What’s weirder than Apple nerd/founder Steve Wozniak mambo-ing (or whatever that was) on ABC’s "Dancing with the Stars"? Bill Nye. ABC just unveiled its “dynamic lineup” for this season’s show and our very own Science Guy was on it. Bill -- a swing dance regular in his current home of Los Angeles -- will be cutting the rug with pro terpsichore Tyne Stecklein who, like Nye, will be making her "Dancing with the Stars" debut.
