An established astrophysicist, but more known thanks to his popular science programs, Neil deGrasse Tyson is a sensation on the web and a hallmark figure that has inspired many to question, reason and pursue science. It’s no coincidence that this is exactly ZME Science‘s mission and as you might imagine, we appreciate and greatly cherish Neil’s keynote and programs. One of the reason he’s so popular with the skeptic and science enthusiast community is his relaxed and humorous style of delivering speeches, as well as his witty and subtle bantering of ignorance.

Last week we showcased a very funny meme that’s circling the web dubbed #overlyhonestmethods. That was really well received (1,000 shares on facebook; thank you!), so we thought we continue this week with a new science humour post – you guessed it, centered around Neil deGrasse Tyson. We had a blast reading these macro captions in the office today, hopefully these will brighten your day too. Also you might consider a previous post we written that features Neil’s 8 books every intelligent person should read. Photos courtesy of img.ur.

DISCLAIMER: these captions do not quote Neil directly. These were made by other people on the internet. Please take all of this with a grain of salt and remember this is a satire.
