40 Metre Removal

Good job eh! The title really doesn't do the video justice. Oh, what dizzying heights! Great capture of what it's like to remove a 40 metre tree - like this one here in Melbourne, Australia...

40 metre tree removed due to an old lightning strike in Tecoma, Dandenong Ranges. The tree had dropped several limbs, one narrowly missing people in the garden. The client will be milling the wood to extend the house and more natives will be planted in its place.

Here, Living With Dead Bodies for Weeks—Or Years—Is Tradition

WARNING: Not for the squeamish!

Fascinating. Some cultures give the dead bodies to the birds and let them eat them, this one keeps them...

On the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, the Torajan people believe that a person is not truly dead until water buffalo have been sacrificed at their funeral, serving as the vehicle to the afterlife. Until that time, the bodies are may be kept at the family's home for weeks, months or years and are fed and cared for as if they were alive. Some Torajans continue their relationship with the dead through a ma'nene' ceremony, a type of "second funeral" in which families bring out their ancestors every few years and change their clothes and clean their bodies and crypts.

Proof of evolution that you can find on your body

You have your mom's smile, your dad's eyes, and the ear muscles of a Triassic mammal.

Forty-two percent of Americans say that humans were created in their present form within the past 10,000 years — a percentage that hasn't changed much since 1982, when Gallup started polling views on evolution. Several lines of evidence, from the fossil record, comparative anatomy, and genetics, tell another story. But you don't have to read all the research to find signs of our evolutionary history — you can see it in the vestigial structures in each of our bodies like the third molars that no longer fit in our mouths. For a few other examples, check out the video below.

Can you solve the temple riddle? - Dennis E. Shasha

Ooohwie! We love riddles. This video by TED-Ed (with over 1M views) wants you to use your math skills to solve the riddle...

Your expedition finally stands at the heart of the ancient temple. But as you study the inscriptions in the darkness, two wisps of green smoke burst forth. The walls begin to shake. The giant sandglass begins flowing with less than an hour before it empties, and a rumbling tells you that you don’t want to be around when that happens. Can you use math to escape the temple? Dennis E. Shasha shows how.

BIG cyst on lower back!

Hey! That kinda looks like a belly button - but on the back! More pimple popping grossness by the lovely Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper) . We'll just file this one under 'Educational'...

This is one of those blackheads that you were waiting to see! I thought this was a blackhead, or a Dilated Pore of Winer, but it proved to be an epidermoid cyst. It was flattened and disc-shaped because it's in a very tight area of the back and it couldn't grow down or up easily, so it spread out very flatly, which makes it look more like a large blackhead. As you can see, I was able to remove it entirely, and a couple sutures were placed.

Exercise vs Diet

One Lone & Large Blackhead

More grossness coming to you courtesy of the lovely Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper). It's all in the name of Education folks, remember that...

This patient of mine, was coming in for her yearly body exam, and I noticed this pretty big bump on her suprapubic area. Yes, this is the area on the lower abdomen just above the genital area. She had been told by her other doctors that this was a lipoma or a cyst and it had been injected by something (I'm thinking a steroid), but it didn't go away. As you can see, she was shocked to learn it was just a very big blackhead, and that it could be removed very quickly and easily with just a little local anesthesia and a few stitches. She was so nice to allow us to film this so you (and she) could see how easily this very large blackhead could be removed.

Speaking of moon, what if we never had one?...

To Scale: The Solar System

"There is literally not an image that adequately shows you what it actually looks like from out there," says Wylie Overstreet, one of the model creators, about our solar system. "The only way to see a scale model of the solar system is to build one." And build one they did. 

He along with a friend, Alex Gorosh built the scale model in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada after driving more than 960 km looking for the biggest space they could find. Using about 11 km of space to map out the orbits of each of the major planets, the pair was then able to film this time-lapse video...
