Breaking Atmo: The Solar System Th1sWasAT... - 1,049 views - 1 week ago
For maximum effect, watch in HD. This looks a little similar to the first few minutes of WttU 3; actually, he copied ME, the scoundrel.

This is not a video that explains much about anything. It's a video full of the most beautiful and inspiring space photography I could track down.

Obviously, there's a lot I missed out or could have included - countless moons, asteroids, dwarf planets and geographical features - but I only took the best I could. This is to inspire you to go and look at stuff more than anything else.

I also steered clear of anything but real and clear photography - no artists impressions or bitty little specks. The exception to that is Pluto and Charon, which we won't see properly for a few years until New Horizons gets out there.

Ida/Dactyl (the only known asteroid with an orbiting satellite), Vesta and Ceres occupy the asteroid belt. Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt, classified as a dwarf planet, and Vesta the second largest. They'll be visited and studied in detail from 2011 by the Dawn Mission probe.

IMovie is not the most flexible system for titling videos, so it's occasionally clumsy. The music alternates between appropriate and spectacularly unsubtle. Enjoy. Go look things up. Space is awesome.

Guitar Tuition Video Th1sWasAT... - 157 views - 2 weeks ago
This video is purely a demonstration of my style and sound for potential students, to complement an advert I placed elsewhere. If you're watching this and you didn't click through from Gumtree, just enjoy it. Or not. I'm not fussed.

Just live clips of me playing electric and acoustic (at the end.)

£35 Acoustic Guitar Playing Th1sWasAT... - 219 views - 1 month ago
Proof, if proof be needed, that even a lowly player can make a cheap guitar sound execrable.

Obviously if I genuinely hated this, I'd never upload it - but I've sure played this song better without the remorseless red eye of my phone in a stuffy, cramped and hot bedroom. Speaking of stuffy, cramped bedrooms - YOUR MUM

I'll have a proper video up soon. Honest.

Yes, I did steal the first line from Simon Pegg. I'm sure he can deal with that.

Les Conseils Touristique (Desolation) FountainRock - 95 views - 2 months ago
Faithfully restored by Fountain Rock Films and Pet Car Productions, Allen DeWitt's 1965 "classic" meditation on sorrow and tourism returns to the silver screen.

The Founders Remorse, was hailed as pornographic tripe by DeWitt's contemporaries leading one critic to literarily get up and leave the cinema 8 seconds into the piece.

Released, originally, through DeWitt's own The Curious Company the film was a commercial failure, many attributed this to it's running time 87 minutes under the standard for a feature film. Puzzled by the response to his "only true work" DeWitt released his production house to public auction sold to hat maker in 1967 and with that DeWitt retired to roaming obscurity.

False Flagging Jerks Thunderf00t - 41,552 views - 3 months ago
Download and mirror for Epic Justice! ;-)
http://www.mediafire.com/?zhm2 zzmr3mg

The original video was falsely flagged.

The video 'they' don't want you to see?

The similarities between this and dealing with creationists are spooky.

Description of video:
Well Howtheworldworks, aka Posterboy for Conspiracy Stupidity (PCS2) evidently now has no problem with uploading in its entirety a video made by someone else and titling the playlist My annihilation of Thunderf00t.

Add plagiarism to the list PCS2.

Even more amusing is the fact that The video Thunderf00t does not want you to see suggest that the maker (Misterbusta) ONLY agree with PCS2 on individual rights and not much of what he says. Indeed he starts by saying that this is mostly a response to HTWW(?).

Misterbusta made a response which he had clearly put some effort into.
However he seems to misunderstand what an Ad Hominem attack is. Calling PCS a liar is not an ad hominem attack if it put at the end of a long argument showing PCS is a liar. Put simply just because you use a derogatory term does not actually affect the validity of an argument. HTWW (PCS2) does however use ad hominems all the time. There is a clear example in this video, SUBSTITUTING AN ATTACK ON A PERSON FOR AN ARGUMENT. Similarly the end of the first video I did on this (part 1), the ending monologue is left entirely to PCS2 as its just a content-less hominem rant. The lack of factual content in this rant is self evident as I can direct it at him just as easily as he did against someone else. Its just a content-less ad hominem diatribe.

I'm out of town for the next few weeks, but I will watch with amusement as PCS2 who has adamantly claimed that 'I'm done with Thunderf00t' and 'My subscribers are tired of this crap' scramble to make a response. Sigh, so predictable.

PCS2 is a gold-mine of stupidity, almost as good as PCS1. The only doubt I have is, is he really this stupid or is he simply pretending to make money a sort of Poes Law for capitalists?

Considerably less sweaty and more together than last time. The Native Tongue is tiny and doesn't even have any tables - that's how goddamned cool it is. There genuinely were about seven people there.

Religion, And Other Curious Beasts Part 5: Russell Brand\God Th1sWasAT... - 2,925 views - 7 months ago
*WARNING* There are naughty and nefarious words in this video. You have now been warned.



The sad thing is that I'm not even taking anything he said out of context.

Thanks to AndromedasWake for laying down the sciencehammer when it was most needed. I hope you all enjoy this one, I've been planning it for ages and ended up being a very rushed affair.

Sound clip used under fair use, and all that stuff.

Religion And Other Curious Beasts Special - meljane1970 Th1sWasAT... - 2,996 views - 9 months ago
I perhaps wasn't explicit enough when I said "Feel free to go and press your nose up against the glass of her enclosure, but refrain from attacking or taunting." I do NOT advocate you guys harassing her over this, and apparently a few of you are. On the one hand I can't be too surprised considering I took pains to mention her name and link to her profile. On the other hand, the pwnage has already been dealt. If you think she is an imbecile - and I would have every sympathy with this perspective - post in the comments and snigger. Anything further moves into the murkier realm of Being A Twat.

High Quality:

Whilst wandering through Youtubes many caverns and slopes, I came across a strange creature - moist and pale as an ecclesiastical handshake, this thing, and huddled shivering on the ground. Much as a scientist might peer under a hitherto undisturbed stone, I approached the beast.

I realised - too late! - that this poor, wretched thing was actually a Christian fundamentalist. Feeling disgust but also a sickened pity, I tried engaging it in conversation . . . but it eventually bloated itself into an oblate spheroid and rolled into the shadows.

The conversation we had may be of some interest to you all.


First, of course, I'd like to thank AndromedasWake for encouraging me to turn the transcript into a video, voicing my opponent himself and finally taking on the task of editing the video. The result is as sleek and polished as weve all come to expect and demand. Technically, of course, AW guest starred in my video - but we all know that I actually guest starred in his. He can be found here, nestled amongst high-quality astrophysics videos:

And meljane1970, whom I must thank for a diverting couple of days, can be found here:

Feel free to go and press your nose up against the glass of her enclosure, but refrain from attacking or taunting.

You can find the original conversation in the comments of this video:

This was the first video by EdwardCurrent I'd seen, and you all probably knew him as being a bit special before I did. Check out that bastard.

Religion And Other Curious Beasts, Part II - Prayer Th1sWasAT... - 1,770 views - 9 months ago
It's been far too long - I had the audio to this recorded shortly after I made the first one, but a spell of internet death somewhat interrupted my working on it for, oo, fucking AGES. As a result it's more rushed than I'd have liked, editing-wise, but there's still some meat for the old brainhole to work on.

As always, sub if you like it.

Music by a uniquely talented and jolly spiffing fellow who can be found here: www.myspace.com/electricsympho ny. I didn't ask his permission, so keep quiet.

EDIT: there are images of poo and other things you may not like, also some bad language. You have been warned. Thanks also to AndromedasWake for featuring me . . . clear skies, buddy . . .

Harry Potter And The Hammer Of Science Th1sWasAT... - 1,025 views - 5 months ago
Forced into conflict with a great and terrible foe, Ben Stein must use all his wit to emerge victorious. But the epic finale is tinged with sadness; the old ways of creationism are dying out.

"Absolute shit" - Ben Stein

"I quite liked it" - Richard Dawkins

I used to be able to ignore the vast, hallowed range of bullshit that religious types promulgate as fact. I used to avert my face when people used an unauthorised human text as justification for all the bigotries and idiocies that an intellectually stunted demographic could inflict upon the world. I even used to believe in God myself, until I thought about it for more than two minutes consecutively.

I long for the time when we can look up at the mountain of burning religious texts, clasp hands against the clear skies, and say "This was a triumph."

You will be expected to bring your own cake, though.

Beliefs are like faces; so few people can see what's wrong with their own.
What you really need is a metaphysical plastic surgeon to straighten the nose, plump those saggy lips and suck out the fat.

I'm sure someone will point out the irony in the preceding statement, so whenever you do, I already know.

Thanks for the font recommendation! I tried a simple white instead and it brightened it right up :)
myjeansaretooshort (1 week ago)
Oh, and BTW, I absolutely LOVE your philosophy! I know this will sound really creepy, but you are like a visionary! Although, I completely agree that the eradication of religion and thus religious conflict is a step forward, you must realize that the people of these religions will not be so understanding, and until the majority accepts the damaging effects of religion on the world, you would be prohibiting their freedoms. I personally believe that religion is based completely on the fear of death, and does indeed serve a hopeful cause, yet it has now escalated to fear of a higher power, which is responded to by worship and groveling, which dates back to medieval times, where idolization was such a HUGE issue. Whenever I attend a church for any reason, I am always frightened by the almost cultist chanting (and no, it is not the devil in my soul being offended by the holy chanting LOL)

Anywho, great work, again.
myjeansaretooshort (1 week ago)
Oh, and to StewieGriffin2009: I want to remind you that what you are saying directly violates the hate-speech clause in the youtube guidelines, for it IS hate-speech about our religion. Let me remind you of the irony of this, for this man is fighting to eradicate that particular statement, yet you would go against him by breaking the very same rule he is trying to obliterate so that you can LEGALLY make remarks like that... I completely understand your hatred, and am not going to oppose your beliefs, however different they may be from mine. I try and be cognizant of ALL religions, and find that if you could possibly do that too, we could coincide and even befriend each other without suppressed tension and resentment. Thank you...
myjeansaretooshort (1 week ago)
I cannot believe the multitudes of similarities between our beliefs. I too have devoted most of my life to music (and writing, also, actually) and completely agree with you about how people discriminate types of music, yet discriminating religion is different for some reason. They ARE basically the same thing: preferences inherited at first, then developed into more individualistic beliefs that usually coincide with another coterie. I just want to say hats off...

" Let's hear how Clapton is a phony, then. Go on. The internet is waiting."

Ok maybe I expressed awkwardly however what I meant so say was that Clapton really isn't that good. A bunch of better guitar players - but they lacked 2 things. They wouldn't get the radio time(and you know that music industry doesn't seek talent but money especially nowadays) and they weren't english. Rory for example played the real blues, he devoted his life to it, didn't care for singles and money but for the music and soul...I can't really say that about Eric, can I?
No hard feelings friend, bye!
