    • rollerboy, on 06/23/2008, -0/+50I think he single-handedly made me like science.

    • SocialPoison, on 06/23/2008, -4/+45Funny thing is I remember being really into science... and thinking he was awesome.

      Then I met him and asked him for an autograph. He was a bit of a dick.

      I was 8 and I'm still bitter to this day.

      • greenlight2001, on 06/23/2008, -2/+24You're not the only person that I've heard of who had a ***** experience with Bill Nye. The guy has a reputation for being an *****.
      • Blandyman, on 06/23/2008, -1/+7What'd he SAY?
      • kmcippant, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4I waited in an hour and a half long line once to get my picture taken with him, we were the last people and he was still nice to us.
      • Gobias85251, on 06/24/2008, -1/+2This made me laugh. He used to work with my parents at a company called Sundstrand in Redmond WA. They always said he was a bit of a jerk back then but I had always figured its because he went off and made a name for himself. Thanks for semi validating my parents.

        Either way, I still thought he was awesome as a kid.
      • obgynBBQ, on 06/24/2008, -0/+0Bill Nye came and spoke at our university. He was really nice there, but I hear his policy is not to give signatures.
    • mariofreak64, on 06/23/2008, -10/+0Oh god, memories of 7th grade science. AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!11!!!11!!!one!!!11!!!111!!!

        • doublebassdanny, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I am a decent speller but that word gets me sometimes. No idea why. Meh, fail.
    • diggystardust, on 06/23/2008, -4/+8"Our wonderful brain interprets something different than it actually is, but that doesn't mean it's made a mistake. It took the information it had and did it's best . . . job."

      I'm sorry but this just makes me feel like our brains are not so wonderful . . .
      • Ebulating, on 06/24/2008, -0/+12Actually, our brains are pretty incredible. Human vision is simply an extraordinary ability, even though our brains make guesses and shortcuts, it doesn't diminish the achievement. .
        • AKBryant54, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1Also, if you consider the fact that a human brain actually has the ability to consider its own death, you'll realize how *****' sweet it is.
    • griz, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4I want my own pair of big brass nuts.
    • rentmitchum, on 06/24/2008, -1/+3I think that was an example of the hollow face illusion. If you look for it there's a dinosaur you can print out and cut and tape to make your own, it makes a dinosaur that looks like it's turning it's head to follow you. Lemme see if I can find it... Ok it was a dragon, close enough:

  • Digitalicious, on 06/23/2008, -1/+90If I didn't have Bill Nye's sketch comedy-esque approach to learning to look forward to when I woke up each morning, I would have dropped out of high school.

    Bill Nye was the reason I stayed in high school.
    • macbookhair, on 06/23/2008, -3/+10Most high schoolers look forward to MTV wakeup instead... Well done.

      • Tallon29, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4Mr Wizard on Nickelodeon was great! I believe it was on each afternoon when I got home from school. This was in the early 90s.
      • ChaosProfessor, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2i remember him finding out a kids mass with a bunch of water and a 50 gallon drum i always wanted to do that
      • leerayIG88, on 06/23/2008, -7/+1I remembered Mr. Wizard would always try to much my wand... Why?
      • Jonez176, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4Mr. Wizard was only on at like 4:00am when I knew about it. Fortunately, I was able to watch it every day due to being about 5 years old and having infinite energy.

        Anyways, he showed me how to light ***** on fire with a magnifying glass and sparked my interest in science and engineering. Great show!
      • mudpuddle, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1Yeah, he was great. Poor bastard died just about a year ago.
      • MScrip, on 06/24/2008, -0/+2Does anyone remember Mr. Wizard using computers or taking apart an Atari 2600 joystick? They did some tech stuff on there. I loved that show!

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakov_Smirnoff#Russia ...

      If you knew the origins of the joke, with intended Orwellian undertones, instead of treating it like a 4Chan meme, it'd be funny. I promise.

      But alas, is not the case, and as htan pointed out, my shipments of fail have arrived. :'(
  • l815, on 06/23/2008, -12/+1Wow this is so old. I saw this on youtube almost a year ago ;o

    • Blandyman, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1Yeah, and everyone else saw it on TV circa 1996.

      We know it's old, Bill Nye hasn't been on there for 8 years.

    • Tallon29, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1The sound was kind of spooky. It might've made it worse.
  • S3basti3n, on 06/23/2008, -0/+23Next time you play GH or RB try this. Right after the song look at something else then the tv. The result is similar to the cloud picture.
    • doublebassdanny, on 06/23/2008, -0/+20Thank goodness someone else noticed this. Every time I mention it to friends they're like "Whatever man, get off the crack".
      • bagelmaster, on 06/24/2008, -1/+10You should take their advice. Crack is a horrible drug.
    • NolanRey, on 06/24/2008, -1/+4yeah, i used to think that i was just way too high so i never really mentioned it to anybody.
