Overheard


"The secret that scientists don't want you to know!!!"

Dude - have you ever met even one scientist? The people I know who're scientists are practically desperate to tell me all about their recent discoveries regarding the mating habits of brown marmorated stink bugs, or the benefits of longitudinal exploration relative to bi-lateral thought processes.

They're yelling at the top of their lungs, hoping someone - anyone - will listen as they describe what they've learned, and explain it in sometimes excruciating detail.

So, being skeptical is one thing. Pretending you're smarter than the people who are actually smart makes you sound dumber than you could ever imagine.
