Tom Hanks is probably the only non-Brit we'd be okay about playing The Doctor. Having said that, one of the reasons he'd be popular is ironically because of his understanding of the character and what he means to us.

Forget shedding and drooling as reasons to not share a bed with a dog, greyhounds are quite likely to be lactose and/or gluten intolerant. I have to share a "bed" with ours in our caravan in the summer. Even feeding him gluten-free food, he still farts all night!

I knew I was tasty to mozzies! I get eaten alive! Actually, so does my dog. Poor thing.

There's already a musical about Oregon Trail! Team Starkid made Trail to Oregon years ago! It even let the audience name the characters!

My favorite fact I learned this year is that wood can now be lab-grown and then 3D printed.

[jelyse]

24:43 the subtitles right after the one fact about mosquitos said "maybe Ill start trying catnip" lmao

[brigitteking]

A very impressive job of narration. This young woman is the best I've ever seen. Nice inflection and phrasing that made the most technical info more understandable. Easy to listen too despite a boggling number of facts, thanks to the excellent job she did!

"And no it wasn't a giant bee" 😂🤣😭

Can we get a glow in the dark Marie Curie Barbie?

[james_baker]

there are two take aways from this video.
1. Don't steal peoples jackets - words to live by.
2. Get cats - always a good idea.
thanks Mental Floss

[ZOB]

I wouldn't call the woman who took the blue jacket an "Unwitting criminal" - she still took a jacket she knew didn't belong to her, and then went and had it altered to fit her. That is a straight up intentional theft

Prescribing passes to nation parks to reduce stress is absolutely brilliant

[ianhowick]

#80 Really. We knew this back in the 80s when Space Balls was released. that's the kind of combination/password an idiot would have on their luggage.

[jphilb]

I could listen to Erin all day. Love this channel.

[FredrikDLuffy]

Starkid made a wonderful Oregon Trail musical called Trail to Oregon, complete with a Died of Dysentery song that has multiple endings depending on who dies.

[emmittbailey]

63 and 64 is my kid #mulletboyemmittbailey 🤘🏻 this is awesome

[thomasdegroat]

"she didn't realize it was an art piece"
So she just stole someone's jacket???

[flamshiz]

as a NASA engineer, I was pleased to hear so many space related stories :D

[bcallahan]

You're the 101 amazing fact to present this in the way you do.
Flawless editing or not.
👍👍👍👍👍.

39:29 My folks moved into this house in 1975. I moved in to become their caregiver a year later. They’re both gone, but I’m still here.

I take issue with large dog breeds. My parents had a standard poodle who I sometimes used as a pillow and other times to put my feet under to keep warm. He had no problem with me doing this.

To the contrary, the yorkie was not as chill when I used her to dust furniture…
