This is so wonderful. It's truly awe inspiring to see the amazing utility of technology we can so easily take for granted. I know that I had never really before in my life thought of the washing machine in quite the way he presents it.

Don't tell me you didn't know that!
Where do you think all the ninjas went?


Funny story, true story -- ninjas were the inventors of the washing machine. It was originally intended to be a booby trap that would pull hapless victims into a spinning, burning death, but it turned out to be better at washing clothes. Thus the true ninja empire was founded on the washing machine. Not many people know that. Those who do usually die (unless they're ninjas).

Don't tell anyone I told you.
