Bill Nye is currently in my office filming for his new DVD. He is actually here quite regularly.

My uncle described an eerily similar encounter with Bill Nye: This uncle lives in Seattle and ran into him while they were both jogging on a trail. My uncle stops and says, "BILL NYE! You rock! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!" Bill Nye responds with a giddy smile "Sci! Sci! Sci! Sci! SCIENCE!" as he ran off in the opposite direction.

At Cornell 3 years(maybe 4 now?) Bill Nye was invited to speak. They put him up in the dorm my friend lived in. That night when my friend was coming back to his dorm around 3 in the morning, he was accosted by a seemingly drunk bill nye who was doing yoga in the common room. He presented an inchorrent rant about congress to my friend for 20 minutes before my friend was able to break off the conversation. The surreality of the situation I cannot even percieve

I don't really care if you believe me or not, but I feel I must share this anecdote.

I remember at a science convention several years ago I was really tired but we didn't have a room so I crawled under this table to go to sleep. From what I heard later Bill came out of this room with a gaggle of fans and sits at the very same table to start signing autographs. When he stuck his feet under the table he kicked me hard in the side and woke me up. I guess he realized someone was under there but when I tried to crawl out he casually stuck his hand under the table and in motions that to this day confound me at their clarity in sign he told me to lay back down and continue my nap. Something in my mind told me I should listen to this friendly stranger and to my surprise he removed his boots and began to give me a back massage to rival all back massages with his very skilled feet. I slept for god knows how long and I woke up feeling more rested and alive than ever before. When it was all over I dropped a fiver in his boot and he disappeared into the crowd. I'll never forget his kindness.

In 2007 I lived right behind the John Hancock building in Chicago. I went outside to walk to the store one afternoon, and who do I see walking by the Hancock? Bill Motherfucking Nye strolling arm-in-arm with a scorching blonde beauty who wasn't any older than me.

I threw him a thumbs up but he was, understandably, paying his attention elsewhere.

Science rules.

At first, I read that as Bill Nye telling a story about his sister.

jeffarei · 5 months

that's how i would handle dealing with my (hypothetical) fans, without having to personally interact with them... and still have them think i'm awesome, if not twice as awesome as they had originally thought.

Bill lives around the corner from me in Arlington, VA and I see him every now and then at the local garden bar. I always want to ask him if we can make a paper mache volcano together because you know that thing would be awesome!

I met Bill Nye at a swing dance club in New York... He is a professional, apparently. His bow tie had planets on it: http://imgur.com/3ZfOg

Bill Nye is not the only Bill who delivers.

i really wish i'd grown up with bill nye.

you fuckers all still seem to love the balls off him, and he seems to deserve it.

OhMyWhatIsThat · 5 months

Sort of on topic: but he will be coming to my University in May, and there will more than likely be a Q&A at the end, I NEED to ask him something, but have no ideas. Anyone got a good question for him/something they'd like answered?

My Bill Nye story can top that!

I worked at a coffee shop in a shopping mall in Indiana. Bill Nye was having a special brunch at our coffee shop before he did a live show in the mall. As the brunch progressed Bill Nye starting to feel a little unwell, which lead to me helping him to our back room where we had a couch. I went and got him Gatorade. Then on my return held the trash can Bill Nye spewed into! I am still uncertain if it was food poisoning (what his PR people said) or morning still too drunk hang over!

I met Bill Nye once when he was with his family at the Franklin Institute. He was awkward as all hell. Therefore I am replacing said memory with this event. Merci.

My dad's friend interned at some studio Bill Nye was filming in. Apparently he has the "Woody Harrelson complex." I was sad to hear that.

That would have been an awkward 5 seconds if the elevator didn't close.

Ok everyone loves to circlejerk about Bill Nye whenever he comes up on reddit. Well I'm going to shit on the parade. When I was a young lad my sister and I saw Bill Nye in the airport. We got so excited and went up to him to see if we could get a picture or autograph. He was very cold and simply said "I don't do pictures" and left.

That's one way to avoid pesky fans.

In Seattle Bill Nye has a reputation for being a bit of an asshole to his fans. Not sure how much truth to it there is, or if he's been jerks to people who deserved it. The only thing I can say definitively, is he has the reputation.

GGBill Nye:

Doesn't have time to converse with a fan.

Still makes the fan's day.

I am Chelsea, the girl from the story. It is 100% true. Couldn't make this stuff up. Also, I was a junior in high school at the time. I can't believe I pointed and shouted at him, but it was literally a knee-jerk reaction (that he obviously hated). But, I mean, in my defense, you never go on a field trip to the natural history museum and expect Bill Nye the Science guy to walk past you in the dinosaur hall. Just sayin'. He did say hi to my nice calm mother! haha Anyway, thanks people!
