        @neiltyson do you see a similar difference between sandwiches and burgers? Ie: is a burger a type of sandwich?

        @bumwees @neiltyson The difference: burgers result in larger piles of dead bodies than other standard sandwiches. ;)

        @neiltyson @jakegunst but of course. writing about not dead bodies wouldn't cause as much of an uproar and thus not be as profitable.
