People hate Bill Nye?
ZawashThe best Bill Nye bar none smackdown was dished out by Sir Isaac.

Bill Nye makes fun of Neil deGrasse Tyson's reply to Dawkins
Zawash*quality
Easy there, Nye - Neil stood up for you quite recently, so don't go dissing him.
Epic reply, though.
Asimov on Global Warming 25 years ago
deathcowLittle known fact but Asimov was cloned on the day of his death, and his clone is now 22 years old. The Asimov foundation payed to recreate (with pretty fair integrity) his entire upbringing, location by location and school by school. Just like his predecessor, the new Isaac is finishing his degree in chemistry over the next three years and is taking an interest to writing.
Asimov on Global Warming 25 years ago
Retroboy says...Isaac Asimov looks like Bill Nye goes full supervillain over the next 20 years.

Isaac Hayes - Chocolate Salty Balls Live
ChaosEngineI won the "chef aid" album at a quiz once. It's mostly terrible, but one thing stands out .... there is literally no song on this planet that cannot be made better with the addition of Isaac Hayes vocals.

Our Drone Future
Fausticle says...Hilarious! I would LOVE to meet the person who wrote this.
"In the future we will put a HAL like A.I. in everything and take away all fail safes because it will make everything better.Or will it? DUN DUN DUN!"
I think this writer might just be the next Isaac Asimov! I for one have been jolted awake by this razor sharp view into our dark future!
47 Ronin
00Scud00 says...And disagreement is cool with me, I often disagree with people who like musicals but I can do so without being a jerk about it, I'm just not into them. An active imagination is often considered a sign of intelligence and higher thinking. I'm pretty sure creative minds like Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, just to name a few, are not lacking in the intelligence or comprehension departments. Gene Roddenberry could be responsible for god knows how many people going into the sciences, inspired to make the future, he imagined a reality.
Lincoln was great movie and I'd be all for seeing a movie based on the 47 Ronin that was more historically accurate, but that doesn't mean I can't also enjoy movies like Pacific Rim. As for 300, the movie was actually based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, which I doubt was ever intended to be a factual account of the event anyhow. Movies like this one are, for better or worse a product of market forces and the society we live in.
Well, I guess we disagree. To me, the supernatural and magic are for those without the experience or intelligence to comprehend that they don't exist, or those that wish to live in a fantasy. To me, that mindset is infantile.
I feel that adding magic to a great historical story is like putting sugar on broccoli, it's done to make something good palatable to non-adults, but it ruins it for adults and destroys what was good about it in the first place. This is an adult story with adult themes and adult actions, it didn't need magic, dragons, or 'The One', and the additions only degrade and confuse the amazing facts.
Would you have liked to see a Muslim dragon guarding Osama in Dark Thirty? (I know, not a historically accurate film, I'm just making a point). Wouldn't you have found it out of place in a movie about our (recent) 'history'? How about if Lincoln had to fight a confederate dragon in Lincoln (not Lincoln vampire hunter)? I feel like that would have infantilized those stories, as it does to any factual story.

FantomasHow about Isaac Newton? His guess was 2060.
