  • Icecane - 10 years ago

    Why would he be booed?

    What? Are the people of Texas just really into moonlight? Real big moonlight fans over there in Texas?

      They just can't take the fact that Vampires would still turn into ash at night and that Were-wolfs should turn into mega-ultra were-wolfs in bright day.

      • Tuba Pony - 10 years ago

        Maybe the moon dust has something to do with the were-wolfs, and for the vampires, Bram stoker's Dracula did'nt die during in sunlight, just weakened.

    "poor texas. they are being insulted by spongebob"
    Now i think
    "Poor texas. You make even patrick look like Hawkings"

    As a Texan, I often wonder how a state with so many idiots can become the most powerful in the Union.

    Here is the full story for all who are interested.

      If this is true (and given that I can't find any authoritative or unbiased (note that the original article came from thinkatheist.com) source, it's likely not), they're both wrong in different ways; the Texans for denying basic fact, and Bill Nye for assuming that this somehow disproves religion. I mean, if the war on religion has been reduced to arguing semantics, I don't feel very threatened.

    The moon reflects the sun? So that's while it's more bright on a full moon. It's like a giant mirror.

      It is a bit amazing to me the intellectual gap you see there. As far as I'm aware, Texas A&M is one of the best schools in the country.

    God, I hate it so much when people think Texas is a bunch of dumbass, fundamentalist, right-wing rednecks. Personally, I hope people can stop lumping the good people in Texas with all the mouth breathers.

  • Ann Hiro - 10 years ago

    You know, I'm actually quite saddened people would just generalize the populace of Texas to be a group of uneducated rednecks. Seriously the people making these claims are no worse than the people showing prejudice against my home state of Texas. I would appreciate it, not to say anything if you don't have anything nice at all. I rather not report people for breaking some rules.

    Oh, it's something we need more of in this country. Yes, Texas is stupid, because all they could come up with is booing. Next time any popularizer of science comes by, get some torches and pitchforks.

    I know this meme is pretty old, but this story was greatly exaggerated. These events happened in 2006, and at least one audience member was ticked off.
