That tie worries me. The only person I've seen wearing a tie like that in real life was a fully signed up member of the Aetherius Society. (I'm not going to post a link that will be deleted as crackpottery!)

I think the tie is great and I love Neil deGrasse Tyson! To the Cosmos and beyond!

Oh come now... He made a joke as recently as 2003.

Don't tell me it's time I learned LaTeX...

Dreadfully bad at making smilies though. That looks somewhat like a one-eyed mutant smiley.

The second comic is hilarious! I actually felt that way during the semester.

Watch new episode of cosmos, or do my lab reports...

My mom sort of makes fun of him actually. When I showed her Cosmos: A Space-time Odyssey she said something like, "Couldn't they find any better looking guy to host the series? Like the previous one, Carl something." (As can be seen, my mom isn't particularly into physics :D ). I think he's awesome though. I'm a big fan of both Neil deGrasse Tyson and Carl Sagan, not to mention Bill Nye the Science Guy.
