WRONG. It was called "aluminum" when it was named in 1808. You guys just pointlessly added an "I" to be different.
Not to mention, there's the original Latin from which the name is derived. "Aluminum" is "of alum", which is far less nonsensical than "Aluminium" which would mean "of alums". It makes much more sense to adopt the singular. We don't say that "cuprous" means "of or related to coppers" - but rather "... to copper".
yes it does because the real America(the continent) was discovered by spaniards and conquered by spain AND england so i think they have the rights to set the standards
That has to be the dumbest reasoning I've ever heard. The fact is, the person who discovered and named the substance did NOT put a second "I" in the word. Regardless of how some backward culture decided to spell it after it was named, the actual spelling only has one "I". Any other spelling is just a colloquialism and is therefore not the established spelling, so it does NOT matter that Mexico spells it that way. It's still wrong.
You should have done a sign joke with Vera, make the V into a U for "Uera Wang".
I'll tell you something I'm going to do for my dad when I get him a gift. I'm going to wrap the box in three layers of Goriller tape and then wrap the box in normal wrapping paper. I call it, "Gorilla-Fool Wrap". And despite the name, I'm not fooling a gorilla, even though my dad has lots of body hair and long arms.
Awesome wrapping Job!! What happened, did the Red Green show offer tips on duct tape gift wrapping? LOL!! One year, I have my nephew and nice money. I put the money in an envelope, wrapped that in tin foil, put that in a small box, put that box in a bigger box. put that in a bigger box, put that box in a bigger box, and finally put that box in a back pack, and yes, I duct taped the hell out of the back pack. it was fun watching them open their gifts. LOL!!
Hi Bryan - yes, thank you. YouTube screwed up the encoding on the audio on the HD version. I have an email into their Partner Support Group to see if they can re-encode it. Thanks!
christmas eve i ran out of paper and instead of using a gift bag for the gift i sub conciously did a wrap job like yours. with tin foil and duct tape.and that was before i saw this video
If you don't use it, get rid of it. I do enjoy my 360 system - it acts as a great 'entertainment hub'; gaming on Xbox Live is great as well, except when my nephews snipe me.
man Al has nothing on my christmas wrapping...100 percent pure lambskin otherwise as parchment...old school is always the best...and i wrapped a copy of Wiifit and 100 dollar vouchar at McDonalds....oh yes the irony...
yea it sux,almost every video i try to watch in HD either it wont load,audio is out of sync or i only get audio or video but not both,Youtube really needs to work on there HD.
Hey Alfred, this is kind of a stupid question, but how did you make those labels for the gifts? I've always hated putting those stupid labels that I buy for a dollar. How do you do that? Thanks
Guess I'll have to sacrifice myself for a few moments and not look at your face in HD. It'll be tough but I think that if I pull it together I'll make it. ;)
Not a problem. These gifts were already hand delivered at a Christmas Party on the 20th. It is pending as a 'video response' to that party video, so you can see them being opened.
New stuff is being wrapped right now for delivery tonight, Christmas Eve, at the family party. So, yes, Wrap Part II is in the works!
NICE!!...I may have to uses some of these techniques to bug the crap out of my family...hey whats that device sitting on top of your xbox?.. looks like an AppleTV mixed with a dvd player..
awesome video alfred and btw my bday is on december 27th and i also say NAYNAY LOL but i hope u have an awesome christmas with loved ones and a happy new year:)
Al-mart!! Thats pretty good! You have to do a follow up video, I wanna see some faces when they go to open it and they look at the wrapping and think " Jesus H. Christ!!" (H for henry? Whateva)
You should have done a sign joke with Vera, make the V into a U for "Uera Wang".

ahh really have been waiting for this video.lol. BRILLIANT, i still remember last years, the best one ever.lol. this one yet again does the business alfred.lol. laserpod...laser stars...ahh i really got to get that, been savin for ages for that, but keep using money on apple stuff.lol.
