I'm pretty sure that group would be smart enough to not just sit on one side of the table.

[–]goofygoobarock 2 points3 points ago

Or at such an oddly shaped table to begin with. Dodecagon. That's what they need. Or circle.

[–]y7vc 0 points1 point ago

If they sit on both sides of the tables, half of them would only be painted from behind and maybe even obstruct vision on the other half.

I want to put this as my Facebook timeline picture, but my very religious family would probably disown me.

[–]tinkady 4 points5 points ago

just did this exact thing

[–]Menolith 8 points9 points ago

...disowned your son?

[–]peaches_86 2 points3 points ago

Me too.

[–]XxRAINBOWxUNICORNxX 1 point2 points ago

Same here

[–]the_Milkweed 2 points3 points ago

As did I, I did

[–]takeouttherecycling 1 point2 points ago

also, me, too, as well.

[–]rdeschain219 1 point2 points ago

and me

[–]josezzz 2 points3 points ago

and my axe!

[–]ecography 2 points3 points ago

/r/atheism will disown you if you don't.

[–]-Tommy 2 points3 points ago

/r/atheism > family

I've always thought that that picture would make a sweet back piece in the style of christians who get a Last Supper back piece. You'd have to reaarange it so that the important people were closer together and zoom in to get any detail, but just the idea of it.

[–]Strmageddn 0 points1 point ago

Heisenberg looks devious. He's probably thinking about how he can produce more crystal meth. Oh wait..

[–]puddistar 13 points14 points ago

Where is Michio Kaku?

[–]-Hastis- -1 points0 points ago

Wernher von Braun would have been a great addition too!

[–]astrocosmo 2 points3 points ago

Not really. He was a card carrying member of the Nazi party (SS, if I'm not mistaken) and his innovation was merely in the field of rocket science, not the study of nature.

[–]schnitzi -2 points-1 points ago

Hopefully not lighting the candles, because he can't hold one to any of them.

[–]regulargabs 3 points4 points ago

why is that?

[–]mbaker13 16 points17 points ago

Neil deGrasse Tyson was included and you DIDN'T put him in the "looks like we got a badass" spot?!?!

[–]-Tommy 0 points1 point ago

And he should be switched with Einstein

[–]jtfine 4 points5 points ago

I'd prefer not to be seated next to Marie Curie, or her drink.

[–]bracomadar 0 points1 point ago

Marie Curie voted for Hubert Humphrey...and she killed Jesus.

[–]Im_ok_youre_ok 3 points4 points ago

No Richard Feynman?

[–]Keine 1 point2 points ago

Who's the guy between Edison and Tyson?

[–]theresnogodgetoverit 3 points4 points ago

Aristotle

[–]oaktown8410 1 point2 points ago

I think that's Tesla, not Edison. The original had Edison, but I like this version much better.

[–]theboneykingofnowher 2 points3 points ago

I don't think it's fair to not have included Archimedes.

[–]alibong0[!] 3 points4 points ago

Where the FUCK is Feynman you monster

[–]bennythewop 0 points1 point ago

Someone needs to bring the strippers. And another Nobel Prize.

[–]DutchmanDavid 0 points1 point ago

Calm down, OP probably didn't make it.

[–]the--dud 3 points4 points ago

Clearly Da Vinci would have sat in the middle.

Einstein was clever but Da Vinci was the fscking man. The only person to be classed as a "immeasurable genius". Painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer... Supposedly he was "a man who was tall, athletic and extremely handsome" too. Basically every other human sucks compared to Da Vinci ok?

In fact to further illustrate my point: Da Vinci painted the original and he could still be in this "scientists" version! (Mind BLOWN!)

[–]regulargabs 0 points1 point ago

Specially if the hypothesis of him faking the Turin's shroud turned out to be true. He would be the most successful troll of all times.

[–]chutoduro 2 points3 points ago

Can someone please write down all the names please (Forgive my ignorance) but there area a few i don't recognize?? (by faces i mean)

[–]chutoduro 0 points1 point ago

Thanks. But they should have put Tesla too!

[–]GearsOfZelda 2 points3 points ago

Where's bill nye?

[–]KamiKagutsuchi 2 points3 points ago

No Richard Feynman? Sounds like a terrible party to me. I am out.

[–]nybo 2 points3 points ago

Not sure i would attent this dinner, Curie brought her samples...

[–]shaerehugo 2 points3 points ago

Where is Richard Feynman when you need him!

[–]k1rb 4 points5 points ago

Upvote for Tesla sir.

[–]killabydemand 4 points5 points ago

Does this mean that Louis Pasteur, who sits where Judas would be, betrays Einstein and sells him to the Romans?

Fuck, Pasteur is a dick!

[–]BrobaFett 1 point2 points ago

Actually, Newton is probably a better choice, given the fact that his body (even though he's in the right seat) looks a little closer to where Judas' was in the original (off to the left of the three).

He's also clutching the apple (much like judas was clutching the silver)

And, as simpletonsavant mentioned, he's the most religious/nutty out of most of them.

[–]Teotwawki69 4 points5 points ago

Newton is definitely in the Judas spot. But, as you say, he spent the latter half of his life religiously insane, so he's the most likely suspect to have betrayed Einstein.

Plus, Einstein is the dude who proved that Newton wasn't totally correct, so that 17th Century bastard had motive to betray Einstein, as well.

[–]Kupkin 0 points1 point ago

Too much calcium. makes people all crazy like.

[–]simpletonsavant 4 points5 points ago

Issac Newton was a religious nut job.

[–]BrobaFett 2 points3 points ago

Incidentally he's taking the seat that Judas Iscariot takes in the original painting...so... PROVIDENCE?

[–]simpletonsavant 0 points1 point ago

Thanks, Morpheus.

[–]TheHated[!] 20 points21 points ago

And with Edison in place of Tesla...Fuck Edison.

[–]-Exstasy 9 points10 points ago

Came to say this. what the fuck

[–]dobravka -1 points0 points ago

seriously? it is Tesla next to Sagan, i dont know where you're looking

[–]OmanRunYo[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thank you!

[–]timlocksmash 1 point2 points ago

Had to zoom in twice to see that it was Einstein and not Shepherd Book in the middle.

[–]doom_bagel 1 point2 points ago

Can we get Gregor Mendel in there?

[–]YouLikaDaJuice 1 point2 points ago

Gotta say it:

Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn't deserve a spot there any more than bill nye would.

[–]packerbacker1221 0 points1 point ago

NDT doesn't take up half your class time with his annoying theme song though

[–]slash196 0 points1 point ago

Annoying? BE YE GONE

[–]ifoxhound05 1 point2 points ago

Where is bill bye.. This is unacceptable! Slanderous!

[–]spacitron 1 point2 points ago

I don't think I'd attend. I don't like to feel like the idiot in the room.

[–]packerbacker1221 1 point2 points ago

Hey dummie, this is reddit, Neil Tyson is king of kings here, put him in the middle

[–]valereea93 0 points1 point ago

this is true, it might even be time for a new reddit mascot. screw the alien! get NDT up in here!

[–]Kgyantixbc 1 point2 points ago

I didns see hitch. WHAT HAPPENED TO HITCH.

[–]Valendr0s 1 point2 points ago

Hell yes. And I'd sit there and not make a sound, just listen to the conversation. Just record the whole thing. I'm pretty sure in that group Neil Degrasse Tyson and Carl Sagan would also stay silent and just listen.

Of course that assumes that Neil hasn't exploded with glee from being 6 seats down from his hero...

[–]snarfalottapus 0 points1 point ago

Facebook just converted me to the timeline.. this should help with that merciless friend cut I've been itching to do.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

I made this picture my 'cover photo' thing. I lost soooo many friends, it was beautiful.

[–]Kupkin 0 points1 point ago

Just made it mine.

And now we wait.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Seriously, it worked well for me. Although I do have one friend who is already a classified fundie lunatic, unfortunately she didnt unfriend me. :(

[–]RustyRussell 2 points3 points ago

Thank you for the Facebook cover!

[–]SiirPatron 2 points3 points ago

How is Christopher Hitchens not here...

[–]furryspoon 2 points3 points ago

Yes, somebody needs to edit him in. Replace the one that looks like Jesus.

[–]valereea93 0 points1 point ago

agreed.

[–]welliamwallace 0 points1 point ago

wha... what?! I belong in this picture more than Christopher Hitchens does. He has nothing to do with science.

[–]GSUkent 0 points1 point ago

These guys would be talking soo over my head. You know if they all got together they wouldn't "dumb it down" for us non-physicists/geniuses.

[–]obi1andkobe 0 points1 point ago

Where can I get this in a frame, for my household? This is motivating.

[–]SlackAdder1208 0 points1 point ago

Tycho Brahe you gold nosed hedonistic legend.

[–]Dutch_Socialist 0 points1 point ago

This has been my desktop background at work since I last saw it posted on /r/atheism a month ago.

Who's going to feed Hawking?

[–]edcellwarrior 0 points1 point ago

New Facebook timeline? I think so!

[–]Mackeja 0 points1 point ago

Fuck yes

[–]King_smiley 0 points1 point ago

It needs more Nietzsche, methinks.

[–]reenact12321 0 points1 point ago

who let Marie Curie in here?!.... oh jeez I can feel the cancer already!

[–]ninomojo 0 points1 point ago

I upvoted every single person who asked where the heck was Richard Feynman.

[–]Cazum8 0 points1 point ago

Watch out we got a badass over here!

Last supper

[–]Nayr39 0 points1 point ago

Can someone list them from left to right? I'd appreciate it.

[–]orp0piru 2 points3 points ago*

Galileo, Curie, ?, Newton, Pasteur, Hawking, Einstein, Sagan, Tesla, ?, deGrasse Tyson, Dawkins, Darwin

[–]ThePantheistPope 1 point2 points ago

J. Robert Oppenheimer and Aristotle

[–]ikacer 1 point2 points ago

That's Edison and not Tesla.

[–]play_the_damn_thing -1 points0 points ago

Why the hell wasn't Bill Nye invited??

[–]KUjayhawker -2 points-1 points ago

Y u leave Bill Nye out?

[–]-Exstasy -1 points0 points ago

Is that Tesla? I'm in.

[–]Kerouwhack -1 points0 points ago

Hitchens?
