In celebration of the glorious Neil deGrasse Tyson‘s day of birthday, we bring you this video clip in which NdT is the voice of Waddles in a lovely little show called Gravity Falls. In this Halloween special, aptly name Little Gift Shop of Horrors, Waddles is this pile of piggy cuteness riding a contraption made from what looks like a podium, an iPad, an toy airplane control pad, and Lite Brite board. He is normally not this intelligent, but this is apparently what happens when your pet pig gets into some brain-enhancing goop!

So. Friggin. Adorable. No wonder NdT is the all-mighty science communicator.

“Forgive me, my pig arms are cute and useless.” Excuse me while I go implode from this cuteness.
