Celebrity comebacks Professor Brian Cox
A troll told Professor Brian Cox to stick to astrology but it wasn’t the slam dunk they thought it was and Cox’s A++ comeback was written in the stars
We’re big fans of everything Professor Brian Cox does so we were naturally excited to find out he’s writing a book.
Although it sounds like the kind of book which will require re-reading each page at least once before proceeding to the next one.
I’m currently writing a book, and as always it’s making me aware of what I thought I understood, but actually don’t understand, about physics. And I must say I’m cooling slightly on the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics – at least the way it’s usually presented in…

And we mention it because it came to the attention of someone called Gregg Stoker – @Iceyall on Twitter – who isn’t quite so excited as we are. Because they said this.
Maybe you should stick to Astrology…

‘Maybe you should stick to Astrology …’
And we’re glad they did – in a way – because it might have been an open goal for Cox but he still had to hit the target, and he did it with aplomb.
I can’t stick to astrology because I’m a Pisces. https://t.co/9ffY5aMr3T

Boom.
As a Capricorn I clearly don't believe in any of it

Oh my days Gregg the internet will never let you sit this one out.

That sounds a bit fishy. Reading tea leaves is far more accurate.

You’re gonna be a meme!

As a Gemini I'm in two minds about it

In the interests of balance and all that, @Iceyall later suggested he’d been in on the joke all along.
Yet another without a sense of humour…
