I'm usually the first to admit that I've committed a dupe, and in this case, i hadn't seen the other video , but this is one of those tricky dupe-cases , because i genuinely think the first 30 seconds are brilliant, and they are, in all fairness, missing in the other video.. so its a half-dupe. so I think this deserves to be sifted wiith the 40 first seconds included, I could argue for a merger of some kind, but when you include the first part the focus kinda shifts from suicide bombers to religion.. I cant decide! aaarrrgh!

Ahh, but messenger just said 'successful' comedians. I wasn't vouching as to whether I find them funny (Wanda Sykes for instance I really don't like)... and on the attractiveness front I know many who do find Want attractive. So they were just examples.

For the most part I don't like any comedian who has 'a bit'... as in, they have a particular thing that they do their comedy about, be it that they're a woman, or of different ethnic decent, or are short or fat etc. etc. The truly great comedians just tell stories... and those stories are hilarious.

In their prime, Robin Williams and Billy Connolly were superb examples of this. Connolly especially with his ability to go off on a seemingly random set of tangents for a long, long time (making you laugh hysterically all the while), and yet coming back to his original point after it all, long after you might expect him to have forgotten where he started.

They both have lost their edge these days (probably that issue of once you have money and comfort and power you loose the connection with the 'working man' comedy that you began with... or something). I find Ross Noble to be one of the best at doing this style these days. (I had tickets to see him a couple of weeks back with my wife.... and then my son kinda got his arm broken on the trampoline thanks to me so we missed out... doh)

If a woman comedian can do the same, or can just tell jokes that span a wide gamut of topics. One of my favourites at present is Kitty Flanagan.

You know what? I take my science from this guy.

On a side note how Ironic would that be to find out that our universe is contained in the cytoplasmic goop of a cell that resides in something much more complex than we currently understand.

Once there is a systematic way to test what was before the big bang, then we can prove whether or not something was before. There is no way to prove or falsify that there was or wasn't a before. Therefore it is unfalsifiable, and not science but conjecture.

Wasn't it Billy Connolly that stated, and I'm paraphrasing here, "We could be a teacup or the leg of a chair. The make up of atomic structure is like a solar system with everything spinning about a nucleus."

I've never heard a rational argument that stated what caused the creation of the universe other than a great big bang. Fantastic. That makes total sense. The only difference between Genesis 1 and The Big Bang Theory is the author of Genesis credits a single being with the creation of everything.

You have to have a pretty strong faith in either science or religion to believe that one or the other is completely right.

Not a problem... he is definitely one of the all time greats!

In reply to this comment by highdileeho:
Thanks for putting me on to this guy, Brilliant. i went on youtube. There was a long documentary about 90 minutes. It was the history of his joke telling, with a smattering of an autobiography mixed in. He is a brilliant comic, definitly one of the best, top 3. He had me rolling with laughter for 90 minutes. the 1 when he talks about taking a shit when he worked in the shipyard and beating out his flaming pubic hair with a hammer: so funny ...here's a link to the first bit. . Thanks again

So if we think about string theory, and think about the 10 or 11 universes.

If life is made of atoms, and the universe is made of atoms. Then surely the exploding of stars is where life is begun.

Now to my point. If a small atomic explosion happens all the time to create galaxies, and elements in our plane of existence. What if an exploding star is creating something for a plane of existence large than ours?

As Billy Connolly says, those wee things in the ponds that's nothing but a row of teeth an asshole and two fins have no idea we exist.

So one of the brothers lost his voice. Their 'dad' Billy Connolly did the DVD commentary track and shared his special lost voice remedy: Take apple cider vinegar, 3 teaspoonsful, mix with 1 teaspoonful of runny/clear honey.

Then boil the water and pour in 3 or 4 tablespoons of boiling water, gargle as much as possible as hot as bearable. Gargle at least 3 times.

Speak as little as possible - start humming later to ease throat in.

This remedy allowed the scene to be filmed without delay.
