Awesome stuff you see on the internet

Just on that James Burke tweet.
Firstly that was awesome and I saw it on the internet. Hence I posted it in this thread .... serms appropriate
Second I think that was from his series The Day the Universe Changed rather than Connections. The former I had on VHS for years and years having recorded it on successive Sunday arvos sometime in the 80s. I reckon thus because the shuttle started in 1981, and Connections was made in 1978.
Both series were all sorts of awesome.
Probably still could've got my greasy hands on the tapes up to about 3 months ago before Mum inconveniently shuffled off this mortal coil, and Brother Boo had the job of tossing all the rubbish out. ... and who has a vhs still anyway?
Both series however were all shades of awesome. Did I say that already?

Hero Dad! I reckon we’ve all got a similar story, just not the footage to prove it.

Wasn't sure where to post this but had to put it up because it proves once and for all that a diet of meat and alcohol is healthy. Absolutely no further studies required, bacon and beer is all I need.
Vegetarians are less healthy than meat-eaters, a controversial study has concluded, despite drinking less, smoking less and being more physically active than their carnivorous counterparts. -
Participants who ate less meat also had poorer health practices, such as avoiding attending doctors appointments for preventative check-ups and measures such as vaccines,
Heh yep.
Actually surprised the Independent released this.

So the long running subscription battle for the #1 spot on Youtube between an Indian multi-million dollar corporate entity and a skinny Swedish bloke named Felix who likes memes, is finally over. Pewdiepie held #1 right up to 92 million subscribers. He has offered up a congratulations song which has racked up 17 million views in one day..but weirldly..isn't trending on Youtube.
*edit Holy-hell after releasing that song he is now back in front!

That song was brilliantly provocative
Annoying catchy too.It's trending number 2 for me, top one has 22m views in one day. Maybe they are hiding it from you.
His 'bitch lasagne' was bloody catchy too.
Dunno how their trending works, not trending in Oz or the USA but is in NZ

I don’t know where this goes but it’s pretty good.
The Tiger and the Tragic Trick: Siegfried & Roy's Animal Handler Breaks Silence on Mauling, Alleges Cover-Up
[...] Lawrence — a figure central to the story, now speaking for the first time — says the official narrative of the night put out by the show isn't what really happened. He contends it was a version shaped by the illusionists to protect the brand, save face and cover up for a series of onstage handling errors made by Horn. "While Roy, unfortunately, bears the physical scars of the attack," says Lawrence, "he definitely isn't the only person that was left suffering in the aftermath of it."
THR reviewed the inconclusive probe into the incident, a two-year investigation directed by the United States Department of Agriculture and made public in 2005. (The agency has authority over exotic animals.) It lends support to Lawrence's position by independently establishing a narrative that hews to his own, not the previously publicized story. [...]
