Oh man, why did I watch this. I have to wait 2 weeks for this episode to come out

Torrents?
Also who cares, can't ever watch an episode of QI enough!


Even torrents won't help here yet. Episode 5 of this series only just aired on the BBC this Friday. From the Youtube description this is a preview of episode 7. (Although the Wikipedia page suggests it's episode 6, so there might be only 1 week to wait, not two.)

Crash Course: World War I

>> ^criticalthud:

Great vid but a little hazy on what started the war. There were the official reasons, and then the actual reasons. At this point history shows that the lead up and start of WWI was largely about geopolitics: 3rd world empires with their cheap resources and the rise of oil and technology. Even in that day and age, nations were quick to understand the importance and advantages of access to energy, especially oil, and other resources and raw materials. The only question was how the world and it's resources were to be divided.
it's pretty important to get this aspect right, because nothing has really changed, and geopolitical considerations dictate the foreign policy of most major countries, especially the US.


Yup, my favourite presentation of this information is:

It's 45 minutes long, but an excellent mix of standup comedy and facts.

I have one nephew that only wants to play video games and sleep until 3pm, and one that feels his sole purpose in life is to hump his new smoking hot GF. Suggestions?


Maybe just follow their example? Sounds awesome to me too!

Did David Mitchell Proof Read Dictionaries For A Living?

heathen says...

"You spelt this word incorrectly on page 6, I wasn't completely sure at first, but I checked in another dictionary."

"But that's the correct spelling of 'incorrectly'."

"Yes, but it shouldn't be on page 6, we're still in the As"
