Bill Nye, "The Science Guy" boo'd in Texas for saying the moon reflects the sun.

Bill Nye, the harmless children's edu-tainer known as "The Science Guy," managed to offend a select group of adults in Waco, Texas at a presentation, when he suggested that the moon does not emit light, but instead reflects the light of the sun.

As even most elementary-school graduates know, the moon reflects the light of the sun but produces no light of its own.

But don't tell that to the good people of Waco, who were "visibly angered by what some perceived as irreverence," according to the Waco Tribune.

Nye was in town to participate in McLennan Community College's Distinguished Lecture Series. He gave two lectures on such unfunny and adult topics as global warming, Mars exploration, and energy consumption.

But nothing got people as riled as when he brought up Genesis 1:16, which reads: "God made two great lights -- the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars."

The lesser light, he pointed out, is not a light at all, but only a reflector.

At this point, several people in the audience stormed out in fury. One woman yelled "We believe in God!" and left with three children, thus ensuring that people across America would read about the incident and conclude that Waco is as nutty as they'd always suspected.

This story originally appeared in the Waco Tribune, but the newspaper has mysteriously pulled its story from the online version, presumably to avoid further embarrassment.

*Looks like a few in the audience have some of the most brilliant minds of the 15th century.

So weird

Netflix Just Invented Socks That Pause Your Show If You Doze Off.


http://media1.popsugar-assets.com/fi...all-Asleep.jpg

Netflix may have revolutionized how we watch TV, but it's not stopping there.

Working again with Pittsburgh-based agency Deeplocal, the streaming company just released another do-it-yourself invention. This time, it's a pair of socks that detect when you've fallen asleep and pause your program so you don't miss out.

How do they work? Allow Netflix to explain:

We've based our sleep detection system on a popular method called actigraphy. An accelerometer detects when you've stopped moving for a prolonged period of time and triggers a signal to your TV that pauses Netflix. When it detects that you've dozed off, an LED light in the cuff of the sock flashes red, warning that the pause signal is about to be sent to your TV. Any motion will stop it from firing.

*A few of the hotels I've stayed in recently has this ability, when the sensors don't show movement for a certain period of time, the heat or the a/c returns to a setting pre-set by the hotel.

Hurry! Someone gets some socks for this sleepy pup! He's going to miss out on the ending of 101 Dalmations!

12 Illustrations That Are All Too Real For Introverts

Artist Maureen Wilson, the mastermind behind the series Introvert Doodles, knows just how you feel. She sketches out her trials and triumphs as the "quiet type," turning her daily life into funny comics.
