Neil deGrasse Tyson may be the smartest man on the planet.
The astrophysicist is definitely the smartest man on television.
But try telling that to Michael Hale, a Twitter user with the handle @dogboner who recently published a photo of "some guy using his laptop on the train."
Mr. @dogboner labeled this commuter a "Dumbass nerd" and laughed out loud at the idea of the idiot being online while also being on the subway.
That guy on the subway, as you might have guessed by now? The supposed "dumbass" who Hale finds so stupid and hilarious? Yeah. It was Neil deGrasse Tyson...
And here's the REALLY scary thing:

Carly "@CarlyCrunkBear" McKinney, whose handle says it all really, was a 10th grade math teacher who often posted images like this on Twitter.
