The Worst Jobs in History - The Stuart Age - Part 3

[tuseroni]

little trivia about sulfur: burning sulfur and adding it to water makes sulfuric acid. the fumes can also combine with water to make sulfuric acid. this can happen in your lungs.

[TheDrtomz]

I think I have a CUNNING plan!!! ;)

[doggygenesis]

What I have learned so far: Urine solves everything

[caladhielr]

@doggygenesis haha yes, that is the key factor in most of the worst jobs =P

[idonteatturtles]

why are there things moving at 3:49?!?!

[olelumpy]

pee is so useful

[spleonar]

Way to poison the whole crew with that burning sulfur!

[Algivet]

Can anyone explain what the hell is going on with the spoon at 3:18?! It looks like it moved by itself! Wow, this is quite a show: history AND paranormal activity.

[JihadJoeC4]

@Algivet She accidently hit the spoon with her hand...

[crinoid1919]

@Algivet yea... what the hell is going on. I watched that 20 or 30 times. the spoon jumps away from her hand.

[Algivet]

@crinoid1919 That's what I've been saying: the spoon jumps, or seems to, anyhow. I don't know, perhaps because of the editing it's not clear that she moved it with her hand. Still...

[chandini241]

how many ppl scratched their head watching this?

[nausinora]

Planet struck! I'd never heard of that before.

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

[DarthLego100]

If i could live in any era, it would not be the stuart, it would be the georgian

[ccipollini1984]

@DarthLego100

I would not live in any era before 1890. That's even pushing it. I'm a hygein fan

[DarthLego100]

i know, they had wagons covered in dead people and the man going bring out your dead, ut;s hard how he didn't get the disease.

[swordjojo]

stuart little ?

[guysmiley00]

Interestingly, SO2 does have anti-microbial properties, so it probably did help provide some protection from disease in fumigated houses.

[humynism]

So, women did have career opportunities back then...searchers of the dead...examination of plague victims.

[butcherofbielawa]

Lesley Smith of Most Haunted fame, sounds very different here not so posh

[363Magi]

My poor ancestors and most people's of the Anglo world. :/ 

[Pinksugarelephant]

They were lucky they died young, these poor people.

[smellincoffee]

5:33: Bring out yer dead!

[datalal624]

@smellincoffee "I'm not quite dead."

"No, you'll be stone dead in a moment." :p

[LovingBundleOfHate]

@smellincoffee i'm not dead yet

[Regnberg]

@LovingBundleOfHate You're not foolin' anyone!

[schizoidboy]

That stuff they're mixing looks like frosting for cakes, of course we hear that it ain't and it smells bad (and you don't add urine to frosting.)

[Cytacon]

Hysterical woman.

[ZamfirChannel]

nit = the egg or young form of a louse or other parasitic insect, esp. the egg of a head louse attached to a human hair.

How many nits can a nitpicker pick if a nitpicker could pick nits?

[raven1234]

Dude, SO2 is dangerous stuff... Why do they do it in a enclosed room? =.=

[Lithys]

cause they wanna do the job the old fashioned way

[raven1234]

lol, if they used to do it in a chamber in the old time, they'll all to be dead before they earn themselves any money

[Lithys]

... 1. they probably learned to run out fast

2. if its not in an enclosed room how will it affect the disease carriers?

[raven1234]

anyways. It makes me feel sick even to think about it. lol

[acronus]

I'm the first viewer.

What do I win?

[TalkCreativePlanet]

There are pancakes on their way in the mail

[acronus]
