It's like if Bill Nye was your nerdy buddy instead of your cool professor. I've never met the dude but he's on my list of people who don't know they're my friend.

This is really interesting because it seems to me there's a placebo effect. I know I don't know Hank Green but despite knowing he isn't my friend (but he totally would be) he still feels like it.
