Louis CK - Of Course But Maybe
http://www.usnews.com/science/articles/2010/01/12/egypt-new-find-shows-slaves-didnt-build-pyramids
"Dieter Wildung, a former director of Berlin's Egyptian Museum, said it is "common knowledge in serious Egyptology" that the pyramid builders were not slaves and that the construction of the pyramids and the story of the Israelites in Egypt were separated by hundreds of years."
Other than, you know, the fact they exist and the ancient Egyptians actually wrote that into the sides of the things.
VideoSift 5.0 bugs go here. (Sift Talk Post)
The layout on iOS is sub-optimal. You can't zoom and it's hard to hit the quote button to reply.
Also, the top 15s, top rated comments,etc all appear in one vertical column.
But I'm loving the clean, dieter rams aesthetic on desktop browsers. Kudos
edit: actually, one complaint. On chrome anyway the "top new videos" sidebar, the video titles seem to have some sort of white embossing. It makes it really hard to read.

It's much easier to remove any hint of temptation rather than to try and control yourself.

VW's Transparent Factory
As far as I can find, you're wrong, but information on the matter is fairly sketchy.
Dates ranging from February to March (March date only on wikipedia, that oh so solid source for information.... ) - Germany's surrender was in May. and death tolls ranging from 20,000 to 500,000. All depending on who's viewpoint you take - the political responses section is interesting on Wikipedia.

However, probably the largest hole I can poke in your comment is this recent investigation which was undertaken by '13 prominent German historians' in 2008.
-----------------------
Historical Investication
For decades historians have accused the Allies of killing up to 500,000 civilians on the night of February 13 1945, when British and American planes destroyed the old city centre.
But a special commission, comprising 13 prominent German historians, has now revealed that the previous figures were exaggerated or derived from dubious sources.
Instead, they concluded that no more than 25,000 people died during the attacks, debunking the claims of many revisionist historians who wished to compare the bombing to the Holocaust.
The commission, assembled in 2004 and headed by one the country's most prominent military historians, Rolf-Dieter Mueller, studied all the available evidence about the event - much of which was examined for the first time.
Mr Mueller said that the final report of the commission, to be published next year, aims to end the "ludicrous speculation" about the Dresden causalities, which was used for propaganda by the Nazis.
------------
With that in mind, "A million or so civilians" and "After the surrender of Germany" seems a bit much.
Either way, this is a video about a German car factory - and a pretty cool one at that. Upvoted for the auto-bots.
>> ^Drachen_Jager:
"Dresden is best known for it's historic buildings."
I guess they cut the part that goes on, "Which were all burned to the ground along with a million or so civilians when British bombers firebombed the city after the surrender of Germany."

Watched it last night. I'd pass on it if you have other things to do. It just sort of feels like he captured incredible footage of the Iraqi oil fires that he didn't know what to do with. The footage is amazing, but he sort of laid this sci-fi narrative over it.

Me too, I love Herzog films. Been working my way through his filmography recently... Fitzcarraldo (a masterpiece), Little Dieter Needs to Fly, The White Diamond, Grizzly Man (superb), Rescue Dawn and last night saw Burden of Dreams- a documentary about the making of Fitzcarraldo. This series of Children's book narrations is really close to the mark.

Werner Herzog: Beyond Reason
I'm an enormous fan of his work.. Loved "Heart of Glass," "Little Dieter Needs to Fly," & "Encounters at the End of the World."
Harmony Korine is a friend of a friend -- and Werner was great in "Julian Donkey Boy."
Several friends were in attendance when "Werner Eats His Shoe."
This man is a living legend. No question.
The sift IS ready for this kind of terrible
>> ^peggedbea:
does his necklace say "norm"?
It say's "Nora", the name of his girlfriend later wife who actually destroyed the band in a yoko ono kind of way. Although this really is terrible, Dieter Bohlen (the blonde one) is among the most successful producers ever (he sold more than 150mio records). I don't like him, especially since you cannot avoid him on german tv these days, but i do respect his career.

Yeah, I was aware I had the ability as a diamond, just thought it wouldn´t work on my own post since thats what it said in your sifttalk description of it.
That´s why I didn´t try it first on the post mentioned below.
But apparently it works anyway, so I hope it´s there to stay
In reply to this comment by lucky760:
Actually you can do it because you're a diamond, which is the min level required for dupeof.
Hmm. That's definitely an idea worth considering. Seems like it should be fine to allow self dupeof invocations...

Edit: Nevermind, it works! (please leave it on if its a bug
Hey Lucky,
just wondering wether it might be a good idea to make *dupeof available on your own submissions and here is why:
More often than not someone catches the dupe that either doesn´t know about the merge possibility or has not enough rank to invoke it. Usually both times people just leave a "dupe" with the link.
Now of course I´d love to merge the dupe with the original, but can´t.
Surely there is a reason for this limit, but I can´t think of it, since it doesn´t improve your own vote count or such...
I realize this is a powerful invocation that should not be misused, but that has already been taking care of with limiting it to bronze diamonds, no?
Cheers,
maatc
