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.
Neil deGrasse Tyson has a special talent that can run rings around Saturn. He can lift his leg over his head and touch the moon like a really flexible ballet dancer. Showing the woman, who said to him on Harry Connick Jr’s show that he cannot dance, that he has a move that is out of this world. Like all the way out to my favorite planet Pluto!
Now, you know the expression, do not try this as home? Well do not try his move at home because it can leave you in a compromising position that you might not be able to get out of.
On Friday night, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Steven Tyler were guests on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and the two of them got to talk while they were waiting to appear on the CBS show. The singer asked the coolest scientist, how old would he be when he returned to Earth after traveling at the speed of light for a year. The answer is, we would all be a year older and he would be about the same age. Which might answer how he continues to look so young even though he is 67 years old.
This video is extremely cool to me because of personal reasons. You see I grew up in a place called Riverdale, NY, and both men lived in my hometown for part of their youths. In fact, both of them went to the same elementary school, years apart from each other, but still they both attended PS 81 (I didn’t) for a while. I wonder if the two of them knew that when they were talking about Space and time? Just think if they did, then they would’ve realized that if the voice of Aerosmith had spent about 15 years in a rocket ship, when he was kid, traveling at the speed of light; then they would’ve been able to go to school together. That is only if Tyler didn’t get expelled again like he did the first time. Can you imagine these two taking Science and Music classes together? The world would be a much different place. Maybe it would be flat like that clueless rapper thinks.
Some of us have joined the Mile High Club and know that the thinner air makes it more exciting. Well that and getting caught. But back to the thinner air. If it is that good at about 6 miles up, then imagine how orgasmic it would be at 249 miles. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun? It might be, but it is also very hard and not in a good way according to what Neil deGrasse Tyson told Matt Lauer today on Today. The host of StarTalk said, “If you are weightless in Space, you need a lot straps and things to hold things down. You learn Newton’s Laws of Motions, first hand, when that happens, and there is a lot of recoiling.” Then the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History added, “But then I figured some people have it strapped anyway.” So basically the only way we will find out about Sex in Space is if we send up a professional Dominatrix up there to set things up. Which I am OK with the new idea 50 Shades of the Black Hole.
Just when I think I can’t be more proud of the fact that I went to same Junior High School as him, his humor about this topic makes me even more proud. Even though, I am sure we didn’t have the same teachers, our JHS is where some (not that many) of our teachers prepared us for things like sex and drinking in a way that wasn’t so academic! Sadly, none of my teachers taught us about Sex in Space, it was an alum who schooled you and I on that.
