Remember when we hated Neil deGrasse Tyson because he told us that Pluto was not a planet. It is. Well, now, he found a way for us to stop asking what came first, the chicken of the egg.
He says the answer is pretty simple; the egg came first. That is because another type of bird laid it. If it is a combination of two animals, then that does that mean it came from woman, who is referred to as Chick, and a hen. Get it, chick + hen = chicken.
If another bird gave birth to the chicken, then what came first that bird or the egg? Let’s keep going back until there was neither a bird nor an egg. Adam gave a rib for Eve, what did Eve give for the bird? Oh, an egg! Wait, does that mean I answered my question? Eve was not only the mother to Cain and Able, but she was also the mother to all the other creatures. My head hurts. They didn’t teach that to me when I was a religious studies major.
Back to deGrasse Tyson, now, that he solved that original riddle, to his satisfying, will he tell us why the chicken really crossed the road. I bet it was to get away from whatever birthed it.
BTW Can you believe that deGrasse Tyson and I went to the same junior high school and probably had some of the same teachers? Obviously one of us learned things, and the other one graduated because the teachers did not want to have her in their class again.
Neil deGrasse Tyson might be the Director of the Hayden Planetarium, but that doesn’t mean he has to be an uptight astrophysicist. Yet, if you put a dog in front of him, the 61-year-old becomes a big child again.
Isn’t it arfdorable to see him play with Eleasto? The only thing that would have made this video leaps and bounds in cuteness is if the sweet pooch was named Pluto.
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.
