Bill Nye the Science Guy showed off his catwalk skills at the 9th Annual Blue Jacket Runway Show—and fans are so here for it.

Bill Nye the...Fashion Guy?

The 69-year-old beloved science communicator made a comeback to New York Fashion Week on Tuesday, February 4, to show off his skills at the 9th Annual Blue Jacket Runway Show in New York City.


In the show, he wore an outfit designed by Thom Browne, a pair of black shorts that hung above the knee, and a navy blue bomber jacket embroidered with Greek gods and goddesses. He completed the outfit with black dress shoes and black crew socks.

Nye walked to the end of the runway, donned a pair of sunglasses and gave the audiences a jaunty salute, before sashaying away with a small step-ball-change dance move in the middle of his walk off.

He nearly lost his sunglasses during a turn he did near the end of his walk.

Still, it's odd to see your after-school science man (or during school, if your teacher was having a bad day) walking a runway.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

With the United States set to host the 2026 World Cup, a video out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is drawing attention for a very different reason: showing a man ripping apart an Iraqi soccer fan’s banner and telling them, “Don’t come to America.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
