Right! A solar system goes on your roof and makes electricity from the sun, while a galaxy is a smartphone!
I hate to break it to you, but "educated elites" don't use BC and AD at all any more. Now it's BCE and CE (Before Common Era. Common Era). Christ is out the window.
I'll tell you what really burns my @$$ --- flames, about three feet high.
What does Burn My Donkey....is a flame about 2.5ft High.
... When a supposedly "scientific" teevee show cites the speed of light as "186,000 miles per second," instead of the accurate figure of 186,282?
I mean, that last 282 miles per second does matter -- 282 miles per second is a little more than 1 million MPH.
Excuse me while I shake my fist at the teevee again. Grrrrrrrrr. :bang:
What difference does it make what the exact speed of light is; so long as you can do the Kessel Run in less than five parsecs.
Now, THAT really hacks me off! A parsec is a measure of distance, not time.
Whoah! Hang on a parsec! Is that true? It's distance? And I thought it was time for all these light-years...
Now for your next task; convert light-years per leap-year into furlongs per fortnight.
Show your work.
Is this common core? Can't I just talk about how it makes me feel?
Yeah! Or auto vs. semi-auto!

I'll tell you what really grinds my gears, pisses in me Wheaties and occasionally frosts my balls. It's that damn Pi thing! Who in the hell dreamed up that nonsense? Probably the same sadistic moron who concocted the square root of 2.
That's it! I've had it! If 74 decimal points is good enough for Hawkings then it's good enough for me!
I've always wondered if God was frustrated about that when He created the universe. He probably could have found a way to make pi come out to an integer, but it was getting late and He had to move on to other issues like getting amino acids to turn themselves into life forms.
Some of you guys need to get laid or something, got a lot of pent up energy that needs to be released.
I don't know of any scientific TV shows. Unless you count mermaids, megalodon, or VVVthis guyVVV as "scientific".:y:
I always love that show when they say "According to ancient astronaut theorists..." right after a real scientist has stated something.... Big guffaws all around.
I used to like the show as a stupid guilty pleasure….
