QI - What will be the Language of the Future?
offsetSammy says...I don't know why but Steven Fry's last line made me LOL
Joey Quits His Job like a Boss!
offsetSammy says...Oh hai Joey's boss!
>> ^JiggaJonson:
>> ^Fusionaut:
I love how the boss showed what a douche he was, and why Joey was quitting, right before the band started playing.
Yeah, so douchey to want to remove a random group of people from an obvious employee only area... If I were a hotel guest and a marching band stormed through in the middle of the night, I would have no complaints at all.
The nerve of some people for wanting to keep the peace in a place of business. sticks nose up
Cutting and bottling honey
offsetSammy says...Damn nature, you tasty!
Sylvester Stallone is a good actor.
offsetSammy says...>> ^Ryjkyj:
He's merely portraying the cold emotionless response that an A.T.A.C. officer must employ when dealing with tragedies. It's the training. It forms you into a lethal weapon that reacts in a microsecond without thinking.
Thanks Dwight Shrute!

Touré Calls Out Media 9/11 Nostalgia
offsetSammy says...Sorry, but the last part of this video reminded me of this
Ann Coulter gets Owned by Bill Maher
offsetSammy jokingly says...The Ann Coulter method of arguing: if someone asks you a question you don't have the answer for, just repeat their question in a louder and more irate tone, as if the person asking it is being ridiculous for doing so.
Bill: "Name one."
Ann: "NAME ONE???" (as if there was such a huge amount of occurrences that picking just one is inconceivable!)
This works pretty well. I might start doing it.
Girlfriend: "Why are you watching dumb videos on the internet instead of hanging out with me?"
Me: "WHY am I watching DUMB VIDEOS instead of HANGING OUT WITH YOU???" (both discredits the idea of the videos being dumb, and also implies that I already hang out with her quite often)
Ann is a genius!
(p.s. Hypothetical example only. I love my girlfriend very much and would not watch dumb videos on the internet in lieu of hanging out with her. Except for the Videosift top 15, which must take precedence over all things.)
James Randi shows his ESP
offsetSammy says...I believe it's actually the "James Randi Schools You Foundation">> ^mxxcon:
so wtf?! This is "James Randy Educational Foundation", but he's not educating us of how he did it!!!!!
Strange looking dude at 0:21
offsetSammy says...Hahaha, I love it.

The top youtube comment:
Recently released, haunting footage of collapse of WTC 2
offsetSammy says...And to think Osama Bin Laden was in his bunker just a few months ago, re-watching this kind of footage over and over, proud of what he had accomplished. Sociopathy taken to its extreme.
Jaw Dropping Mountain Bike World Champs Run by Danny Hart
offsetSammy says..."His Dad's gonna have a heart attack"
Daddy Hart Attack?
Sorry.
Busted!
offsetSammy says...This comment deserves more love.

I highly dislike where this kind of mentality can lead to.

She's advertising. He's buying. Problem?
That's always been my theory. Don't put 'em on display if you don't want 'em looked at thoroughly.
Slippery slope arguments can lead to all sorts of trouble.
AI vs. AI
offsetSammy says...My short conversation with Cleverbot was somewhat frustrating:
me: What's your goal?
cleverbot: To make money.
me: Oh, how much would you like?
cleverbot: A dozen.
me: A dozen what?
cleverbot: A dozen equals 12.
I tried to clear up the confusion, to no avail:
me: What was the first question I asked?
Cleverbot: That how I am.
me: That's wrong. do you know the right answer?
Cleverbot: The answer to what?
me: The answer to the question 'what was the first thing I asked you?'.
Cleverbot: But you already answered that question.
me: What question?
Cleverbot: My first question.
Dawkins on Morality
offsetSammy says...>> ^Trancecoach:
Why is Hitchens in the tags?
I believe it is in reference to the fact that the guy who asked Dawkins the question got "Hitch-Slapped".
Dawkins on Morality
offsetSammy says...That guy got owned hard. It's examples like these that give me a positive overall outlook on society. The voice of rationality is loud and ultimately impossible to ignore. Eventually we'll get all this religious dogma weeded out.
