Using Beer To Explain Mutations: Kanbei85 (part 2)

[a11m0n]

A video I just saw reminded me of your videos and made me laugh. You should watch, 1980 Calvin Klein Jeans Commercial feat. Brooke Shields .

[SwissTopper]

@a11m0n Just watched it :D And no I'm NOT going to do a re-make :D

[iamsuperfritz]

watching your video however might lead one to believe that horizontal gene transfer could occur in higher level organisms which would be crazy wild... i would love to have some genes which allow electric eels to use electrical currents or something like that... i think i just came up with a new superhero plot!

[iamsuperfritz]

maybe this is how i can get my students to pay attention in evolution lab!

[memonk11]

Great video!. Thanks for the refresher.

[jestarthornton]

Go NZ Beer!

Just picture a Tui advert:

Evolution couldn't possibly make sense.... Yeah right.

[SwissTopper]

@jestarthornton Hahah, classic :D

[leungchaan]

Now you got me suspicious... I recognize Leffe la vieille cuvée and Samuel Adams. But what are the names of the other ones? Especially the one with the grey label and the swing top.

[SwissTopper]

@leungchaan The swing-top bottle is from Freihof, a small local brewery. And the other bottle is Tui, from New Zealand.

[leungchaan]

@SwissTopper Oh, that's in Gossau! And I thought, I knew all swiss beers at least by name... :-) But with all the Micro-Breweries popping up lately (which is fantastic; finally, Switzerland starts developing something like a beer culture), it's hard to stay on top of things. Thanks! I'll check out, where I can get them; I'm really curious about that "kiwi" beer...

[SwissTopper]

@leungchaan Don't get too curious about that NZ beer, to be honest its not one of our best :D

[JustJobeMY]

Aww, you represented the virus genes with a Linden's bunneh :( i like the Linden's bunneh...

[lolcat23]

really good and fun videos :)

Here's a tip though, i listened to your video on pretty good cans, so i could hear your mouth movements very clearly that were picked up by your very naked microphones. You could try putting a fluffy material over the microphone to get rid of it, wool socks are a favorite, but anything that isnt too dense but will stop the little puffs of air coming from "P"s and little high frequency noises from moving the tongue around or opening the mouth after an "M".

[SwissTopper]

@lolcat23 Hey, thanks for the tip :) My mic is just a cheap headset one, but I'll keep that in mind regardless :)

[TaborDL]

@lolcat23 great now all I can focus on is the mouth movement sounds.

[smaakjeks]

Woo, beer! Woo, science! Woo, same shirt as I have!

....Woo!

[cansurfer1]

Great post, and good to see you back :)

[Darw1n1st]

Enjoy all that beer bastard!

As for creationists, you couldn't teach them even if you implanted a chip in their brains (they are immune to knowledge) lol.

[saxmanchiro]

I think you lost the average Creationist around 0:15 since they didn't listen in bio class in high school and don't even understand what a gene is. Either that or the teacher they had didn't teach it out of dislike or maybe spun the material to reflect their personal theistic take on the matter, or they slept in class, forgot it, didn't want to learn it out of disdain and discomfort in that if they believed it, they were going to hell, or maybe they were told to not listen by clergy.

[SwissTopper]

@saxmanchiro Well, if I can't reach them with Beer, i guess there is just no hope :D

[saxmanchiro]

@SwissTopper They were supposed to learn about beer too( yeast and their ability to ferment sugars) and probably think god developed it for our consumption.

[GrapplingIgnorance]

Cheers!

[Ainulindale21]

aaaand where the fuck you been ya swiss bastard? :]

[SwissTopper]

@Ainulindale21 Drinker beer, mainly :D

although I do have a monty python related colab vid in the works that I'll need your help on, details to come...

[000whiterabbit]

yip

[NairneJohnston]

awesome video, just one quick question, Where is your Hoegaarden gene?

[SwissTopper]

@NairneJohnston Haha, sorry, Hoegaarden is unfortunately not one of my favourite beers, although, with that said it does make an excellent breakfast beer :)

[ILYIAB]

Can I join the party? Excellent vid!

[SwissTopper]

@ILYIAB Absolutely! You bring the transposons I'll grab the cold plasmids :D

[ILYIAB]

@SwissTopper Great! When? ;-)

[jimthepleb]

good vid, gunna have to watch it a few times to learn it tho, but what you're essentially saying is if i drink too much beer and eat too much chocolate and jam i won't fit into my jeans anymore... think ive got that right

[SwissTopper]

@jimthepleb Either that or genetics is all about drinking enough beer until it all makes sense :D

[itsjustameme]

Fantastic video

[Gontaza]

For some reason I want a beer now, and a bunny.

[SwissTopper]

@Gontaza Me too, and bugger the genetic consequences :D

[jimthepleb]

is that a flavoured leffe? why the purple top?

[SwissTopper]

@jimthepleb its a Leffe Vieille Cuvée, currently my favorite of the Leffe brews.

[leungchaan]

@SwissTopper Oh, yeah. Goes extremely well with oven roasted chicken..
