Scientific Inaccuracy Turns Me Into a 2 Year Old...

If there is one thing that annoys the crap out of me, it's inaccurate science.  I can't even begin to describe how much it gets under my skin.  And, unfortunately for me, today the stupidity is strong in these ones (yes, I did just make an obscure Star Wars reference).

Last year I had a right little tantrum after discovering my daughters dinosaur sticker book contained dodo birds.  And when I say tantrum, I mean tantrum.  I griped on it for literally weeks.  I'm not proud to admit that my dodo tantrum exceeded my usual bitching via social media.  I actually put in a complaint to the company that made the stickers and have since boycotted them.  Why?  Because I don't want my daughter exposed to "blatant scientific inaccuracy". 

Today takes the cake though.  Too much stupidity on facebook from people, and then I came across a newspaper article talking about "Commet Ison".  I lost the plot. The combination of aforementioned stupidity plus the newspaper mistake was just too much for my poor little obsessive compulsive brain to take.

My facebook status currently looks like this:

Some peoples inability to differentiate between FACT and UNRESEARCHED OPINION infuriates me. Like makes me want to stab myself through the frontal lobe with an icepick type rage.

So, for the love of god, actually research before voicing your opinion and trying to pass it off as fact, before I rip my own face off out of sheer frustration.

And, in a first for me, I also became one of those people who leave annoying comments on articles about their grammatical errors.  I even came up with a stupid anonymous name:

I know people won't "get" it unless they're as OCD about science as I am (think Sheldon Cooper).  But right now, I do honestly want to rip my face off out of frustration.

Ugh.
