[lukaslambs]

What did motzart do when he died? He decomposed!

[dryzalizer]

No mention of how Mozart was composing Requiem at the time, and how once he got so sick he realized he was composing it for his own funeral? Pretty interesting side story that was left out :(

She look like she should be hosting BUZZFEED not Scishow tbh.

Sounds like meningitis...  Right down to that strange taste in his mouth.  His symptoms according to this video:  high fever, rash, sweating, severe swelling, pain in limbs and back,  taste of death in his mouth.
Symptoms of meningitis according to Mayo clinic:  high fever, stiff neck, headache, nausea, vomiting, skin rash and according to another source, metallic taste in mouth, and swelling.

I'm really glad Olivia doesn't let the childish haters bother her, she's a good presenter and I really enjoy shows that she hosts

[funpheonix]

I actually kind of like Olivia, she seems like a cool person to me. But based on these comments, I know a lot of people disagree with me... maybe I'm biased, I'm a newer subscriber to SciShow and she's the first host I saw.

He died when he was 35. In his short life he composed some of the biggest classical masterpieces. Think for a while how richer our music world would have been if this musical genius didn't die so young...!
Ps sorry for any grammar mistakes, I tried my best to express myself.

40% - I hate Olivia
50% - stop hating on Olivia
10% - why is Mozart in my anus

and that concludes today's analysis of the comments section.

what's wrong with you guys?
She really isn't as bad as you guys make her out to be.

[bmobmo]

could it be that he was unlucky enough to have multiple things happening to him at the same time?

NEXT TOPIC: why can i admit that my voice sucks but Olivia Gordon cant?

[nileaogden]

It is worth noting that Salieri confessed to murdering Mozart; however, his "confession" came many years later when he was confined in an asylum, and he was completely insane by then.

[Truthaboveusall]

just imagine if mozard had lived 20 more years we could'v had more of his work i think even better than we have now R.I.P mozart

[chargingbig]

SciSchow, what has happened to your comment section? :( It used to not be so nasty.

[maddiev]

I really enjoy Olivia. I think it's good to have multiple hosts.

[casualjoe]

So if Arsenic causes throat burning and Mercury causes excessive salivation, is it safe to take them together?

[CDeniseG]

Can someone ask her to stop bouncing when she speaks. its really distracting and kind of dizzying.

[treeperble]

I see a lot of comments bitching about other people bitching about Olivia. But not many comments actually bitching about Olivia.
