In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, beloved astrophysicist/TV host/planetarium director/viral god Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted one of his trademark rhetorical observations about life, science, and the universe. This time, the topic was human intelligence (or lack thereof).
Cheery. Meanwhile, a Twitter user named Mike thought of the perfect question to test Dr. Tyson's willingness to acknowledge his own brain's limitations.

The reaction from Twitter was basically a supernova.

As it turns out, Tyson had fallen prey to the old "thought it was a DM" trap.
Of course, it was too late.

Here's hoping Dr. Tyson never changes (his pants).
