        @neiltyson things you might do if you never took Physics: tailgate. (basic physics should be required for driver's license)

        @neiltyson I am better off not wearing my seatbelt. Of course, I'm sitting inside at a desk. Like real estate: location, location, location!

        You know how many morons took physics? A lot. I went to high school with a shitload of them and most of them wore seatbelts. @neiltyson

        @dontforgetmac HS Physics != Physics, bud. That's like saying the intro to Journalism I took in HS is the same as J school.

        @kiddicusmaximus Oh, I gotcha. So you're saying you need grad-level physics coursework to recognize the benefit of a seatbelt?

        @dontforgetmac I'll concede that was an awful tweet by Neil, but what do you have against Physicists?

        @dontforgetmac he's very intelligent, which makes it so much worse. Dead horse meet stick, I suppose. Keep up the good work bud!
