I wish I had these guys for my science teachers in school. Dr. Tyson bringing it everyday, explaining in plain English and Mr. Nice making us laugh while finding out how the world works. I would have looked forward to that class and gotten straight A's. I'm 53 and still learning, thanks guys for keeping it interesting and fun.

I am a glazier and we use suction cups to carry large plate glass sheets all the time. Thanks for the explanation of how air pressure works Neil and Chuck.
