Bill Nye the Science Guy Passes Out "Like Lady Gaga"

When I first saw this headline in the "Most Popular" box at the bottom of my screen, all I saw was "Bill Nye the Science Guy Passes" and my heart collapsed into my stomach as I thought Bill Nye had passed away. Then I scrolled down a bit farther and it was all good. So it's good to see he's alright, and keeps up with his pop culture news.
...This happened at my school! This guy was the highlight of my after school childhood! I'm horrified! How could I have missed this?! And how come no one did anything to help him? ...
Dear lord, if I were there, I hope I would have the decency to help him. I personally hate twitter, so updating that would never take priority.

I'm glad to see he's okay. Seriously, if anything happend to him, the last untarnished remnent of my childhood would be shattered.
Stop blaming twitter or crying "oh, what is the wold coming to?!".
The fact that no one would react was to be expected, it's the bystander effect, or "Genovese syndrome". The more people there are, the less likely it is that any one of them will help.
Everyone expect that, since there is so many people, someone else will do something anyway.
Here's some advice, maybe it would help someone someday (and it can't hurt). If you ever need help, e.g. you're doing CPR to an accident victim and need someone to call for an ambulance, and there are people around you just watching, make eye contact and point with your finger at someone and yell "You! Call an ambulance!". You've just given him the responsability, in front of everyone else, to do what everyone was expecting someone else to do. Now, if he doesn't help, he won't be "just another anonymous bystander", but "that guy who was asked to call 911 and didn't bother".

Oh Bill... Glad you're okay. I just recently saw an episode-ish thing you made three years back for my driving school that I'm taking. I have to admit, even after all those times since his show was finished, he didn't quit his jokes. Trying to explain trucks on the road with a little toy truck on a grocery store belt thingy that moves the food along during checkout, and smashing eggs with hammers to prove trucks vs cars is just amusing.
You can't kill the Science Guy.

That actually pretty much sums this up. I mean sure, there IS a 500km (I think) mech and the kids fight off other giant robots in it, but the fights are short and not* really the main point. It's all about how these kids are trying to live their everyday lives (And each one is different) and how the world is starting to treat them. It gets really sad too because whoever pilots the mech is then cursed to die, and the kids know this as well and have to try and cope with dieing. Idk, it's hard to explain. =/ But I thoroughly enjoyed it myself.Ahlycks said:
Ehh, that doesn't quite sum it up either. lol.Ahlycks said:
Plus I never said the other mechs were aliens. >.>
And see if you like it or not. ^-^
