I loved the show Little Britain and particularly the "Computer Says No" sketches, here are two of them:
(Please note there's one foul word at the end in the first video, so don't watch if you are easily offended)

I hate snakes. Interesting to see the human gyroscopic effect.

This is my favorite Youtube video of all time. I thought about it recently when I was watching the French election news.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. If you do not know French, consider learning.

Vive la France!

Not sure whether this is a good example. Since almost the entire kinetic energy is absorbed by the structural parts, the chances to survive could be higher than those in an ordinary real car.

I'd call it "Bell's long lost barely hidden variable".

Not really a classic YouTube video but I thought that I would post it here anyway. I bought a dash cam in January and today, I recorded an accident (no sound).

That made my head hurt to watch.
But it was very cool.

I ran into the following gentleman at the local hippy fair a few weeks ago, and fell in love with his "laser" art.



Fortunately or unfortunately, my house is too small to hold any more "art", or I'd have bought a piece.

Very funny analysis of sleeping positions... o0)
 
Here's a bit of classic Doo Wop from the Citations. More fun than watching the ceremony for the École Polytechnique students I posted last time. Sorry, no offense, but that's how I feel these days. Long live peace, love, and music.

The Rick Astley/Nirvana thing was interesting. But I still prefer pure unsullied Rick. He is one of the finest singers ever in pop music. I need to stop my social media activities now and get back to work. So I will finish with this beautiful song. Tell it like it is, Rick!

 
After posting a couple of Rick Astley songs, I was curious if he wrote any of them himself. It turns out he wrote "Hold Me In Your Arms." He also wrote "Cry For Help" along with Rob Fisher.

"Hold Me In Your Arms" reached number 10 in the UK charts in Feburary 1989. "Cry For Help" also did very well in UK and USA charts.

So he is not only one of the best British singers, but a gifted songwriter as well.

He is a real singer, meaning no tricks. Look at some of his live performances. Amazing. He started his public singing career in the church choir, when he was ten years old.

Rick is from Lancashire.

Obviously I am a great fan of Rick Astley.

I've done lots of study and programming in the area of sound synthesis. It's a fascinating field. But it seems even the most advanced singing synthesis software of today is unable to come anywhere close to generating a convincing human voice. I'm quite happy about that, since I'm on the human side of the human vs machine war.
