- Poopoopants, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9*remembers tv show theme*
Bill Nye the science guy, Bill Nye the science guy, BILL BILL BILL. science rules!
Ah, good times. - snapple, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Haha, this is a pretty funny website. I like the ninja turtle one... http://xkcd.com/c197.html
- AggieTales, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The drawing doesn't have to be intricate in order for it to be funny. In fact it allows the artist to focus more on making the comic funny than looking good
- Junkyarddawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7This sums up every math lesson I've ever had:

(and, seriously, this sums up every Penny Arcade strip I've ever read: http://xkcd.com/c50.html ) - isewise, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Nye
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Bill Nye, the science guy
He had a Tv show and a series of education films to teach kids about science. Popular in the 90s, most anyone who went to elementary school then knows who he is - kingjokin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I ***** Love Bill Nye he taught me sooooo much. before i had cable.
- Noctem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Uhm, Bill didn't ask the question. The kids mom did.
- ardenr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I opened up the comments to point that one in particular out...
Don't worry about aHumorlessJew, s/he's... different. How the hell it comments on 80 stories while digging 11 I'll never know, but it's not doing much for stereotypes.
edit: Leonardo would totally kick Michelangelo's ass. Ever heard of the Michelangelo code? - sldSquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3He's the main guy from the wonderful series that brought you this: http://phasesofmatter.ytmnd.com/
The Phases of Matter have never been more exciting! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i haven't had a laugh like that in a while
- AggieTales, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The mom is trying to get Nye to come over and tell the science behind it, while he's on a lunch break
- kingjokin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2hey you know what? i may have had to much tequila but I ***** miss Bill Nye.
if youve never had Tarantula , give it a try. DAMN GOOD - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6thanks professor know-it-all.
douchebag. - D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://xkcd.com/c198.html
kinda makes you think... - freff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@soleblazer: "..the fact that this made the front page is lame"
That was my initial thought too, but then I actually read a couple of the cartoons, and laughed. And it was cool.
A digg is worth it if someone enjoys it. No matter how goofball it is. And, yes, this one was pretty goofball. Fun though. - freff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@AJRiddle
I think they ran into the problem of him being one of the more popular Ninja Turtles as well, and had trouble representing that on a pie chart.
...ok, now I think that I've put a little more thought into that than I should have. - freff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's also a property of lack of laziness.
http://xkcd.com/c187.html - madholepunch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1same joke, cafeteria scene
- Reziarfg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Inertia is a property of matter.
- dr00, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1we're gonna need another timmy!
- potterfan731, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's horrible...yet hilarious at the same time.
- AJRiddle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Thats just sad, Michelangelo is by far the most famous out of those (the real one) and they have him being more famous as a ninja turtle
- sparrowkc, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4anicejew, I'm calling you out for abusing the reply feature.
Blocked. - schmiggyjk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ok I am sorry but how is this Tech News? Shouldn't this be in entertainment or something? Other than science I dont see the connection, though he was on tv, doesnt that fit more with entertainment?
I miss the days when I would actually get good news on digg, now half of it is made up stories about run ins with the police, blog spam, or articles not on topic to the appropriate section... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7In response to Bill's question of why does ice crack when placed in a glass of a warm (or room temp) beverage:
"It is the same reason that you can crack glass if you heat it too rapidly (such as putting very cold glass in hot water) or cool it too rapidly. Ice is, as you know, a solid, and, although ice at its melting point (or freezing point!) is at about 32 degrees Fahrenheit, solid ice can get colder than that. I suspect the ice is colder than 32 degrees in your freezer. When the ice is put into warm (or warmer than 32 degrees!) soda the mechanical stresses introduced into the ice by the large temperature difference between the part in contact with the soda and the part in the middle make the solid ice crack."

- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1ehh...i guess it was kinda funny
- AJRiddle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1@ardenr
But who just says Leonardo and thinks Da Vinci? I bet just as many people think Leonardo Dicaprio when they just hear Leonardo as they do Da Vinci. There is only one person you can possibly think of when you hear Michelangelo, and thats the artist. - madholepunch, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2bad santa, anyone?
- Yarnage, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2He was in bad Santa? Where and who?
- Deathfrogg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0He used to come to the Tavern up the street from my old place when he had his local show first going here in Seattle. Was there to sit by himself at the end of the bar and watch himself on the TV. He wouldn't hardly ever speak to anyone, was a basically rude and selfish customer and acted like he was king ***** of the universe. The bartender would roll his eyes and mutter when ol Bill darkened the doorway, as he was terse and never tipped a penny. When he was there I drank at the pool table or the dartboards.
And he aint that smart, I stumped him several times. When that happens he goes from being basically unfriendly to being somewhat hostile. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Is there some sort of story behind ice cracking that's supposed to make this comic funny? I grew up with Bill Nye and Beakman.. but I don't understand what it is about this joke that people are digging.
- rtilford, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1who is Bill Nye?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3wow...
That really wasn't that funny. - 21.0, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Digg.com employees, all 18 of you, you need to patent the Digg Idea and then sell it to everyone else for their website. The Digg Kit! Only because I'm always trying to Digg things on other webpages such as those Cartoons and people's comments on other sites...
- RockMyMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1I think this joke works for anyone in the spotlight.
- soleblazer, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3I agree, the fact that this made the front page is lame
- zombietuba, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3And this made front page... why?
(Ditto with Dogmatron) - david050, on 10/12/2007, -8/+0I herd Bill Nye died a year or two ago. Is it true?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -14/+4That was it? How did some crappy stick figure comic hit front page?
Buried as lame. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -21/+8LMFAO!!!
... at the fact that anyone found that funny. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -29/+5Who the hell is Bill Nye?
