Neil DeGrasse Tyson Reminds Everyone He Is Not a Biologist With One Very Inaccurate Tweet


science biology neil degrasse tyson Neil DeGrasse Tyson Reminds Everyone He Is Not a Biologist With One Very Inaccurate Tweet

Neil DeGrasse Tyson made a lot of people (and presumably ducks, cats and bedbugs) angry with a much less than true fact about sex and evolution.  His claim, that sex doesn't hurt any species had many Twitter users jumping to correct him.

And you might be thinking, he's just trying to be positive about human sexuality and say, in his own pseudoscientific way that it's healthy and painless for humans. But... that's actually not true either:

Sure, he's a scientist but cut him some slack, he's not that kind of scientist. He studied astrophysics, how's he supposed to check his facts at all before Tweeting about biology?

John Boyega Stayed in Character as Finn During an Adorable Visit to a Children's Hospital


star wars win kids John Boyega Stayed in Character as Finn During an Adorable Visit to a Children's Hospital

John Boyega went to visit a small Star Wars fan at the Royal London Hospital.  As he explains in the image description he shared on Instagram, Boyega stayed in character the whole time: 

This little stormtrooper Daniel had a wonderful wish after seeing the force awakens. Daniel currently lives with a brain tumour and rather than having Finn to himself he wanted Finn to meet the kids at the Royal London hospital and give them some toys. I stayed in character while I was with this brave boy asking him what a car was. He taught Finn about everything earth related! Really thankful for the opportunity this child granted me and I'm just humbled! I hope I played a little part in making you smile young stormtrooper.

He even found a Rey to hold his hand during the trip:

"Nice Guy" Just Wants to Help Women Be Less Afraid, So He Left a Creepy, Anonymous Note


dating nice guys friendzone "Nice Guy" Just Wants to Help Women Be Less Afraid, So He Left a Creepy, Anonymous Note

A Twitter user apparently found this "nice" note taped up around town. Go ahead and read it, we'll wait....

Ladies? Do you feel safer now knowing this guy is somewhere out there? 

It turns out that almost no one feels that way:

But hey, there's hope! Judging by those horrified Twitter responses, there are many men out there who know respect, rather than offering to "crush the life" out of someone, is the best way to make a woman feel safe.
