Resident of NYC and not yet vaccinated? Can now get a walk-in COVID Vaccine at the American Museum of Natural History’s Hall of Ocean Life. Apparently our Blue Whale is a bonafide resident of the city, and got the vaccine first, in her left “shoulder”. https://t.co/wCdyqZt1Yz https://t.co/bhNVvxKuX1 — PolitiTweet.org

Some of you asked: A quarter-pounder (pre-cooked) burger on Mars would weigh 10.5 ounces back on Earth — 2.6 times as much. But, apparently, watch out for the Fries. Mark Watney [Matt Damon] may be their farmer, growing poop-potatoes. https://t.co/caoGwYpwgK — PolitiTweet.org

How big is a Zillion, you ask? Not sure. But I think it's a 1000 times larger than a Squillion, but only 1/1000th of a Gajillion. And we have top people still trying to figure out the true size of a Bazillion. — PolitiTweet.org

@biancabonet1 @option8 @StarTalkRadio My bad. Gajillion it is. But add in the multiverse, and you get a bazillion. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidFromDavis @steak_umm An innocent derailment. Steak-umm doesn’t follow me, so they didn’t see my subsequent Tweet, which was much less forwarded than the first one. — PolitiTweet.org

@BobbleHeadGuru @steak_umm Thanks. I’m dating science as it’s now practiced, from 1600 onward. At that time Earth was exeperimentally and observationally demostrated to be round. — PolitiTweet.org

Fun with electricity… Depending on make & model, those six listed items (see previous Tweet) each draw between 1,500 & 2,000 Watts. That’s 9,000 to 12,000 Watts total). Since Watts = Volts x Amps, and the UK uses 230Volt circuits, to blow a 50-Amp fuse requires 11,500 Watts. https://t.co/Y32vOltK14 — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

@LukeInSoCo @RollingStone Startup current draws are higher, sometimes by a factor of two. But if you review the range of running power comnsumption for the list, you’ll see that the totals come out just about right for UK Voltage. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

If you plugged into the same electrical circuit and simultaneously ran a Toaster, a Hair Dryer on high, a Chain Saw, Lawn Mower, Leaf Blower, and a Winch, only then might you “blow a 50-Amp fuse” as warned in the @RollingStone’s (1969) hit “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

@ErikEvenson @mikestinctively @Againsttrollin @UFCFightHub @StarTalkRadio Excellent and important point. But I try not to argue word definitions in ways that over-ride larger ideas. For example, when asked how much of Earth’s surface is covered by the oceans, I presume your answer is not “none”. — PolitiTweet.org
