Thief! Plagiarist!


Years (decades?) ago there was a local astronomer who had a brief 10-minute or so show on the Philadelphia PBS channel. I don't know if the show was syndicated to other PBS stations nationwide or not. He ended each of his shows with the phrase "Keep looking up!"

I like Neil DeGrasse Tyson, but he stole that line, and doesn't acknowledge that he did so. That irritates me just a bit, and also lessens my opinion of him just a little, too.

C'mon, Neil - admit you didn't coin that phrase, and give credit where credit is due!
