George Bush, within a week of this [the 9/11 attacks], in a speech, attempting to distinguish US from the Muslim fundamentalists, said Our God is the God who named the stars. The problem is: two-thirds of all stars that have names, have Arabic names. I don't think he knew this. That would confound the point that he was making.

When students cheat on exams, it's because our school system values grades more than students value learning.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Next time you're stunned by a large moon on the horizon, bend over and view it between your legs. The effect goes away entirely.
