Bill Nye’s Funniest Thoughts – A Relaxing and Refreshing Escape from Day-to-day Life

In an era when people tended to regard themselves as either self-important or being pitted against the challenges and disillusion of day-to-day life, not many people had the courage to look outside the box of what was regarded as “normal” thinking, and paint a lighter, less serious picture of the world.

Bill Nye, however, was one of those people. He was a 19th century columnist who thrived on good taste humor, and published numerous humorous newspaper columns that were later collected and re-published as books. Bill Nye’s Funniest Thoughts is one such book, depicting a series of 35 hilarious columns written in the somewhat convoluted 19th century style of the time which only served to add more personality and flavor to his writing.

Bill Nye’s work addresses a wide range of both trivial and serious, scientific topics, ranging from the distance between the Sun and the Earth, to his own school exploits as a boy, and depicting each scene in great detail. He delicately wraps each story into sarcastic comments and keeps us entertained using words that humorously reflect upon certain aspects of the topic at hand, while still keeping the tone seemingly sounding somewhat serious.

One of the funniest characteristics of Bill Nye’s writing style has to do with the way in which he is able to portray aspects of common day-to-day life that most people hardly even give a second thought to. Starting from something simple enough, such as the Ancient Greek origin of the word “anatomy”, he goes on to talk in detail about the topic and spin it around on all sides with an intuitive talent for finding the most humorous aspect of it.
