Look Around You

This past week, I uncovered a piece of comic genius. These are a series of videos that are parodies of the instructional videos that people would see in the classroom, (the videos that you still experience if you go to school in the Hannover School Division.) Enough said. They are quite funny. And so, here I do present...Look Around You.

1. Maths
2. Water
3. Germs
4. Ghosts
5. Sulphur
6. Music
7. Iron
8. Brain

I plotted the graph for McDonald's theorem, but I didn't get anything that looked like a circle. I think this is all just a crock!

I do feel like I learned something valuable in spite of these crummy videos. I'm just trying to figure out the applications of knowing that the largest number is 45 billion. There must be some pretty cool things I can do with that knowledge.

Your links don't work though, unfortunately. They yield URLs like "http://www.blogger.com/youtube.com/watch?v=7LqYBncyKpM". I have no idea how blogger.com links work (in terms of how you can enter them), but I suspect you might get better results by including an "http://" in front of your links to give them a complete path.

Brent--
I'm glad you enjoyed them. Aren't they wonderful? Those Brits. I just don't know what to say about them.

Fixed the links. Thanks!

They peaked at the 2nd and 3rd episodes; I wasn't such a fan of the exaggerated special effects of the later ones. The best parts were when they'd throw in a piece of blatant misinformation into an otherwise believable lesson. I also thoroughly enjoyed the awful laboratory practices, and the constant waving about of pencils.

All in all, they were quite hilarious, and I've been showing them to my friends too. Thanks.

Hey Davy, ;)
I'm watching all of them (the third right now) and it's really funny. I know those kinds of videos as well. And some things are just as in the videos. (for example when he says stuff and you have hardly time to write it down ;))
See you and keep on blogging! :P
