Um actually, the full length only passes through the anvil. Only the end of the sword is in the stone. If the full length ran through both the stone would have to be inside the anvil (or vice versa)
Um, Actually, Heart was also shown (in one of the tie-in comics) to be capable of just straight-up *brainwashing* people, which is why Ma-Ti was the one entrusted with it, since he wouldn't abuse that power.
Um actually, the ring of Heart is *not needed* to summon captain plantet at all! But if the beam of heart fails to find its mark in the process of summoning him, he has nearly the same amount of power, he's just also a heartless bastard
@@samgittins5990 I mean... How do you know I didn't open the OSHA violations video in another tab and checked the spelling? I'm not trying to belittle you or anything, I just feel like you being in awe is giving me way too much credit. I'm really not worthy.
Um actually, based on the dimensions of the sword in the stone, it would seem to go all the way through the anvil and into the stone beneath it. Which would make it, indeed, a sword in the stone.
@@g.p.s-yourfunishere6635 because in any universe where metalworking has gotten to the point where you can create a sword, using a rock as a anvil is dumb as hell😂 so id say we can assume its not made of stone but thats just me
@JubioHDX unless it was made as style choice, and because it was never inteaded to be used as a proper anvil. Or even cooler, what if in a world were magic exist, maybe the stone anvil once helped forged the magic into the sword! Like it was a necessary focus of ancient earth magic, so it's made of stone shaped as an anvil to be used as a tool! Thay be pretty dope
Odd thing to be proud of. YES, thousands of years of a human line ENDS with me- NOT on accident, but because children are like “ew” annoying… like in that one baby Mario game. To each their own, better to know you are to selfish to be a mom then be a mom who hates a kid but still… Weird flex.
Umm actually, while it is stated that Q and Lady Q are in a relationship they never say they're married. In fact Q states their relationship is non-exclusive.
If I may, a small correction, plus a bonus. Um, actually, *Miss Q (not "Lady"). Q's son is known as "Q Junior." Q refers to him as such in the same episode as he was introduced to Captain Janeway, as well as one other time afterwards.
Q wasn't even in the original final script for "Encounter at Farpoint," until the executives at Paramount decided that they wanted a two hour premiere instead of a regular sized one hour first episode. To stretch the episode out they decided to add Q's plot. And when they thought up Q he was going to be several different members of the Q continuum all with the same "A Form You Are Comfortable With" face, switching each time he disappeared & reappeared including when he changed uniforms, which is why he acts so different when the costume switches happen.
Not really. That's why vaccines are so important, because we're trying to not just cure people who have COVID, but eradicate (or at least decimate) the virus in the wild.
@@IceMetalPunk I believe in this case, the game means by cure, they invent the vaccine, but don't actually take the time to distribute it everywhere (since you'd run out of cards by then)
@@IceMetalPunk true. But irradiation of viruses is suuuuuper hard with many easily spread viruses. So in the case of a pandemic level virus, most of the time getting the cure and reaching herd immunity levels is the best that can be done.
@@Variocom True, but with a high enough vaccination rate and an effective enough vaccine, that alone can eradicate a virus. It worked for polio and smallpox :D
This is one of my favorite episodes of Um, Actually because the contestants are 1. Funny and 2. Competitive knowledge-wise. Everybody seems to be having fun and actually know some aspect of nerd culture. It's nice having funny people on, but if they don't get many questions right, it kind of deflates my enjoyment. Good episode all around.
Um, actually, The Sword in the Stone isn’t a separate book from The Once and Future King. It’s the first part of that book, which collects The Sword in the Stone, The Queen of Air and Darkness, The Ill-Made Knight, and The Candle in the Wind into one volume.
Um, actually, Nintendo always maintained that they had an internal timeline for the Zelda games, but had said they wanted players to focus on the gameplay, not the continuity, which is why they delayed releasing it until fan demand caused them to publish it in Hyrule Historia. About to go into full nerd mode, but back in 2002 I did a school project where I proved that they 100% knew that there would be a three-way split in the timeline by the time OoT was released. Let's look at three points of evidence: 1) Ocarina was billed as a prequel to A Link to the Past upon release. 2) Ocarina _has_ to be a prequel because so many events described in the Sealing War backstory In ALttP occurred in OoT (Ganon's previous identity as the thief Ganondorf, for starters). And 3) Ocarina _can't_ be a prequel to ALttP because in the Sealing War, Ganon was sealed in the Golden Land in possession of the entire Triforce (and he still has it as seen in the game's ending), while he was sealed with only 1 piece in OoT's ending. That means that there had to be a third ending that we never got to see. An ending where he was able to take the other two pieces from Link and Zelda. In other words: OoT had hidden lore everyone missed for _years._ Also, um, actually, there was a _third_ mistake in that statement that wasn't addressed, that is what sparked this whole rant which is that the unified Zelda timeline wasn't the version already released, it was this idea of a single timeline that contained all of the games. It lost steam in the aftermath of Wind Waker, and the original split timeline theory (which only had two branches, child and adult) became more popular. That's why the fans got so pissed about the downfall timeline, literally 99.9% of the fans were proven wrong. Because, again, they missed the hidden lore. /End Rant
I searched for this comment knowing the few key issues they did miss in the episode. Thank you for the rant it's always nice to find another Zelda nerd who knows way too much about the lore lol. Random side note my favorite part of Hyrule Historia is them finally showing us why Zelda and Link are constantly being reborn in all three timelines with no memories of past lives.
Isn't also an error to say that all Zelda games are in one timeline ? Because I saw somewhere that Breath of the wild was in a complete other timeline than the rest
@@bryanmoreau59215 There are actually several Zelda games not on the timeline. BotW isn't (as of yet we don't know where or if it falls on the timeline, is in it's own or, my personal theory, is a merging point where the timelines will essentially reset), the Japan exclusive satelaview games aren't and the Phillips cdi games aren't, since Nintendo's official stance on those is "we don't talk about the cdi games."
Okay, #UmActually, the reason why an anvil is called a “stone” for the purposes of both the book & movie titles is anvils were first made OF stone, followed in later years/centuries with bronze, wrought iron & finally steel.
Umm actually, Terry Pratchett was an English writer, so therefore 'The Colour of Magic' would be spelt with a U and only be 'The Color of Magic' in localised versions.
Americans do have the tendency to think the way they pronounce/write things is the only correct one, even if the said thing is from another language originally
@@felipearaujodominici3057 FUN FACT: America spells weird because printing presses charged by the letter, so to save money letters deemed unnecessary for 'the read pronunciation' (theres a word for this but I don't remember what it is right now) were removed.
Um actually even if it's only 'The Color of Magic' in localized versions then that still means that it is the title of a book, just not the original title. Therefore you aren't really correcting a mistake and are just providing additional information.
I can't believe how little respect Ma'ti still commands even with the power of hindsight, that none of them remembered that the Heart ring enabled *communication with each other from anywhere in the world*.
Also, in-universe it wasn't called that because it's an anagram of Doctor Who. Queen Victoria was just looking at a torch when she named it. Out of universe, sure, that's how they got the name, but the question was referencing in-universe logic.
@@CrashSable NO, she named it that due to the name of the estate where she decided that Britain needed to be protected from aliens... she is also a space werewolf (Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 2 Tooth and Claw)
Uhm, Actually, Carriage bolts are primarily characterized by the length of the shank that is square immediately beneath the head. While most carriage bolts do have a shoulder (unthreaded bit), not all of them do. Carriage bolts are primarily used in fastening situations which require either a low profile head, or when only one side is accessible during the fastening process
Um, actually I came into the comments for exactly this. And um, actually, it's not that just one side is accessible when fastening, but when fastened, like on doors.
Um, Actually, Mark Hamill was cast as the Joker AFTER playing the very similar Trickster in the live action Flash TV show in 1991. So he was still being typecast.
Um actually, I don't think it's possible to be typecast as two different things at once. Additionally, since Batman and The Flash are related properties, I think it's brand synergy more than anything.
@@jameszetterman4487 Fair, I was more rebutting the idea that his casting as the Joker was a stroke of genius. I do think you can be typecast as two things though. My mother is an actress and she tends to get cast as housewives and witches.
@@thegreatandterrible4508 I think "mother" is far too broad a role to count as typecasting and doesn't really compare to "Luke Skywalker" in terms of specificity.
Um actually, Shane is technically correct given the question - in Neon Genesis Evangelion, the _only giant robot that exists in the series is not piloted by teenagers._ Jet Alone is piloted by computer.
This is hard, but Jet Alone is not technically an Eva, but a robot meant to replace the Evas. There could be an argument that the plugs are complex AI's and therefor not actually teenagers, but they are basically replicas of the teenager consciousness, so it gets more complicated to say "not piloted by a teenager."
@@AzureAzreal As stated by Erika and confirmed by Trapp, Evas are not giant robots which is what is wrong with the question. Shane is therefore correct in his statement given what is wrong in the question - _the giant robot_ in the series is not piloted by teenagers.
@Zahaqiel though I think it is kind of you to give Shane the benefit of the doubt, the words "giant robots" were clearly qualifiers for Evangelions. Even Shane says "not all the pilots" - the key being plural - "were teenagers." Since Jet Alone is the only "giant robot" that could have been referred to - although was clearly not being referred to, as the Evas not being giant robots was the correct answer - there would only have been one pilot, that of Jet Alone itself. So I don't think that Shane would win the point, even semantically. Maybe had he said "there was no pilot" it could have earned a point, but I think even Shane himself would say that he was speaking of the Evas, not Jet Alone.
@@AzureAzreal Jet Alone was a team effort, and it feels rude to pretend that it wasn't. And given how many accidental half-answers get points, Shane deserves that point for falling backwards into it.
@Zahaqiel I'm confused about the rude part as the game is made for technicallities like this. Regardless, are you saying it would be right to take Erika's point away to give it to Shane for the Eva question? Because I just think that would be the wrong thing to do. I feel like Track would say, "though what you said is technically true it doesn't correct the part that's wrong in this statement." Still think it's awesome to remember Jet Alone! But I don't think Erika should lose the point for it.
Interestingly, it's spelled without the U on my copy. Granted mine is an American copy, but I still expected _that_ of all things wouldn't need to be localized. Hm...
Um, actually, the sword’s length when released from the anvil shows that the blade had been inserted deeply enough to fully penetrate the anvil and enter the stone, the anvil was likely there to force potential kings to pull straight up so as to prevent the blade from being snapped by a brute yanking it the wrong way or jiggling it around and freeing the blade by breaking the stone around it. It would also make it much heavier, likely to the point that no human could just wield the whole thing and smash the sword free. Logistically, there were a number of ways someone unworthy could’ve separated the sword and the stone, and the anvil prevented at least a couple
There are plenty of boulders in Norway that were used as anvils. And, a large stone makes a reasonable one in a pinch (although obviously an iron [usually cast steel, now, and historically iron with a forge-welded face of hard steel] one is better).
Um, actually, a stone anvil works pretty well if you can't get an iron one. There's early ironworking sites with stone anvils, and the channel "How to Make Everything" has been making iron tools on stone anvils.
It feels like they ratcheted up the difficulty on the questions in this episode. I think I approve. In any case, this continues to be a very fun gameshow! Keep up the good work!
I actually had my head away from the screen for the sound clip part. When I heard the Sonic water death sound, I clenched in dread and went "oh no!" at the screen. I feel you Mike.
Um, actually, carriage bolts are defined by the smooth rounded head, and a (usually square) feature between the head and the shank that allows for driving the bolt, or seats into wood to keep the bolt in place while a nut is driven onto the other end. The smooth portion of the shank is common in many types of fasteners, including wood screws, hex bolts, and carriage bolts.
@@IfIHadMyTimeAgain They have a history of using the term supernatural wrong. In an X-Men statement they described their powers as supernatural, and that wasn't the thing that was meant to be wrong.
@@FulcanMal Um actually, (I would never say this but it is the show) supernatural would cover both the powers of the X-men, and Faeries and junk, it's basically anything beyond our understanding of nature and science, or being extra ordinarily great and unnatural. Really anything "outside the natural order" or directly connected to divinity can be considered supernatural.
@@Lurklen Which is exactly why the X-Men powers aren't supernatural. They aren't beyond our understanding of nature and science. The X-Men's powers are the result of natural biological evolution.
These were all filmed years ago and slowly being released on RU-vid after having been DropOut exclusive. CollegeHumor doesn't exist anymore. It's never gonna happen (as much as I'd want it to)
@@Z3DT yeah I though CH was like half alive still, I thought Sam was able to get ownership but had to let a bunch of staff cuz not enough money but they are like working to keep it going. Plus, I think they are still making episodes and stuff with dropout, even if these are delayed releases.
I've had that MGS 'alert' sound as my text sound for ages. Best ever. It doesn't make me nervous, it makes me laugh. Especially because it seems to shock and surprise others so easily! 😂
um actually, torchwood is a reference to the episode tooth and claw it is the name of the estate where the 10th doctor and Rose Tyler meet queen victoria and she even explicitly mentions starting torchwood
I think that radio static sound was also in Myst when you open the red and blue books the first time. Probably a stock sound in a bunch of different things.
Nintendo published two different versions of the timeline in the different historia books. So the question was correct that Nintendo hasn't established one true canon
Um actually the sword in the stone is the first volume of the Once and Future King book. Each volume of the Once and Future King was published as it’s own book and then later compiled into the Once and Future King. The other volumes, with which the Sword and the Stone was revised and compiled into were The Queen of Air and Darkness, The Ill Made Knight, and The Candle in the Wind.
Um Actually, the cybernetics and armor on the Eva units would more accurately be described as restraints for the god-like power an Eva unit can wield, not augmentations.
I thought the same thing but at first, you are still correct, but augmentations just add to something not necessarily for better or worse, it is implied that augmentations enhance something, but it could be argued that eva units are enhanced for the safety of humanity's use of them. But seriously tho is that Evangelion question the source or a result of all the comments online correcting people on the exact same not technically mech/robot difference
Linguistically speaking, I think that "augmentations" could simply mean "additions". It sort of implies that they're beneficial, but I don't think it's necessary that augmentations are improvements.
"in the same way that the holy trinity are aspects of the same God" Give me a week of research and I can probably find a council that would've declared you a heretic.
I could probably do that in an hour (theology student) Edit: off the top of my hat I can tell you though that fighting about this was part of why the orthodox and catholic church split.
I literally just got off of my shift at a hardware store when I saw the carriage bolt question and have never been that excited for one of the last questions in my life. Also it being half thread doesn't make it a carriage bolt, the fact that it has the little square below the head that allows it to stick in a square beg makes it a carriage bolt. Any screw can be full or half thread.
Apologizing for "shitty little questions" isn't really embracing the spirit of the game. ;) Also Shane deserved the point for the last question. He identified the thing and no one could qualify it better. Points get awarded for "guessing close enough" all the time.
I have the MGS alert as my text alert as well as the Codec ring as my ringtone, I love it when it goes off in public because you can tell who the gamers are. someone's head will always pop up and look about, sometimes I'll get a "who was just spotted?" or a "SNAAAKKKEEE!" I love it everytime :)
Um actually, the version of Torchwood in the spin off show was not part of the government but created by Captain Jack in honor of the doctor. Previously, Queen Victoria founded Torchwood as a government institution at a house named Torchwood. But Trapp is right that the words, rearranged, are Doctor Who, but in both Doctor Who and Torchwood, that is not the reason.
@@CrashSable um actually, Torchwood was disbanded after at the end of DW series 2 and Jack specifically states he refounded it at the end of DW series 3. Jack also recruited all the members of Torchwood in the spinoff, making it a wholly new organization.
Um actually, Torchwood was originally founded by Victoria after the werewolf fight to protect the British Empire from the Doctor specifically and to arm itself against alien threats generally. At the end of Season 2, when they encounter the London branch of Torchwood, Torchwood is unashamed in that they steal alien tech and reverse engineer it. After the battle of Canary Wharf, Jack Harkness rebuilt Torchwood from the Cardiff branch into something he believed the Doctor would be proud of to protect the human race from hostile alien threats and to monitor the Time/Space rift in Cardiff.
