  • When a dog licks his nose …

    … he is feeling uncomfortable! It is a clear sign for other dogs, but we humans don’t seem to understand it. We probably think that dogs are using their tongue as a handkerchief ….

    This is one of the reasons why, as an atheist or non-theist, staying silent halts or significantly slows scientific progress. Obviously there is no way I could explain why better than Neil deGrasse Tyson, an American astrophysicist and Director of the Hayden Planetarium.

    I can appreciate this advertisement. No screaming voices, no hollow text and no empty promises. Just “what you see is what you get”. What should be added, is the warning that only daily cyclists will understand and appreciate the humor !
