    In Rodin's “Thinker" the right elbow crosses to the left knee. Awkward. Try it. “Kiss” has issues too.pic.twitter.com/V6RwJg4VtG

        @neiltyson at least we can safely say the Thinker isn't tebowing. . .

        @neiltyson Time for Neil to speak with an art historian about creating tension in a figure.

        @neiltyson Rodin's figures, the Thinker especially, always embody strain and tension. He was never a romantic, that's for sure!

        @neiltyson awkward as it may be, (imho) better to be in the latter pose then the former

        @neiltyson The male figure in The Kiss is actually turning away from and pushing the female figure away. It represents unrequited love.

        @neiltyson Ok, I actually just tried it at my desk- you are right, it IS awkward. (Thinker, I mean, not Kiss!)
