garfield Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thank goodness for Neil Degrasse Tyson - one of the, if not "the" most intelligent people on the planet. What does he say about syrup? Does it really flow faster in the spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornTeacher Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Neil Degrasse Tyson is the only person I know who can (and does) describe what the human body would go through as it passed into a black hole in space -- then finish his description with "...and I think that would be a REALLY COOL way to go!!"

xandandl Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Since all of these threads tend to move off topic, let's see how seamlessly we can move off topic when we actually try. I loved Crown's purple uniforms, so yes, I said it. Which purple uniforms, the pants, the stripes, or the early 90's versions as a parade corps?

skevinp Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 say a taxi driver objecting to picking someone up from a bar because their religion concerns You mean I won't be able to stumble out of a bar drunk, refuse to be picked up by any of the 99 out of 100 taxis available, and force the one poor guy who isn't to violate his own religion? If that is the case, then by all means DCI should deplete its limited resources by uprooting long term plans that it had otherwise concluded to be the best for DCI and risk its fragile resources searching for a location where every city, county and state law will be approved of by 100% of its fan base. Or we could be adults, respect the democratic process, observe what happens, and then IF there is a problem that affects DCI and IF it is not corrected legisltatively and IF DCI cannot remedy it themselves then they can weigh it against all other factors in making a responsible decision. Returning the thread to its appropriate off topic chain, I liked the Cadets show in 1999 and wonder if someone kept the taxi as a souvenir. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that from a YouTube video? I saw him mention that on one. I would love to see him speak - one of the coolest humans on the planet and able to explain things in a way that makes me want to know more.

garfield Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Carl Sagan admitted before his death that he did his best work while stoned. I notice Tyson's name has "grass" in it. A midget pointing at the sky and yelling "De Plane, De Plane!", and a stoned physicist named "De Grass" pointing at the sky, munching Doritos, and chanting "Look at all the holes!". It's all a little fishy, isn't it? Edited March 26, 2015 by garfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title of the book was "Origins." GREAT book. GREAT read. From a GREAT mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
