Personally, I think a Carl Sagan vs Neil deGrasse Tyson battle would have been better. Bill Nye is a great guy but Isaac Newton is in an entirely different league. However, Neil deGrasse Tyson's appearance at the end was good. Who do you think won the rap battle? :smile:

Lol. Newton won!
I think Einstein vs Newton should be next.
:smile:
 
Einstein already fought Hawking. It was hilarious.
 
That rocks the world. Who writes that stuff..
 
Ah Epic rap battles of history - this was awesome, Newton rocked it. It was becoming a bit disappointing since the beginning of season 3, but this episode brought it right back to where it's supposed to be at.
 
Hahahaha, Nye vs Newton was weak because Newton killed it, but when Tyson came it I was laughing pretty hard.

Yeah. Most of season 3 is boring except for this episode. This is one of their best, in my opinion. :smile:
