who else can't wait for the unofficial official HI banana holder!!

@Picholascage 7 лет назад

One of the best RU-vid channel. For me, it's a dream come true to visit The Royal Society, And meet Sir Keith.

@bobstephens5599 7 лет назад

Assuming he had a 50 year career, except for 5 days a year, he conducted on average one funeral service every day!

@RollaArtis 7 лет назад

I think The 'Banana holder' is a purse - but the style is earlier and used in the eighteenth century by men who wore breeches. Nelson had one just like this but without the embroidery.

3:24 - For a moment I had a flash of Chris Walken in Pulp Fiction.

@TheRealDoctorBonkus 7 лет назад

Brady, your new hair is nice and all...but I'd like you to have the same kind as Keith's next time.

@Noremaad 7 лет назад

It is clearly a decorative display codpiece. For their is nothing more holy than a holy man's crocheted crotch, complete with bronze embroidery.

@nab-rk4ob 7 лет назад

I sew. It's very good stitching, but not fine cloth as far as I can see from here. Or am I wrong? It definitely seems to be for practical use. I wish I knew what it was for. I haven't seen anything like it before in my books. What a beautiful watch.

@FlavoredCrayon 7 лет назад

Thanks Brady!

I just watched a five minute ad for Hyundai, because they were talking and redoing Shackleton's Antarctic expedition!

@gazzaboo8461 4 года назад

Woah, 18000 funerals? That's 2 per day for 25 years!

@MicraHakkinen 7 лет назад

In case anyone is interested in the actual book, "Essays on Darwinism", I found it available for free as an eBook from Kobo.

You never allow his standing and holding these watches above the tables and floors like that! He should only be allowed to sit at a table with padding's with elbows anchored and tilt or hold something at the surface level! ):

@ACyoutube46 7 лет назад

Isn't that portrait at the 15-second mark Henry Stebbing (1687-1763), rather than the unrelated younger Henry Stebbing (1799-1883) who would've been alive to receive a gift in 1854? Too many Stebbings! Great video either way!

@karlhenke91 7 лет назад

No, it's HENRY Stebbing!

@rastusbojangles 7 лет назад

banana holder? Brady, we know what you were really thinking..... A glasses case, of course!

@salmjak 7 лет назад

How is the text-outline effect done? I doubt edge-detection algorithms would be satisfactory on engravings, so is it done by hand? It's very neat and helpful.

@jaystevens137 7 лет назад

salmjak I agree! The Periodic Videos episode of World's Greatest Autograph Book uses it quite a bit. One of my favorite videos, with Keith and Prof. Poliakov.

@haroldgomez9784 7 лет назад

salmjak what I think is, a bit of Photoshop. Use of levels to brighten it to white(paper), remove the white and now you just have the text. Apply and outer glow on the parts that needs highlight and bam. Of course there's probably other ways of doing this but this is a simple one, two thing so maybe.

@BurnieBaker 7 лет назад

Fresh haircut, Brady! Keep up the awesome videos.

@francoislacombe9071 7 лет назад

18000 funerals in 25 years averages out at two per day. People died a lot back then.

@ObjectivityVideos 7 лет назад

Seriously guys... Any ideas what that object is?! :)

@Gwydda 7 лет назад

Well, you know, back in the day the were very innovative when coming up with materials for condoms...

@ShlebyC 7 лет назад

It looks a bit like Bananagrams... But my initial guesses were glasses case or a coin purse of some sort.

@johnchancey3941 7 лет назад

Objectivity - I was thinking a pipe bag, maybe? Was he a pipe smoker?

@locouk 7 лет назад

Objectivity Give it a sniff, if it smells like bananas, it was a banana holder. The other thing that would fit is a bit unmentionable here. 🤔

@AcidEric01 7 лет назад

if it was 3/4 full of dried peas/beans could it be for holding open his Bible on the lectern? or any other manuscript for that matter.

@johnchancey3941 7 лет назад

+Objectivity Did the "banana holder" cinch on one end, or was the opening along the length of the back?

@cykikvisage 7 лет назад

Is that a banana in your holder or are you just happy to see me?

@Braeden123698745 7 лет назад

18,000 funerals? Thats two a day!

@PinkChucky15 7 лет назад

The banana holder is nice but that watch is beautiful :-)

@farpointgamingdirect Год назад

25 years is 9131.0625 days...This Rev would be performing an average of 1.9713 funeral services each day

@steve1978ger Год назад

They also gave him 325 guineas, which would have amounted to something like 5 years of wages for a skilled craftsman.

@joemonster55 7 лет назад

I hate to break it to you Brady, but there is already such a thing as a banana holder... it's called the banana peel.

@EladLerner 7 лет назад

Why save the book for last? That was the most interesting thing in the video!

@DeathlyTired 7 лет назад

Is Mr. Haran suggesting the item is a Banana Hammock of sorts?

@jmalmsten 6 лет назад

Am I the only one who thought of Christopher Walken when the letters about how they got the watch was discussed?

@AKorigami 7 лет назад

Nice watch for $38!

@JimFortune 7 лет назад

The first item is a highly nonfunctional prophylactic.

@joebykaeby 6 лет назад

I see lots of jokes about the reverend needing his banana held, but where are the comments about his enthusiasm for happy hour? Seems like a, erm, complicated man.

@andrewknorpp9716 7 лет назад

I personally think its a marble holder

@ColdWithin 7 лет назад

wow. 18 thousand funeral services over 25 years is an average of 2 every single day.

Wait, Keith isn't a member of the society?

@Nilguiri 7 лет назад

He's the librarian, not a _Fellow_.

@Marconius6 7 лет назад

I know he's the head librarian, I just thought he was also a fellow.

@Nilguiri 7 лет назад

He's a jolly good fellow.

@nickbuttery7153 7 лет назад

Anyone have an idea of the meaning behind the inscription on the watch? 'May I number, numbered happy hours'

@iambiggus 7 лет назад

Making a point to only focus on the good times, and not the bad.

@paradauxio 7 лет назад

If you ask me objectivity is rather subjective towards the royal society smh

@Komier09 7 лет назад

It's a pun. They look at objects from a group of scientists.

@zayuh7500 5 лет назад

I don't like that Tomas guy

@paulhauron 7 лет назад

I can't watch Objectivy anymore beacuse of Brady's manipulatation of those old valuable objects in that way.. I don't know if is all okay actually but it makes me sweat always
