Youtube makes you stupid
Most of the time I’ll ignore the crazy and stupid comments that appear on Youtube but while listening to Bill Nye on this video I glanced at the comments.
Oh no. It’s true. Youtube makes you stupid.
Gary Connery, wingsuit landing without a parachute
Gary Connery, a 42-year-old daredevil, plunged from a helicopter in a death-defying jump before landing in an area containing 18,600 cardboard boxes.
That’s a lot of boxes but when you see how small they are from the height he jumped from you’ll see how dangerous the stunt was and get an idea how crazy brave he is. Wow!
Thanks Matt for the link!
Vertigo sitting at my desk
You may have seen these videos before but if not make sure you’re sitting down and play them fullscreen. I promise you’ll go “WOAH!” at least once.
This is how you pop the question
On Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012, I told my girlfriend to meet me at my parent’s house for dinner. When she arrived I had stationed my brother to sit her in the back of an open Honda CRV and give her some headphones. He “wanted to play her a song”…
What she got instead was the world’s first Live Lip-Dub Proposal.
Damn onions.
Professor Father Ted
A probably mostly unseen and forgotten advert for season 3 of Father Ted. (via Reddit)
1:51 of utter cuteness
If you’ve had enough of SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, bailouts, the Euro defaulting, rising oil prices and the rest of the bad news you’ll enjoy this video.
By chance we have a Shitzu at home and a black and white cat (daughter of this cute little fella). They’re friendly but not like these two!
I expect this video will be pulled from Youtube just as soon as the copyright holder matches the song.. Oh well.

What is radiation?
Here’s the first part of an excellent talk given by Professor John McInerney, of the UCC Physics Department on what exactly radiation is, the different types, the effects they have on the human body and what creates it. Do you know where most radiation comes from? You might be surprised.
Early in the talk, John dispelled with the idea of non-ionising radiation being responsible for detrimental health effects. ”Microwaves in general are not harmful, including the ones in cell-phones and radars. Unless you cook yourself. If you stood in front of a 10KW radio antenna it would be bad for you. It would serve you right. That’s Darwin’s principle at work”.
The video was filmed at a Cork Skeptics session in Blackrock Castle last May. The second part of the talk goes into nuclear power and you can watch it above.
You may want a hug after this
Chances are you’ve seen this already because 15,459,413 people on Youtube have already watched it. What the hell, if you haven’t, take a minute out of your busy day to hit play. (via)
