Look at the human.

You kids these days! Nobody on videosift has ever opened a MIDI of a full orchestral piece and set all the instruments to piano before? I remember how much I loved doing that with Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre

This is the House of Commons. You're thinking of the House of Lords. That place is wig-city.

When did they stop wearing the powdered wigs?

It wasn't around at the time, but it's up now.

I assume you looked for it and couldn't find it because otherwise you surely would have tried to Sift it, Dr. Baber! You might rid yourself of the scarlet "P". You can expect some *promotes from me.

His cover of Annie's song really rips the heart out of it.

Penn & Teller said these exact things before

It's remarkable how cool LCARS looks and how horrible an UI it is. You get to squint at the real data while the empty spaces get lots of cool colors 'n' stuff.

Dark?

Aw, I thought it was going to be more like this classic political ad.

I just wanted to put it out there since the video indicates that people do think Christians invariably bless their food. Some do, some don't.

"blatherskite"

You're one word away from becoming Gizmoduck...

So, I've never asked anyone, but if a food worker (let's say Wendy's) sneezes, then someone nearby says, "Bless you!". Does that count?


Most people who say grace are thanking God for the privilege of eating, not blessing the food.
Most people who want their food blessed want it done a certain way by a certain person, so a Wendy's worker wouldn't cut it.

Ah the FCC. Keeping everyone safe from those dirty dirty harmful words. Without them, surely we would all be robbing, looting, and killing everything in sight.
Also: we all know the "real" words. Everyone does, without exception (because if everyone didn't, bleeping them would be pointless). So every time anyone see's this stuff, they hear "monday to friday!" their brain translates "fucking!". So in reality the FCC is even more pointless than its already pointless (and in my opinion unconstitutional) existence.


There's definitely good reason to have the public have some control over the quality of content on the public airwaves. There's a very finite amount of bandwidth that we, ahem, rent to companies and if we just let it go completely free market, it'd all be pornography.

Of course what the FCC does in practice is ridiculous. I wish they'd pay more attention to content before the watershed and less attention to four letter words. When I lived in Los Angeles, you could see four women and one man in a hot tub making out and suggesting the things they'd do later on Elimidate right when kids got home from school. No 'F' words, but I'd really hate my kids watching that every day.

Maybe this oughtta be called "Do these physicists believe in God?"

This was my introduction to John Legend. I just thought of sifting it and am surprised it didn't do so well. Maybe with a better quality video like

Anyway, years later upvote from me.

6:35 -- source of infamous facepalm.

Although the unnatural dialogue of Gilmore Girls is jarring, it has the same "this one's for the adults" effect. She's watching a chick show, and I'm hearing MST3K.

Also, the 6884 feet reference is cute.
