It was for his own good. He did it out of love.

4. When they spent Thanksgiving together and even took a Turkey Day selfie.

But of course, they give thanks for this friendship every day.

And it nearly broke the internet.

6. But even better was how Neil and told the story of the presidential selfie …

Hehehehe he said, “whipped it out.”

8. EVEN CUTER THAN THAT (I know, you didn’t think it possible), is when Bill did an impression of Neil prepping for that presidential selfie:

Even though they’re wearing space-themed neckwear!

Neil deGrasse Tyson fact-checks ‘roses are red, violets are blue’ poetry, gets fact-checked right back!

Twitchy regular Neil deGrasse Tyson is at it again, this time fact-checking “roses are red, violets are blue” poems:

If rhymes were accurate:
“Roses are red, violets are…violet.”

For starters, Tyson isn’t accurate. You know, science:
Actually, we subjectively experience color and names of colors based on the light that the flower petals reflect and absorb. Also, not all roses are red. https://t.co/frYf5Ke0Sn

You imbecile, you moron. So many roses are not red. This is the dumbest tweet yet. https://t.co/dqufJRqXLK

Hack-tastic Neil deGrasse Tyson tweet sparks a hashtag: #TysonTweets

And what’s the deal with airline food?

Sometimes people just can’t handle how brilliant astrophysicist/Reddit messiah Neil deGrasse Tyson is. When he’s not making up presidential quotes or looking for venues in which to apologize for doing so, he’s dropping scientific brain busters like this.

If Detroit added a pro-sports team & called it the Bears, the City could boast it was home to the Lions and Tigers and Bears.

Dude. Mind blown.

This sort of heavy science has been known to spark a spontaneous hashtag game.

What The MythBusters Think About 14 Science Things

Vaccines? Climate change? Yup.

MythBusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman have been making things explode for 13 seasons.

But we wanted to hear what they think of some of the biggest recent science headlines, from the Jurassic Park sequel to Mercury retrograde.

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

Adam: “We’re big longtime fans.”

7. Mercury retrograde (and whether or not it has any effect on your actual life).

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

8. Climate change.

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

Adam: “Early on in MythBusters we went on Fox News and they wanted to ask us about the extremely vigorous hurricane season. As we were getting mic’d up, they were like, ‘So this is just a light piece. We don’t want you guys to talk about global warming or anything like that. OK, you’re on. What do you guys think about this hurricane season?’ Jamie’s like, ‘It’s clearly global warming.’ It was awesome.”

9. Naming snowstorms.

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

Adam: “I remember when Hurricane Gloria came through New York in 1985 or early ‘86 — one of those two. You get a personal relationship with the disaster.”

10. Rosetta comet landing.

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

11. Vaccines.

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

Adam: “They work. Stop not using them.”

12. Mantis shrimp.

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

Adam: “Oh right, the one that causes a shockwave. That’s one of the fastest biological processes in nature. Not sure where it compares to a jellyfish stinging, which is also ludicrously fast. They’re literally injecting you with a micro-hair of poison when you touch a jellyfish stinger. If you look into it microscopically, it’s amazing. The mantis shrimp is incredible.”

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

Jamie: “Yeah, I first ran across those in the ocean while diving, and one of my favorite things to do was to just go down and not run all over the place like most people do when they’re scuba diving but just drop down and hang out and go into spaces in the reef.

“There was a cleaning station that had those in it. These little fish were hanging out, and the shrimp would come out and pick at them. But one of the mantis shrimp came out and it has, as I recall, if this is the same shrimp, it has one big claw and one little one. And I’m putting my hand out, and it comes up with its little claw and it’s picking at you. Then out comes the big claw and Bang! It’s like an electric shock that you feel.”

13. Tardigrades (aka water bears).

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

Adam: “Life is amazingly tenacious. That’s the best part of looking at extremophiles like that.”

14. Grab bag: kale!

David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed

Adam: “Kale! In our house, we make kale chips all the time, which is baking them in the oven with a little hot sauce and salt, and it’s phenomenal.”

The season finale airs Saturday, Feb. 14, at 9/8 p.m. CT on the Discovery Channel.
