Glad to see this comment! I just found this channel, a couple weeks ago! And was wondering if you were still on as I'm seeing most that were posted 4-5 yrs ago! Love it!! Love it that you talk fast and move along.... can't listen to the ones who fool around with their personal inane ' comments ', or I should say ' opinions'!! 👍

It is generally thought that "Humpty Dumpty" was originally a *riddle*, that's why it doesn't mention that it's an egg - that's the answer to the riddle. In any case, Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There," which featured Humpty Dumpty pictured as an egg, pretty much cemented the idea so hard that no one thinks of it as a riddle any more 'cause the answer is even more obvious. As Humpty would say, "there's glory for you."

You clearly haven't been to the much nicer places of NJ. I am going to assume you live in a large/major city in NJ rather than a rural or suburban area. They are wonderful places. Fun fact about NJ: It is the most densest state in the U.S., meaning that it has the most population per square mile. So, if the entire U.S. was as dense as NJ, the population would rise from 300 mil, to 4 bil (as of 2012) people.

Humpty Dumpty was a cannon, at least according to a book I read once about the origins of nursery rhymes and fairy stories. I can't remember what it was called, I borrowed it from the library, but it was very interesting. Ring a ring a roses was about the black death and little miss muffet was about the daughter of a doctor who was well known at the time for reasons I can't remember.

Perhaps I should restate. The Mental Floss channel is actually pretty good at staying apolitical in most of it's videos and I appreciate that. I'll add that the occasional jab at Fox or the right is unnecessary but not intolerable, I'm pretty far from right wing anyway. That being said, it doesn't take much looking around to determine that the folks that run it are pretty left leaning. That's okay, I just don't want to watch political videos from them.

First time poster, long time listener.....ok, actually I just started watching mental floss because a friend just told me about it. He won trivial pursuit when last we played and I'm not sure why he would arm an opponent with such arsenal as this program, but hey I'll take it. Anywho, first thing that comes to mind is "WOAH" this is a lot of facts, more facts then have been thrown at me since earning a worthless degree in 2009 (in 2015 I still find my brain wanting to learn and grow, your program fortunately is far cheaper and more entertaining than traditional education in the US). I dare say, it is a fine collection of factoids and if I may be so bold I would like to suggest an entree on Memory Athleticism. It will expose your viewers to brainy tips that will aid in the retention of this large assembly of facts of which you so abundantly share. Memory Athleticism is new to me, but thanks to very little effort on my part I am able to remember many things such as lengthy poetry like 'Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie' or lists of interests like the 25 top endangered animals on the planet or the states and capitals which I had since forgot from my elementary years (major shocker there). As someone who failed to thrive in the 'drill-as-many-facts-in-your-head-for-the-test-as-possible-until-we-cram-more-abstract-facts-for-the-next-test' type of educating in traditional schooling, I am glad that I finally stumbled on a simple and effective way to retain information as a young adult so I no longer have to waste my brain any further with this 'in one ear out the other' level of absorption (hows that for a run on sentence). With memory training I now feel confident in building a vast library of thoughts and facts in my mind which I previously thought to have a far smaller capacity. Thank you, and good day.

Sakura11101 To be fair, 22 might be just outside the range of when Myspace was still relevant to people using social media. Given that it peaked from '05 to '08, you would have to have been among the youngest users to have been using Myspace. someone 13-16 in the 07'-'08 range might have jumped straight to Facebook instead. But it's definitely outside the range for for a 15yr old. Myspace started a decline in '08-'09 and began to bottom out in '11, when the rebranded themselves as a social media for music (which seems to have salvaged the company, but made them no longer a relevant social media page for the average person).

I sympathise with you but unfortunately I dont think so. People would seek out the remaining ones, and they would be preached to larger crowds.

4:48 They thought about naming our new territory "Bob," but most people said "We will have none of it." (I don't know if anyone gets that pun. Also, yes, I know that's not the correct way to pronounce Nunavut.)

Here's a couple of pieces of trivia if you do a "facts about currency" show: 1. Australian silver coins are actually mostly copper. The exact mix is 75% copper and 25% nickel 2. If you got rid of the US 1 and 5 cent coins, you could still make all multiples of 5 cents other than 5 or 15 with the remaining coins.

Even before cell phones existed, Amateur Radio operators in many areas have been able to make phone calls on their hand held radios. Unfortunately, since Hams are also banned from conducting any kind of business on the air, ordering a pizza with one is illegal.

About the yawning thing with humans and animals, a little while ago my one cat yawned which caused me to yawn which caused my other cat to yawn after seeing me yawn. It was a beautiful experience.

Actually - Niels Bohr did not have beer piped into his house... The Carlsberg Brewery owned a house, they awarded to people (scientists, artists, authors, ect.) as a free place to live, until death... The beer pipe was already installed.. :) Niels Bohr lived there for 30 years. :)
