  • @BrooklynJackBlue
    @BrooklynJackBlue 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    This wont quite count, but when I was a kid, like most kids, I had to take Flintstone's vitamins. I didn't mind them. Far as I was concerned it was just chewing on slightly bitter but still sweet and fruity bits of candy, one a day. But I was a very inquisitive kid, though not impetuous or foolhardy, and one day I asked my mom:
    "What would happen if someone had more than one Flintstone's vitamin a day?"
    Now, my mother must have presumed that my asking this question was a prelude to my trying to eat a bunch of chewables right then and there. And rather than walk me through the process of what might actually happen to a kid if they ate a bunch of Flinstone's vitamins all at once, she decided to cut the entire f*cking conversation short.
    "They would die."
    That was her answer to me, a child with a single digit age, who was just asking a question.
    And I BELIEVED HER. For years I spent my time being worried that I wouldn't remember or my mom wouldn't remember whether or not I'd already had a vitamin that day, because the alternative WAS F*CKING DYING.

    Stretching basketballplayers is what Lamarckian Evolutionary Theory was all about. It wasn''t a bad idea, it just turned out not to be the main mechanism for biology. But it works wonders when included in evolutionary problem solving algorithms and other machine learning techniques and Lamarck cannot be blamed for mother nature missing the boat on that one.

    I was this old when I found out that the buzzing noise a fly/bee/wasp makes is actually it breathing not it’s wings. Just came straight from a QI video to advise of this revelation. Not it’s mouth I’ll grant you but it looks like Greg will have to again reassess his opinion of his CEO friend.

    I was quite sure that sports such as basketball, volleyball - ones in which a lot of vertical movement like jumping and stretching occurs - releases certain types of hormones which do indeed encourage growth. When you simply put it as basketball stretches your body, it does sound ridiculous. But you can be sure most professional basketball players picked the sport from around at the age of 5, so having these jumping and stretching movements from so early on would have definitely impacted their heights. Genetics of course come into it, but I doubt they'd all be quite as tall if they didn't play basketball for an early age.

    The noise a fly makes is the sound of its breathing,true not through its mouth as this is not how a fly breathes.a fly breathes through little holes called spiracles and they make the buzzing noise,not the wings as most people assume.but it makes Greg seem a little foolish for having this as part of his show without researching it first......funny though.

    From time to time, I deliberately tell kids the wrong, most ridiculous things to see if they're paying attention or are smart enough to think and then question what I've just said - I don't accept cynicism, they have to be able to logically challenge the error. It's becoming more difficult because a) a lot of kids - and I mean 15/16 year olds - genuinely have no clue how the world works; b) to cover the first point, they don't believe _anything_ an adult tells them; c) they can't be arsed with learning anything at all because they're all weed-heads by 14.
