Australian rocket science

Manual labor, especially any kind of digging. So called because Australians are also known as "diggers" and the implication that they are not very smart.

If you do not finish high school, you will end up doing Australian rocket science for a living.

Brain surgery huh? It's not exactly rocket science is it?

science fiction

Science Fiction is an adventure, mystery, drama (heck, any genere) that has some basis in a scientific fact or wild theory (faster that light space travel is a great example). The level of research, or reality towards the science determines what kind of science fiction it is. For example, Star Wars uses a few facts (or crazy theories if you prefer), such as the idea of FTL travel through "hyperspace"; but since it's all pretty improbable, star wars type stuff is considered "space opera". Just unplug your analytical mind and watch the pretty lightsabers.

If the science is sound and well-researched, like some of Ben Bova's (one example, there are many other authors) writing, than it's considered "hard" science fiction and calls on a broad knowledge base of popular science. Knowing a little bit about the physics or chemistry (or history sometimes) helps you appreciate and enjoy this kind of science fiction.

Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlefield Earth (the book) = "light" science fiction, space opera

Robert Heinlein's future history (Methuselah's Children), Ben Bova's Jupiter, or Asteroid Wars, Frank Herbert's Dune (a little fantastical, but the ecological background is neat)
= "hard" sci-fi

Scientifically Accurate Sonic The Hedgehog

A song created by Animation Domination High-Def and published to YouTube on July 28, 2014.

Lyrics of Scientifically Accurate Sonic The Hedgehog:

Science defines Sonic the Hedgehog
Runs six feet per second, but is nearly blind
Sonic the Hedgehog

Hedgehogs get cancer and rabies
Hedgehogs eat their own babies
Hedgehogs defecate while they run fa-ee-ast!

When hedgehogs find poop, they put it in their mouths
Mix it with saliva till lips a-foam
Then rub it on themselves

Science doesn't know why they do this
Why would a hedgehog do this?
They eat shit and then rub it on their ba-ee-acks!

Sonic's got a lot of pals
Cats, bats, rabbits, frogs
His best friend is Tails the Fox
But foxes eat hedgehogs

Knuckles is an echidna
They can't fly, don't have a punching claw
But they're known for having a four-headed dick
It's the only one like it
Scientifically accurate!

Sciencing

Sciencing is the act of doing science or SCIENCE! or even using scientific instruments for non-scientific (or non-SCIENCE!ific) purposes.

"I’m sciencing as fast as I can!"

weed science

University Degree available from Australia's University Of Technology, Sydney (UTS). Student's can major in;
1. Weed philosophy and theory.
2. Bong Physics.
3. Agriculture and Cultivation.
4. Cooking.
This is a fake degree eluding to the fact that you know your cannibus very very well.

Dude1: "Do you smoke up?"
Dude2: "Do I smoke up? Hah, I got my post-doctorate doctorate in weed science. I'm majoring in Astro-Bong Physics and they are sending me to the moon to see how a bong works in space."
