Strange that we still live in fear of the E word. 

 
Especially if you have one for over four hours! 
(Wait, what were YOU talking about?)

I once joked about that TV ad with my doctor. He said "it's not funny" and proceeded to explain what they do to you when you walk into the ER with a 4+ hour boner. I'll not describe it, because once you've heard it you can never un-hear it, much as I wish I could. Let's just say I've not joked about it since.

Tyson is pretty good.  Even if he isn't Carl Sagan, those are huge shoes to fill.

There's a story about Sagan that I'm reasonably confident is true.  Apple was developing a new operating system a year or two after the Cosmos series first aired, and the developers gave it the code name "Sagan".  They were contacted by Sagan's attorney who told them they were not allowed to use "Sagan" and that they'd be sued if they persisted.  So they changed the code name to "butt-hole astronomer".

Which was a better name anyways.

Interesting.  I saw an interview Tyson as part of the hype for the new version.  As a teenager, Tyson met Sagan and spent a day with him.  He even had Sagan's autographed calendar which indicated the date of their meeting.  Tyson does, indeed, follow in the great man's footsteps.

So he intends to sue that food merchant and we'll all forced to buy butt-hole astronomer chicken from then on?

Of course.  

Would you rather have butt-hole chicken or butt-hole becan?

That really sounds like the opposite of a win/win situation! 

Butt-hole becan--I wonder if that's trademarked, yet.
