I am a male and I find the way the guys act in this video creepy as hell. I find this video more disturbing than the catcalling video. Not sure if it is real though as I find it odd that these folks gave consent.

A lot of people had problems with the science presented in Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar," but not Neil deGrasse Tyson. The renowned astrophysicist used his Twitter account to praise many aspects of the new film on Sunday night, including its representation of scientists. Warning: Some spoilers ahead.

Secondly, Six Hundred and Sixty Six in Hebrew would not look like scratches from a monster but like this:
The Greek version of the name and title transliterates into Hebrew as נרונ קסר, and yields a numerical value of 666.
I don't see this on the can: נרונ קסר
