and he does not.
Why? Well he is smarter than conspiracy theorists. That and we went to the moon 9 times. How many times can you fake it? Fake going to the moon that is. The special effects were not that advanced in 1969.

Even though Seth MacFarlane gives us shows, who some might say, dumb down America; he combats that by giving us one of the most brilliant shows on television that inspires kids to want to go to science. Not only that it reawakens our love for it. Something most of our science classes past elementary school do. At least it did for me even though I went to the same JHS as Neil deGrasse Tyson and probably had the same science teachers.
But it is not about me, I am just one small piece of sand in the universe and Cosmos: Possible Worlds makes me excited for what else is out there besides us. I cannot wait until the spring to see what else deGrasse Tyson is going to teach us about our universe in this Fox and NatGeo series. Because you know it is going to be fun. He has a great knack for making science interesting again. Even though he picked on poor Pluto.
When you think of science, there is nothing sexy about it. Even the biology of human sexuality is boring. Well, leave it to Harry Connick Jr and Neil deGrasse Tyson to sex it up. I got more turned on to listening them singing scientific words than when my teacher shocked me with an electric charge in chemistry class. And we were not even studying electricity on that day or that semester.
Seriously, if science teachers were more like deGrasse Tyson, then maybe more of us would be interested in science. Granted Neil and I went to same JHS, and obviously our science teachers had much more of an influence on him than they did on me.
Pluto’s dream crusher Neil deGrasse Tyson had some problems going to Dreamland, so he wished that LeVar Burton would read him Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. Then poof (almost 5 months after Tyson Tweeted the dream request), the Reading Rainbow host was reading to the World’s Coolest Scientist his favorite nighttime story. Burton did such a good, I am starting to fall asleeeeeeeeeeeee
Therefore, if you need help falling asleep, tonight or any night then watch this video.
