Talking to Bill Maher recently Neal deGrasse Tyson said that: Maher then says he hopes deGrasse Tyson is right and deGrasse Tyson says: Maher than asks (at 3:30) if that's what they have and deGrasse Tyson doesn't answer, just kind of bluffs and smiles and after about ten seconds of silence...

The BBC yesterday claimed that: A video of anti-riot forces in Iran sexually assaulting a female protester whilst trying to arrest her has provoked fury on social media. This latest video, which happened in Tehran's Argentina Square on Wednesday, shows a group of officers in protective gear...

Not trying to debunk "Nick Pope" - but what was his job exactly? I've heard it described as anything from "head of the Ministry of Defence UFO department" to "glorified clerical officer who filed things" and there does seem to be a general impression that he overstates his role and importance.

This has been explained by Snopes here (as well as elsewhere) but I want to add a few little details that I found interesting. The story goes that various news outlets reported that a "NASA engineer/scientist" had told Conan O'Brien about a NASA mastubation ban, whereas the idea of a ban and...
