@JAGuar18858 this is a bit from "So live" DVD (I reckon that's the name of the tour as well), filmed in Sydney Opera House in 2007. I'm not entirely sure (memory may deceive me) but I think the same routine is also on "So f**king rock" DVD, which is basically the same tour but filmed in London in 2008. Hope that helps ;)
@JAGuar18858 It was from his show 'So Rock', it's on CD and two DVDs - 'So Live' (Australian version), 'So F*cking Rock' (UK version), this is from the Aus one.
I have an indented rib cage, so I am kind of one of those mutated freaks :P I like to think the benefit as people are able to get closer to my heart. Thought society thinks "WTF", I love that I am different.
sorry to be difficult but mutation is not the main driver of evolution and would not have been as drastic as a new limb - however, i am sure minchin knows this
@discipleoftheteapot Nobody who says "sorry to be difficult" really is sorry to be difficult. It's rather like the expression "it goes without saying . . . " And it's a safe bet this performer knows evolution doesn't run like his charming silly routine, so again -- why say you're sure of it?
@manthasagittarius it was just an observation, i agree with minchin and believe in evolution but was clarifying it - some creationists would watch this and go 'see, evolutionists are claiming new limbs just magically appear'
@discipleoftheteapot I see. Fair enough -- except that if you have to worry about every fundamentalist idiot's inability to see the humor or the irony of this, or how they'll use the "evidence," you'll run yourself into the ground and out of the gene pool. Not worth it.
Tim is really clever but these days I don't laugh much at his songs or arguments. While I know he is trying to do comedy and has a huge following with fans who laugh whenever he opens his mouth, I just can't crack a smile any more.
The reason for this is I am surrounded by (normally smart and reasonable) people who just can't let go of the notions of religious superstition. When I hear this song, It makes me cry. I react this way because these people of whom I speak of are the people I love.
@xxLL4MAxx You seem to have a few missconceptions my good sir. I advise some light research into genetics, P. Z Myers has a few good articles on the subject of chromosome numbers increasing. Also, Tim is obviously both simplifying and exaggerating for comic effect.
@xxLL4MAxx Humans that are not going to use their brain and intellect but continue to accept bronce age myths and mumbo-jumbo as true, should do humanity a favour and go back to the ocean with the rest of Tony's school.
@xxLL4MAxx I'm yet to hear that any of those that he listed in his song were proven, under reasonable experimental conditions. somehow, i doubt that they ever will, so Tims piano, leg and wife are safe from the nutters who believe in that sort of thing.
@GoodSteveTeiter -- True, the Iraq War was not the 3rd big war since then but take notice that not a single one of those wars involved as many countries, killed as many people or put such a huge dent in our financial system as the Iraq War has. I'm not talking about sequence or order throughout time. I'm talking about scale. Not a single one of those wars cost as much (in more ways than just money) or lasted as long as the war in Iraq. In my opinion, the war in Iraq IS the 3rd big war.
@SCRulerShinoda -- Who happened to have given at least 5 accurate predictions about 5 world disasters. Once, he might have gotten lucky. Twice, there just might be something to it. 5 times? Nuh uh. That's NOT a coincedence.
@singerg02 they weren't predictions. they were written in language that could only be applicable when someone thought hard about what goes with what. At best they are post dictions.
@SCRulerShinoda ---- ""In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb",
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"
- Nostradamus 1654"
This particular prediction speaks of the events of 9/11. There are almost 100 of predictions like this one, which were FAR to specific to be "lucky guesses". Just because they are all open to interpretation doesn't mean they aren't accurate.
@singerg02 you think it does because you can apply the details. It's vague.
They are not specific. the interpretations are extremely open because they are vague. This is the same property in the bible. any specific prophecies are bullshit, but the vague ones are all pointed to as fulfilled.
@SCRulerShinoda --- "Detail" doesn't determine accuracy, though. Just because someone says "That ball is purple" instead of "That ball is violet" doesn't mean the ball isn't still purple.
@singerg02 And given enough time (like for Nostradamus 400 years), any half way reasonable "prophecy" will come to pass whatnot with the world being such a big place and all. And the "third big war will begin" umm 9/11 didnt result in WWIII. fail.
Ps, how is New York the "city of god" as according your nostradamus? Lol.
@OsyenVyeter --- Right. It didn't result in a 3rd world war. Instead, it resulted in the death or injury of over 100,000 civilians and nearly twice that of military personnel. It also costed the U.S. upwards of $709 BILLION dollars. Yep. 9/11 didn't result of anything "serious". So why listen to Nostradamus, right? O_e
@OsyenVyeter New York is the city of god to Nostradamus because he was dyslexic (little known fact) and he actually meant to say it was the city of dog, owing to the fact that 'Tha Doggfather: The Times, Trials, and Hardcore Truths of Snoop Dogg' was published in New York.
It's obvious really, you just need to stop over-thinking things and look at clear and evident truths, like the above.
@singerg02 Unfortunately this has not been the 3rd war since 1654. What about: The Second northern war The nine years’ war The great northern war The seven years’ war The American revolutionary war The French revolutionary wars The Napoleonic wars The war of the seventh coalition The rebellions of 1837 The austro-prussian war The Balkan war Russian civil war The Vietnam War The Soviet War in Afghanistan The Invasion of Grenada The Gulf War The War in Somalia ???
@singerg02 to be honest, I just read your comment out of context, but you really think that this is specific? I can apply that prediction to nearly everything I see in the newspapers :D
@agro0 --- You can't actually. That first prediction was very specific. "In the City of God, there will be a great thunder". "The City of God" refers to one specific place. You can't just stick a pin on a place on the map and say, "Okay, this city's royally fucked sooooooo, I guess this fits the description". Doesn't work like that, sweetcheeks.
@singerg02 1) yes, "the city of god" refers to one specific place. And like you said, you can't just stick a pin on a place on the map and say" OK, i guess that fit's the description". But unfortunatelly, that's exactelly the thing you did :D
You said the city of god is new york, as you refer to 9/11? First of all, why should this be the city of god? You are already interprating (in a way probalby based on your culture-specific background, namely the USA). That's fine, because we all do that.
@singerg02 2) unfortunately, the only city which is really called "city of gods"(Cidade de deus), is a district in rio de janeiro. I mean, you could even choose the Vatican and say it's the city of gods, because it's center point of the Catholic church. As you see, you already interpreted your whole reference. Sorry for destroing your superstition :(
@agro0 ---- If any city is the city of God, it's New York. Why? Because it represents what we are as a whole to the rest of the world and you will not find a more unique mix of people anywhere else in the world. You have a good point about Vatican city, but, as I'm sure you know (or SHOULD know) not everyone in the world is Catholic or even religious and, therefore, is the center of the Catholic world and the Catholic world only. There's more to life than religion. Vatican City is definitely
@singerg02 nope, not out of the equation. But dude, believe what you want to believe. Guys like you doesn't have the abiltiy to think rational anyway :S
@agro0 --- Says the moron who called someone who is very obviously female "dude"? Hah! Yeah, you make a great judge of rationality (or lack thereof ). Get a clue, "dude".
@agro0 --- You mean besides the way I talk, my attitude, the fact that "g" in my name is for "girl" and that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to click a button and check my bright pink page which shows in plain lettering that I am, in fact, a girl?
@singerg02 1) I know a lot of guys who talk like this. 2) Sorry for not understanding the letter "g", the official letter for "girl" without the possibility of any other meaning. Is 02 your year of birth? 3) Your pink page is nice, a gay friend of mine has one that looks similar. I don't judge people according to the way their youtube channel looks like, you know. Sorry for calling you a dude if you aren't one, I am such a terrible person -.-'
@agro0 --- Oh, that's nice. You talk to girly guys often? Awww. I'm sorry you haven't the sense to actually take a look at who you're talking to before you go making a dumb assumption. :) And, by the way, if you'll notice, my FEMALE profile pic and tag which says in clear lettering (once again) "Female" should have given it away, whether the pink background does the trick or not. I don't know about you, but, I actually investigate when I talk to people. I don't jump to conclusions. My bad. :)
@singerg02 as Im sure many people have already told you, first off when you make as many predictions as Nostradamus youre BOUND to get some right, thats the property of a sub machine gun. no one ever pays attention to unfulfilled prophecies. Creative interpretation: "what soft light through yonder window breaks" AH! Shakespeare is talking about the prismatic effect of light!! 3: well OF COURSE he forecasted disasters, we live on a FREAKING planet! thats what planets do you know, have disasters.
@OsyenVyeter --- Shakespeare was talking about sunlight shining through a window..... there IS such a thing as over-thinking things. Some things are plain and simple. Sunlight? Simple. Windows? Simple. Nostradamus's predictions were FAR too details to be a "lucky guess".
@OsyenVyeter --- Shakespeare was talking about sunlight shining through a window..... there IS such a thing as over-thinking things. Some things are plain and simple. Sunlight? Simple. Windows? Simple. Nostradamus's predictions were FAR too detailed to be a "lucky guess". Once again: Just. because. his. predictions. are. open. to. interpretation. does. not. mean. they. are. not. accurate!
10^-140 may seem like a very large number, but the universe is a four dimensional space so inconceivably vast that the improbable quickly becomes not only probable, but likely. Also, there have been very, very many more E. Coli on this planet than can reasonably be calculated. Just be assured that the number is also vast, and that empiricism has proven that genetic mutations occur in bacteria at an alarming rate. Also, bacteria don't need to slowly evolve; conjugation helps a lot.
@Diosukekun well, i dont know about 'evilution', that could be a lie for all i know, but im about 100% certain that evolution is correct, and that god is fairly non-existant. but i dont believe jesus was a schizophrenic, i think he was just super awesome at dolling out bullshit and getting people to believe him.
@Diosukekun You can't even spell evolution, which makes you sound even more like an ignorant commenter rather than one with a sensible understanding and corresponding argument.
@firetruckracer I think that might have been a deliberate really bad pun to indicate evolution is evil. Religious people tend to do things like that. *shudder*
@agro0 not only is it next to impossible that a random mutation will suddenly give you feet, at the same time you have to get another random mutation in your brain that will enable you to move that new body part. it's just defies common sense
@Diosukekun lol, sure this doesn't happen suddenly. It's a process over millions of years. And of course the mutation isn't "random". A mutation is never "random". do you think the human race just plopped out of nowhere?
@agro0 It is random and evolution clearly has worked. Are you forgetting the natural selection process, or would you like me to explain the mathematics of probability?
@agro0 First off I'd like to say that the mutations are random, but the evolution process is not so. Can you verify the source and validity of this p=10^-140. I wasn't aware that physics had a way of so accurately predicting chance, unless of course Intelligent design proponents just made it up and you copied it over here like a good little sheep.
@mrfrankincense the source is: Junker R, Scherer S (1998) Evolution - Ein kritisches Lehrbuch. Weyel, Gießen. Unforunately the source is german :S And I can't really figure it out for you, because my english sucks :S
@Diosukekun The theory of evolution by natural selection posits that the random mutation giving rise to feet did not just happen in one generation but over many and also that this beneficial mutation was accompanied by vast numbers of bad mutations meaning that it defies no laws about probability.
@mrfrankincense let's say a chain of bad mutations eventually lead to something good, like feet. then why didn't evolution get rid of those few mutants who had those bad mutations before it had the chance to become something good? for a new body part to become something useful a several mutations have to happen at the same time(brain, neural system, etc), else it would be just evolutionary balast. so it contradicts itself.
@Diosukekun You're right, in one respect; a series of generations inflicted with detrimental mutations would die, even if it was going to lead to something good. But that is why evolution has not created things like wheels. For wheels to evolve in an organism a mutation must cause an axle, wheels and things to hold the axle in place all at once because on there own they would be useless. However organisms only have organs where each step is advantageous.
@mrfrankincense Most adaptations existed before the brain and the brain would have gradually mutated to grow nerves in more and more organs as the generations passed. How the brain would adapt to controlling these things is central to how a brain works. By nature of the brain it can send and receive an impulse from all of the nerves connected to it and can learn in what way it should manipulate these signals. These are good questions, but answers exist, don't be too coy in your dismissal.
@mrfrankincense at what point would it be advantageous to have a new body part that's disconnected from our nervous system and at what point would it be advantageous to have some superflous neural pathways? this is just an example
@Diosukekun Organs do not just spring up, so there was no point where a mutation gave tony some feet without nerves. He already had fins which gradually became more foot like and they retained the nerves that the fin had. If you are asking about the times when the brain first evolved , it did so in organisms which were already functioning well before they had that brain. The brain evolved separately from the organs that it controls.

singerg02 11 months ago
@singerg02 they weren't predictions. they were written in language that could only be applicable when someone thought hard about what goes with what. At best they are post dictions.

@SCRulerShinoda ---- ""In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb",
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"
- Nostradamus 1654"
This particular prediction speaks of the events of 9/11. There are almost 100 of predictions like this one, which were FAR to specific to be "lucky guesses". Just because they are all open to interpretation doesn't mean they aren't accurate.
singerg02 11 months ago
@singerg02 you think it does because you can apply the details. It's vague.
They are not specific. the interpretations are extremely open because they are vague. This is the same property in the bible. any specific prophecies are bullshit, but the vague ones are all pointed to as fulfilled.

@SCRulerShinoda --- "Detail" doesn't determine accuracy, though. Just because someone says "That ball is purple" instead of "That ball is violet" doesn't mean the ball isn't still purple.
singerg02 11 months ago
@singerg02 And given enough time (like for Nostradamus 400 years), any half way reasonable "prophecy" will come to pass whatnot with the world being such a big place and all. And the "third big war will begin" umm 9/11 didnt result in WWIII. fail.
Ps, how is New York the "city of god" as according your nostradamus? Lol.

@OsyenVyeter --- Right. It didn't result in a 3rd world war. Instead, it resulted in the death or injury of over 100,000 civilians and nearly twice that of military personnel. It also costed the U.S. upwards of $709 BILLION dollars. Yep. 9/11 didn't result of anything "serious". So why listen to Nostradamus, right? O_e
singerg02 11 months ago
@OsyenVyeter New York is the city of god to Nostradamus because he was dyslexic (little known fact) and he actually meant to say it was the city of dog, owing to the fact that 'Tha Doggfather: The Times, Trials, and Hardcore Truths of Snoop Dogg' was published in New York.
It's obvious really, you just need to stop over-thinking things and look at clear and evident truths, like the above.

@singerg02 to be honest, I just read your comment out of context, but you really think that this is specific? I can apply that prediction to nearly everything I see in the newspapers :D

@agro0 --- You can't actually. That first prediction was very specific. "In the City of God, there will be a great thunder". "The City of God" refers to one specific place. You can't just stick a pin on a place on the map and say, "Okay, this city's royally fucked sooooooo, I guess this fits the description". Doesn't work like that, sweetcheeks.

@singerg02 1) yes, "the city of god" refers to one specific place. And like you said, you can't just stick a pin on a place on the map and say" OK, i guess that fit's the description". But unfortunatelly, that's exactelly the thing you did :D
You said the city of god is new york, as you refer to 9/11? First of all, why should this be the city of god? You are already interprating (in a way probalby based on your culture-specific background, namely the USA). That's fine, because we all do that.

@singerg02 2) unfortunately, the only city which is really called "city of gods"(Cidade de deus), is a district in rio de janeiro. I mean, you could even choose the Vatican and say it's the city of gods, because it's center point of the Catholic church. As you see, you already interpreted your whole reference. Sorry for destroing your superstition :(
agro0 7 months ago
@agro0 ---- If any city is the city of God, it's New York. Why? Because it represents what we are as a whole to the rest of the world and you will not find a more unique mix of people anywhere else in the world. You have a good point about Vatican city, but, as I'm sure you know (or SHOULD know) not everyone in the world is Catholic or even religious and, therefore, is the center of the Catholic world and the Catholic world only. There's more to life than religion. Vatican City is definitely
singerg02 7 months ago
@agro0 ---- out of the equation. And the city in Rio De Janeiro is just a translation coincidence. Sorry for highlighting your stupidity. :(

singerg02 7 months ago
@singerg02 1) I know a lot of guys who talk like this. 2) Sorry for not understanding the letter "g", the official letter for "girl" without the possibility of any other meaning. Is 02 your year of birth? 3) Your pink page is nice, a gay friend of mine has one that looks similar. I don't judge people according to the way their youtube channel looks like, you know. Sorry for calling you a dude if you aren't one, I am such a terrible person -.-'

@agro0 --- Oh, that's nice. You talk to girly guys often? Awww. I'm sorry you haven't the sense to actually take a look at who you're talking to before you go making a dumb assumption. :) And, by the way, if you'll notice, my FEMALE profile pic and tag which says in clear lettering (once again) "Female" should have given it away, whether the pink background does the trick or not. I don't know about you, but, I actually investigate when I talk to people. I don't jump to conclusions. My bad. :)

@singerg02 as Im sure many people have already told you, first off when you make as many predictions as Nostradamus youre BOUND to get some right, thats the property of a sub machine gun. no one ever pays attention to unfulfilled prophecies. Creative interpretation: "what soft light through yonder window breaks" AH! Shakespeare is talking about the prismatic effect of light!! 3: well OF COURSE he forecasted disasters, we live on a FREAKING planet! thats what planets do you know, have disasters.
OsyenVyeter 11 months ago
@OsyenVyeter --- Shakespeare was talking about sunlight shining through a window..... there IS such a thing as over-thinking things. Some things are plain and simple. Sunlight? Simple. Windows? Simple. Nostradamus's predictions were FAR too details to be a "lucky guess".

10^-140 may seem like a very large number, but the universe is a four dimensional space so inconceivably vast that the improbable quickly becomes not only probable, but likely. Also, there have been very, very many more E. Coli on this planet than can reasonably be calculated. Just be assured that the number is also vast, and that empiricism has proven that genetic mutations occur in bacteria at an alarming rate. Also, bacteria don't need to slowly evolve; conjugation helps a lot.

agro0 11 months ago
@agro0 not only is it next to impossible that a random mutation will suddenly give you feet, at the same time you have to get another random mutation in your brain that will enable you to move that new body part. it's just defies common sense
Diosukekun 11 months ago
@Diosukekun lol, sure this doesn't happen suddenly. It's a process over millions of years. And of course the mutation isn't "random". A mutation is never "random". do you think the human race just plopped out of nowhere?

@agro0 Well, the mutation is random.
mrfrankincense 11 months ago
@mrfrankincense nope, it can't be random. otherwise evolution wouldn't work ;)
agro0 11 months ago
@agro0 It is random and evolution clearly has worked. Are you forgetting the natural selection process, or would you like me to explain the mathematics of probability?
mrfrankincense 11 months ago
@mrfrankincense The chance of a random development of the locomotive system of Escherichia coli is 10^-140. This seems so damn impossible :D
agro0 11 months ago
@agro0 First off I'd like to say that the mutations are random, but the evolution process is not so. Can you verify the source and validity of this p=10^-140. I wasn't aware that physics had a way of so accurately predicting chance, unless of course Intelligent design proponents just made it up and you copied it over here like a good little sheep.
mrfrankincense 11 months ago
@mrfrankincense the source is: Junker R, Scherer S (1998) Evolution - Ein kritisches Lehrbuch. Weyel, Gießen. Unforunately the source is german :S And I can't really figure it out for you, because my english sucks :S
agro0 11 months ago
@Diosukekun The theory of evolution by natural selection posits that the random mutation giving rise to feet did not just happen in one generation but over many and also that this beneficial mutation was accompanied by vast numbers of bad mutations meaning that it defies no laws about probability.
mrfrankincense 11 months ago
@mrfrankincense let's say a chain of bad mutations eventually lead to something good, like feet. then why didn't evolution get rid of those few mutants who had those bad mutations before it had the chance to become something good? for a new body part to become something useful a several mutations have to happen at the same time(brain, neural system, etc), else it would be just evolutionary balast. so it contradicts itself.
Diosukekun 11 months ago
@Diosukekun You're right, in one respect; a series of generations inflicted with detrimental mutations would die, even if it was going to lead to something good. But that is why evolution has not created things like wheels. For wheels to evolve in an organism a mutation must cause an axle, wheels and things to hold the axle in place all at once because on there own they would be useless. However organisms only have organs where each step is advantageous.
mrfrankincense 11 months ago
@mrfrankincense Most adaptations existed before the brain and the brain would have gradually mutated to grow nerves in more and more organs as the generations passed. How the brain would adapt to controlling these things is central to how a brain works. By nature of the brain it can send and receive an impulse from all of the nerves connected to it and can learn in what way it should manipulate these signals. These are good questions, but answers exist, don't be too coy in your dismissal.
mrfrankincense 11 months ago
@mrfrankincense at what point would it be advantageous to have a new body part that's disconnected from our nervous system and at what point would it be advantageous to have some superflous neural pathways? this is just an example
Diosukekun 11 months ago
@Diosukekun Organs do not just spring up, so there was no point where a mutation gave tony some feet without nerves. He already had fins which gradually became more foot like and they retained the nerves that the fin had. If you are asking about the times when the brain first evolved , it did so in organisms which were already functioning well before they had that brain. The brain evolved separately from the organs that it controls.
