Sunday Comics

The Sunday Comics provided by the Dayton Daily News always has a section where the characters "Beakman and Jax" answer a science question asked by some kid and also provide a science experiment to illustrate the answer. This past Sunday the question posed by Natthaphol Boom from Bangkok, Thailand was "Where does gravity come from? What is the short answer?" They of course explained that gravity is the attraction between any 2 objects and that scientists are working on solving where gravity comes from. They go on by saying (and this is the kicker), "This week do a gravity experiment first done by Galileo in 1620. Galileo was a little like the singer Madonna. Both make do with just a first name and both seem to upset people with the stuff they think."

WTF?!?! What a horrible comparison! I have nothing against the material girl, I enjoy her music (preferably the old stuff), but surely these people could of thought of a more appropriate comparison for one the most famous scientist in history.
