        @neiltyson City buses might exhaust higher, but school buses still exhaust at the height of a 5 year old's face.

        @neiltyson If you were fast, you could jump on the back and ride them, too. Then you got covered in soot -- or blood if you slipped off.

        @AusTexAlice @neiltyson In college some of us drank copiously, and we survived. Doesn't mean alcohol isn't harmful, or that's a thing to do.
