  • Stephen, may I lick your elbow?

  • I'll live forever then.

  • man i pissed myself laughing at this show

  • My sister and my friend can.

  • i friend licked his elbow

  • I cut off my arms so I could lick my elbow. Then i realized i had no hand to pick it up

  • @CharlieAdams37 You fool, you only have to cut one of.

  • I have seen people do it. There are videos online of people with either freakishly flexible arms or freakishly long tounges or both. They do it easily.

  • Thumb up if you tried to lick your elbow =D

  • I've always been able to lick my elbow. Any part actually, not just the tip!

  • @TuahShinguru The question was only put forward for human beings.

  • I can lick my own elbow.

  • @mrhenk007

    Nope.

  • @Druzlaa Some people can lick their own elbow.

  • @HeavenlySword I misread that.

  • @Druzlaa bet you I can! for 100 million pounds!

  • I know the right answer. It's having many birthdays afcourse. 

  • Well my uncle never licked his elbow and he died last week. In fact all my ancestors are dead. Is that like having a genetic disposition to death. I'm afraid to get tested for ELS (Elbow Licking Syndrome). Because if I can lick it but I don't will I get full blown ELS eventually anyway. Even now I am feeling a compulsion to try....

  • did any1 else here joe at the very end saying "wheres my penis"

  • Isn't the BBC supposed to only make their money from TV licence and merchandise they sell? Yet they are earning money from ads on YouTube. I believe that is illegal.

  • @FAB12UCB BBC worldwide service can get money from adverts as it isnt funded by the British tax payer

  • @FAB12UCB I'm not sure if the conditions of the BBC's funding covers the BBC Worldwide service. Good point though - it would be interesting to have someone in the know come along and advise on this.

  • @FAB12UCB The BBC is a public service broadcaster which is why the can't show adverts. However, BBC Worldwide is a commercial subsidiary of the BBC and are therefore allowed to show adverts.

  • I licked my elbow once and I died a week later! Y'see? Proof!

  • Roasted deer penis

  • Comment removed

  • I can lick my elbow. but i dont try it with my hand on my shoulder like most people. If I hold my arm out straight and bring it back with my shoulder i can lick it. It is a sight to behold.

  • That's better than what we say here. Somebody got it started where I live that licking your elbow will cause you to promptly switch genders.

  • I can lick my own elbow. Nothing special about me either..

  • @tdemerse You're not dead yet, are you?

  • @MyOverflow I am still living indeed! Must be due to my trick.

  • I knew a man who could lick his elbow, he died when his arm snapped off.

  • There's no Black Guys in Jackass. I call shenanigans.

  • ahh the wonders of adblock plus :)

  • @Cameroncars Too bad it now stops vids loading... If you're referring to Google Chrome that is. 

  • @Nicholasclark1993 no Mozilla Firefox, never tried Google Chrome

  • what if i cut off my arm...

  • Ugh I was eating ... no longer hungry.

  • hmmm julius cesar had epilepsy, and they kept it secret because there was no cure and they thought it was posession and a # of other things. so i guessing that Pliny the elder is from after julius? please confirm for me anyone who knows

  • @hez1919 He was born about 70 years after Caesar's death.

  • I can lick my elbow!

  • I tried licking my own elbow just now and I failed.

  • i can lick my elbow :0 im gonna live foever :D (only kidding) but can actuslly lick my elbow :)

  • Comment removed

  • I am not trying to lick my elbow right now.

    Honest.

  • considering this is qi there knowledge on immortality is unexpectedly bad. cryogenics, stem cell research e.t.c.

  • @maxgunn555 Yeah nice one using the wrong their. Sorry if I distracted you from your stem cell research genius.

  • @360cbh ty. 

  • @maxgunn555 You miss the point of QI and do not understand it. You should try big brother.

  • @360cbh tell me what i dont understand about qi. im watching big brother right now.

  • @maxgunn555 I said you miss the point. If you more in tune with what was going on you wouldn't make such uninspired comments. bye.

  • @360cbh you said i didnt understand qi. yes i do unless you can enlighten me. my comment still stands. unless you can englighten me i may be wrong.

  • @maxgunn555 Cryogenics does not provide immortality for a human body, it simply prolongs it's death by slowing down the chemical reactions in cells. Stem cells are cells that can adapt to a specific job as they do not have a specified purpose, i.e. if placed on the pancreas, the stem cells would adapt to doing what cells on the pancreas would do. This would not provide immortality as the stem cells, like it's neighbours, would eventually die. And you say QI's knowledge on immortality is bad...

  • @MrJimMinchin yeah i do say it still about qi. and thanks for copying and pasting what i already knew you jack ass. stem cells do provide immortality you'd have be so stupid not to realise when the stem cells die out you just get new stem cells. well done! you learn something new every day.

  • @maxgunn555 Copy and paste from where? I think you'll find there's not one place on the internet that has worded these supposed immortality theories the same as mine. And what are you going to do when all the other cells of an organ start to die? You cannot stem cell every part of the body back to life. At one point it will become fragile enough to die. I think it's best immortality not be introduced into the world regardless, we could do with less people like you wandering aimlessly on Earth.

  • @MrJimMinchin and there goes your needless offensiveness again. sorry if my critsicing qi happened to hurt you because you've got some emotional attachment to it or you value it somewhat. if i'm not mistaken what is the logic for not being able to continually use stem cells when each part of the body dies out? secondly immortality means living indefinately doesnt mean you're invincible. and tell me why wouldnt YOU individually want to live longer than your current lifespan?

  • @maxgunn555 Needless offensiveness??? You firstly refer to me as a jackass for providing facts and then degrade my intelligence by suggesting I copy and paste! Hypocrite much. To answer your "logic" question, firstly, there are ethical concerns. Playing God and all that religious nonsense. More importantly the economic crisis that would result from lots of people being born but no one dying. Secondly I know the definition of immortality. I would rather die than be an experiment.

  • @MrJimMinchin yeah dude i already knew those facts you provided. and yet after providing them you then say imply my knowledge on them (immortality) is bad. thats offensive. ie you assumed i didnt know those facts. there isn't a lack of intelligence involved with copying and pasting i dont think so me saying you did isnt an insult on your inteligence. so hypocrite no.... yes those ethical concerns i agree are nonsense so why do you support them? economics is solved with economics. experiment?

  • @maxgunn555 Look I think we've got off on the wrong foot here. If I have offended you I apologise, I was just stating an opinion that stem cells and cryogenics shouldn't be used for immortality purposes due to the fact that they do not provide humans an indefinite life span on their own. I don't agree with the religious beliefs but the whole immortality thing could cause outrage in religious communities, and we all know what was responsible for the dark ages

  • @MrJimMinchin also i hope you dont think immortality SHOULDNT be implemented purely because it would cause outrage in religious communities. fuck them. they cant decide what everyone can and cannot do... surely you agree?

  • @maxgunn555 Oh and the economics arn't easily solved like that. If more people are being born but less people dying that means that more resources are going to be used up on old existing humans rather than providing for the next generation. And let's face it, this sort of procedure won't be around for many decades. It's going to need someone to test it on and I'd rather not be that person.

  • @MrJimMinchin economics always solves itself. if immortality is valued in and of itself then ie demanded then people will get it without becoming economists and predicting the world thereafter. and if things do go bad then there'lll be a demand for the solution which will be found. if we're clever enough to invent immortality drug/whatever we can fix the problems associated one would believe. people would have children less. we'll probably have renewable energy by then. it may be around in mylif

  • @maxgunn555 here's hoping you're right. The current financial climate has to get better...if it gets any worse, Europe is damned. If people do end up becoming immortal thorugh different sorts of treatment, then families will be having children at a much later age provided their bodies can take it.

  • @MrJimMinchin i agree though im only 19 so i have no idea really what this economy in a recession means as it hasnt' affected me at all really. apart from when you consider governmental things like tuition fees which are all a result of of keynesian nonsense anyway. i think immortality may be around in 100 years time because they already have stem cell research, they already have mice immotal so yeah.

  • @maxgunn555 basically, the recession we see today is around because a load of banks went into bankruptcy because the people that borrowed loans didn't pay them back and simply vanished. It was effectively theft. Now we see all these job cut backs to save money needed to get Britain out of a 6 billion pound debt, but because no one is working, no one has any money to put back into the economy and because wages are being docked, those that do have money have scarcely anything to put in.

  • @maxgunn555 Cameron doesn't realise that he cannot clear a debt that large in such a small amount of time. It should take a decade minimum, providing people still have jobs and thus money to put back into the country. We're always going to be in debt somehow, we just have to find ways of making it as small as possible, and the way we do that is to get more people working. Oh and medical researches are advancing incredibly quickly nowadays so stem cells should bring many more gifts to the table

  • @MrJimMinchin you're a high information guy.. thnx for all that information just as good as that stem cell research first post you gave me. thing is all that you just said is what i meant by keynesian nonsense. if we didnt have governmental interference we wouldnt have these economic problems of debt. the reason they have debt is because they do more than they should like world policing and various other stuff even the nhs isnt necesary from government. so hopefully some libertarian will come.

  • @maxgunn555 Okay, here's what I see.

    -You started out with a vague, barely legible post that was criticizing the accuracy of ancient Roman beliefs with modern science. Somebody called you out on it, albeit in a rude way, so you began attacking 2 people?

    -You fail to support your beginning thesis other than by claiming that stem cells can essentially become anything. When rebuked, you claim the other person copied and pasted (Which you then claimed wasn't insulting) and called them a jack-ass.

  • @MisterQwerty013 dont think i was criticising the accuracy of ancient roman beliefs. i jsut remember criticising what QI program felt was a good thing to talk about related to immortality. you havent made any refutes to my points. im sure you think i'm wrong but you'll have to explain why. i didnt attack anyone - that jimmichin initialy attacked me by implying i had poor knowledge on the subject. 'logic deflated by lack of spelling' - the two arent connected and you mean 'lack of CORRECT speling

  • @maxgunn555 Okay, maybe I did miss out a word or two, as did you when you quoted me. What I said was that your logic was FURTHER deflated.

    Had I anything to rebuke, I would. As it is, I feel no need to search through 3 pages of posts to counter points that Jim here has already kindly rebuked. If you wish to provide a new fallacious claim, be my guest.

  • @MisterQwerty013 if you do read through you'll notice that when i ask jim to explain why you cant potentially use stem cells on all areas of the body as he said is impossible, he didnt answer that 'logic' but he seemed to miss out that out and answer by talking about the ethics and economics of immortality. dont link grammar and spelling to logic. and it's 400 word limit and i'm touchtyping. and i hope you take back i didnt 'attack' anyone let alone 2 people...

  • @maxgunn555 There comes a point in an argument where you realise that even if you are in the right, it will bring no prize other than being right. "Being right in an argument on YouTube" is not really an achievement. Thus, I gave up trying to put my PoV across as you weren't paying attention to anyone but yourself. The effort involved in trying to correct someone of a deluded future of immortality via stem cells is more than what I can be bothered giving. Thus this is my last message to you.

  • @MrJimMinchin ok but you must realise the way you responded to my 'logic' question was completley bizare as you answered it as an economic/ethical question when it was a question on biology related to the point you had made before. being right means understanding correctly. i dont see how you possibly prove yourself to be correct when you answer questions as i've just described.

  • @maxgunn555

    -You then claim that any problem created by lack of resources resulting from immortality will be automagically solved by the economy, and continue arguing the point with no new relevant information.

    -Then, you state that you don't really understand all of this, as you don't suffer the effects, yet you continue to believe you're completely correct.

    -Through this whole time, your faulty logic is being further deflated by the lack of spelling and punctuation in all of your posts.

  • @MrJimMinchin And YOU, sir. What were you thinking? Youtube is no place for logical commentary.

  • @MisterQwerty013 Thank you for that thought :L I won't be attempting any sort of intellectual debate on YouTube again. And good on you for sticking up for me. Glad to see there is still good left on here.

  • @MrJimMinchin someone has come in and decided im in the wrong. so im looking over our convo. i asked you here why can't you use stem cells when each part of the body dies out as you had told me you can't do this. you didnt answer that even though you said ' to answer your logic question' lol. you talked of ethics and economics but didnt answer the biological question of whether or not each part of body can be done. surely it can be done. so do you take back yoru claim it can't?

  • If people do not like commercials do the following.

    Download Firefox (just google it and you will be able to download it).

    Once you installed it start it and on the right top of the page it should say add-ons.

    Search 'addblock' and you shall find.

  • Surely Brits don't have to sit through the ads, right? BBCWorldcoin is an institution of fail and profit.

  • Thumbs if you can lick your own elbow like me ;d

  • try /watch?v=1mHSF0RKZEs

    Elbow licking incorrect assumption myth is a farse, not everyone can but it doesn't mean noone can

  • Why does this have an advert at the beginning when it's a BBC presentation.

    If the BBC are raising money from advertising, then surely they don't need our license fees.

  • @Krimewave186 The ad is for youtube, not the Beeb.

  • @mimkyodar youtube pay the BBC a commission of the advertising revenue generated from the adverts on their videos. The BBC have to give youtube permission to put the advert on there.

  • @Krimewave186 The BBC raise huge sums of money in lots of ways that don't involve the license fee.

  • @wordreet broadcast adverts being one of them.

  • I've seen both a midget and a baby lick their elbows before!! Why didn't I think of it when I was that young? Seemingly the taller you grow the harder it is to lick your elbow.. I'm six foot three. Dammit.

  • Some people can actually lick their elbows...

  • @specialfaiths Everyone can

  • @specialfaiths I can, just saying ;)

  • @WindowSeatVideos Post of vid of it, and attach a link then.

  • @specialfaiths i know a girl who can

  • @specialfaiths It's a bit mean though, that you might be able to do it if you had enough time to practise, which you will get if you can live forever.. but in order to get there, you have to lick it first..

  • @specialfaiths and most people can lick other people's elbows xD

  • @specialfaiths my friend can actually lick her own elbow. i couldnt believe it. she could make a lot of money out of bets!

  • @rupertshean she'll live forever xDD

  • Kentucky Fried Jackass! lolz

  • eternal life is impossible because cells survive by copying themselves. If they did this perfectly they could do this indefinitely.

    however, quantum mechanics dictate that a perfect copy is impossible.

    hence, eternal life is impossible.

  • @wubs23 If you mean the uncertainty principle i hardly think it applies. I'll be a different person tomorrow than the one i am today. This slight variation on experience hardly defines who i am. I'd settle for a pretty good copy of all my memories and thought patterns and leave it at that. I'd still consider that immortality up until the whole heat death of everything bit.

  • @gabrielcrimson i am talking about dna copying itself here. this is not done perfectly and therefore small mistakes will eventually lead to a cell that will kill itself, due to not being effective anymore.

    if it doesnt, we call that cancer. so yes, it applies.

  • A girl in my year at school can lick her elbow. True story.

  • i just broke my arm and liked my elbow now i live forever

  • I was watching Blur at Oxegen a couple of years ago when a guy came dancing through the crowd. He stopped in front of me and shouted, and then licked his own elbow, before dancing off. I was already halfway back to the campsite by the time I realised what he'd done, and my amazement finally registered. Wish I could have told him about the whole eternal life thing...

  • I can lick my elbow. Eternal life will be boring. Does anyone want to trade?

  • there are people who can lick their elvows , check google :)

  • @RickDev15 Say pretty please with sugar on top . . . and I will.

    signed King Arthur

  • Elbows are a joint, you could always lick the inside of it.

  • @ThanatoselNyx oh yeah!

  • They forgot to read the final page of the book... April Fools!

  • no shit... i can actually lick the side of the tip of my right elbow

  • @marespand Me too, but I can't be bothered recording it and putting it on here.

  • @marespand But not your left?

  • come let us lick each other's elbows....lmao
