I have proof.

Antiques Roadshow: A very special Gun
heathen says...The lack of payoff is the joke.
It's not just any gun, it belonged to Anton Chekhov.

Funny, but I'm disappointed by the lack of a violent payoff at the end.

heathen says...Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: Seriously Dave, are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?
Cat Fishing for Other Cat
heathen says...There isn't any more footage. Sadly the third cat, that was filming, dropped the phone.
"And then?"
Why is the Solar System Flat?
heathen says...You can see a simplified example of these collisions here, if you jump to the 2:45 mark:

I'm not especially satisfied with that explanation.

what does he say at the end? Something about pepperoni?
Kangaroo eating a penguin on the beach
heathen says...Deer have also been filmed eating birds.
They're normally herbivores. Their exact diet depends on where they live, but is usually going to be grasses or leaves... like deer.
50 Science Misconceptions
heathen says..."Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing 'look over there'."
- Mouseover text of http://xkcd.com/552/
Now if he had said correlation does not necessarily imply causation, or that it doesn't prove causation, I'd agree 100%... finding a correlation isn't the end of a study but it could be the starting point for one, and often has been.
Sixty Symbols -- What is the maximum Bandwidth?
heathen says...Very interesting video, but a pity he went in to all that detail to end with a figure as vague as "1 terabyte in a few hundredths of a second".
If "a few" is 5 we'd get 20 Tbytes/s, if a few is 50 we'd get 2 Tbytes/s.
From wikipedia it seems optical fibre bandwidth is also limited by distance, due to dispersion, but current experimental research results are approaching 100 Terabit/s over a single channel.
(26Tbit/s in 2011, 73.7 Tbit/s in 2013)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication#Parameters
100 Terabit/s is 12.5 Terabyte/s, which is 1 Terabyte in 0.08 seconds.
So while it still doesn't tell us what the theoretical limit is, for our currently achievable maximum speeds "a few" is 8.
After Hours - 6 Christmas Movies w/ Horrible Secret Meanings
heathen says...They forgot Die Hard: Office Christmas party is crashed by terrorists, but they don't have a cause, they just want money.
- It's a morality tale about rampant holiday consumerism. If you want a Happy Xmas give up all your worldly possessions, even your shoes!
