I rewatch the series quite often, especially to fall asleep so I often miss parts, and 33:50 is the first time I heard a clarkson for Sandi :D a miracle!
It feels ironic that Rasputin was right about trying to persuade the Czar not to enter the war. Had Russia stayed out they would’ve probably been fine, at least for a little while longer
Maybe trains are different across the pond, but in Canada you would still be dead if you tried to lay as flat as possible. Unless your body and head were lower than the rail. The plow sits just above the asphalt at road crossings. Sometimes it scrapes the road too
The lobster bit is also misleading, while it is true that lobsters do not experience cellular decay like most animals, the act of moulting requires a lot of energy, and eventually a lobster grows to such a size that it cannot get enough energy to sustain another moult so it either dies inside a shell that's too small, or it gets an infection that kills it. So they can kind of live forever, but in practice, they can't and its very likely these super lobsters they were theorizing here never existed.
While I'm not going to invest a lot of time into assessing whether their research team did a sloppy job when it comes to gaze detection, at least with the overview of a couple of studies and diagrams, it seems pretty clear that both men and women look at groins. Women less so but they still do to a fair degree. I'm sure something could be said about Sandi's reaction to this but... I won't even bother. What I will say is that I'm not looking forward to the shows hosted by her...
Either I'm very clever. Or I have seen this before. Edit. I have never seen this before. This was just an easy episode imo. I do know a lot of useless shit. I'm feeling good, I always knew my "stupid lectures" are actually quite interesting. Edit 2. Naw, I probably saw this.
13:02 nobody quite got Jimmy's joke about the Queen bowing down. When I see a dog I can honestly say its balls are not the second thing I look at... ... nor are they the first.
You're seeing a 2D image representing a 3D space, within an actual 3D space. Perspective within the illusion of 3D space created by the 2D image always has a fixed point of perspective. Even the curving light analogy kind of works if you're imagining translating the movement of light into the illusion. Lee is probably more right than he's ever been in his life.
He's only got part of the picture. Imagine trying to get the same effect with a statue. You simply can't. In a 2D representation of a 3D object, you get no relative motion when you move around, like you do in a hologram. That locks everything in place. A 2D representation only works from one perspective, but it's not because it's the artist's perspective. It's because it's 2D The artist chooses a perspective, but the 2D medium locks it in.
I think Stephen was just done with the whole show, he didn't find it fun or fulfilling any longer. Alan said he'd go to his room, have a drink and a lie down and come back and say "I don't want to do this." But that was just something I read in an article, who knows the extent or validity of it all.
Actually, all letters were pronounced in old and middle English; that's why we have all sorts of silent letters in modern English spelling. So, in "the olde pork pie shoppe", olde and shoppe would have had 2 syllables. Further, pie would have been pronounced /pee-a/, that is, before the Great Vowel Shift that took place between 1400 and 1700. Just saying, . . .
"One's mama is of such stupendousness, that she'd rather sit on the television set and watch the couch, than the reverse." A jolly good one on the streets of New York.
Quite. Indeed, one's mama is of such exquisite corpulence as to ensure that one's nieces and nephews shall always have recourse on their birthdays to a bouncy castle, sufficiently capacious for a score and more of their young playfellows.
Giving cyanide inside of desserts LOL they clearly didn't know how it fully worked... Sugar stops cyanide from activating in the right amount and desserts have lots of sugar...
