The List of Happiness

Being in Central Park recently reminded me of this classic (also the way the "Bear" lays with its arms flat out at the end!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoNVy759F0U

TV Interview of a scientist about the Planet of the Apes reboot some years back. They were asked were the Apes realistic? They replied “No” and explained that in the Movie they regularly knocked out their human captors so that they could escape...whereas real Apes would have horribly disemboweled the humans instead. Hollywood for once greatly toning down the violence levels...

On a tech article comments section about issues on Twitter someone posted there was talk of AI helping Police the platform. The next comment said connecting AI to Twitter users was a sure fire way to trigger a Terminator style AI Armageddon!

Everyone in England has seen these many times but always worth a re-watch every few years!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFuYIi5-igc And https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63rcdLeXiU8

Due to the cold weather on the East Coast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHYEthYTMhM Apparently Mike Myers heard someone calling that name to their dog in a Park...

I once saw a documentary with a renowned French Shark expert who was getting in a rock pool regularly with some dangerous species of sharks. He was interviewed on how he knew the sharks behaviors so well and they were entirely docile provided you had the years of experience that he had. I thought it all looked a bit risky myself but the documentary ended and I thought nothing much of it. Many months later on the News was a piece about a famous French shark expert who had been mauled in a rock pool incident (I may have dreamt this - but in the background I think there was a video clip of him being pulled out of the rock pool with blood everywhere). My initial gut instincts were not far off then.. …

Ricky Gervais’s latest special the where he described Social Media like someone going into the town square and seeing a notice for Guitar lessons and shouting: “GUITAR LESSONS….I DON’T WANT ANY <BLEEPING> GUITAR LESSONS!!” Also the bit about his floating testicles really made me laugh. While on the subject of Mr Gervais the episodes of “An Idiot Abroad” containing the Christian Firecracker festival, the legendary Mongolian wrestling outfit and Carl trying to use the water Jet pack in Venice are all utterly hilarious.

All Sci-Fi fans know and love this. This level of Speed is also often quoted in gaming and other circles as it is so funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygE01sOhzz0

SPACESHIP!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TYJyCCO8Dc And another that really set me off laughing on a plane flight (he was not used to public praise being a prior Super Villain!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhjQJujm2_Y

Watched a documentary about the Large Hadron Collider and they went over to the USA to interview various Theoretical Physicists about what some of the results might mean once it was all turned on. The best one was an older guy who said if some particle had a value of less than point five* it could mean a variety of things (that he went on to detail) but more importantly if it was over point five all his work, career and everything he had ever done with theoretical Physics would in fact be entirely wrong! Luckily it turned out to be under point five……. *or it was some other number - who needs accuracy in theoretical Physics!

The scene in LA LA Land where one of the stars says “its the Prius” while they rush to get their car, the camera cuts to the Valet’s board of keys and they are all Prius key fobs…..

One Foot in the Grave (with the grumpy pensioner Victor Meldrew) looked for all the world like a highly derivative Sitcom but due to its writer was in fact on occasion entirely brilliant. I first starting watching it while channel surfing and Victor was quivering and insensible sitting in an Emergency Room seat covered in what looked like blood on his shirt and crotch area. After a while his long suffering wife says something to the effect “such a shame all that paint fell on you when the Shed collapsed, and I was so worried that you were knocked out...But it was so nice of the Ambulance drivers to rush that mouldy carrot to the hospital packed in Ice...:” Also the episode set entirely in Victor's stationary car in a huge traffic jam, where after 20 minutes the rear passenger door suddenly opens and in climbs Mrs Warboys their Neighbour (who no mention had been made of up to that point) who says “Oh you haven’t moved far...and I have had a lovely lunch at that pub.” Fi...

What is brilliant about this one is the baby bobbling in as well in the background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh4f9AYRCZY

As well as looking after Batman Sir Michael Caine gets one of the best jokes ever put on film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ882QYzr-M (the Villain of the movie is the Nationality concerned). While on the subject of Sir Michael I read he was interviewed once and asked had he seen "Jaws the Revenge"? To which he brilliantly replied No he had not, but he had seen the quite lovely house that it had paid for.....
