“The water’s all whale sperm. That’s why the ocean’s salty.”

-Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi

From Celebrities and science: The worst in celebrities talking about science in 2011

Other highlights:

  • “Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that.” - Bill O’Reilly
  • “I can not put this poison on my skin … I don’t use anything synthetic.” - Supermodel Gisele Bündchen on sunscreen

Not everyone is convinced that this report is helpful, though. Alice Bell is curious whether making fun of celebrities really affects public perception of science. I don’t know the answer.
