Meant to return to the blog tonight. Instead you get this interesting quote from Bill Nye:

Wired: Science and comedy seem like strange bedfellows. How do you make serious science funny?

Nye: How can you not make it funny? Humor is everywhere, in that htere's irony in just about anything a human does. There's all this PB&J: passion, beauty, and joy. We're just humans on this dying planet, and it doesn't much matter what we do. We're always setting up expectations, whether scientific or otherwise, and failing to meet them. That creates comedic tension. The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.
