Carlsen is a great player, but does not (yet) dominate like Fischer or Kasparov. Kramnik (opening door at 2:18) won London, Nakamura 2nd, Carlsen 3rd.

Good English for a kraut. maybe he could get into movies or politics.

Saint Saens maybe lived too long. By 1921 his music was mostly forgotten (old fashioned romantic).

what is peak age for violinist, about 20-25?

Every season she get more beautiful.

Not much action here. I was hoping for a pile driver or figure four leglock, but I guess these are just amateurs.

The nuthouse at the end looks even worse than the one in Forman's Cuckoo's Nest.

Mozart must have been in the upper income bracket to afford a place like that in the middle of Vienna.

Sounds like a very easy piece to memorize. It had to be easy so the prince could play it.

This Salieri guy was all obsessed with God, why me, why Mozart, blah blah. There is no God, it's all a random throw of the genetic dice, and some people just get more talent than others.

Gene Kelly never spoke to any of the people involved in this movie again.

There is a newer version by the same pianist here also. You can tell he's slowed down a good deal over the years, but it happens to everyone. (Look at Muhammad Ali)

As I'm sure most people know, this piece was originally dedicated to the Emperor Napoleon Buonoparte. Later Beethoven decided that ...

Why does these Japanese listen to German music?

A spirited performance, worthy of the Emperor Napoleon in whose honor it was written (Beethoven considered Napoleon to be equal to the best of the Roman rulers).

it will be a boring tdf without alberto

Why did the sniper shoot the private when he could have shot the captain? usually snipers don't waste ammo on lower ranks, or give away their location.

As long as it makes money and creates jobs that's the main thing right?

All the hot young babes are Christians nowadays

Sorry, I can't believe people in the 1700s could build something like that. Things were too backward. This was built (at the earliest) around 1925.

Stupid Germans - they aren't supposed to shoot at the medics.

Those soldiers were weighed down with too much junk so many drowned.

paulybarr -The gal in white was giving lenny the eye all though the piece. A total waste of her time of course.

How must did it cost to hire all those musicians?

A fish came up on land, grew legs, and started to walk.

OK, sure, happens all the time (and they say the Bible is hard to believe...)

OK, it couldn't survive due to poor swimming skills (not surprising for a land animal), so it adapts a flat tail, flippers, and a streamlined shape. Not all at once of course, it takes thousands of generations, and somehow (?) it avoids being shark food until all this happens.

Obviously an aquatic dinosaur

you seen one metal band, ya seen them all

Dawkins in Lynchburg (Bible belt)...hope they don't lynch him.

That story about one scientist thanking the other for proving him wrong is harder to believe than the one about Virgin Mary. gee thanks, I could lose my grant and my next book won't sell but thanks, yeah right.

Darwinism is not just improbable, but impossible. It violates the 2nd law of thermodyn...

I am outraged and strongly opposed to this mistreatment! Cats make great companions, especially for people who admire independence in their pets. If you do not want to care for the animal there are no-kill shelters which do their best to find loving homes for these fine animals.

Your tax dollars at work...Cool looking boat but the real test will be combat, defending Taiwan from the Chinese People's Liberation Navy (2015).

What is he proposing here, socialized medicine?

This is not the real reactor, just a decoy for Israel to bomb...The real one is buried deep underground, where only the USA has weapons powerful enough to destroy it.

Tibetans trying to keep out Chinese is like the Native Americans trying to keep out the whites. Hopeless in the long run. They may as well adapt to China because they are going to rule Asia.

Only Libras and a few Geminis are dumb enough to still believe in astrology.

Friedman's points about taking any idea to an extreme are valid. That includes Keynesianism, socialism, or laissez-faire capitalism.

A prince ought to take care that he never lets

anything slip from his lips that is not replete with the above-named

five qualities, that he may appear to him who sees and hears him

altogether merciful, faithful, humane, upright, and religious. There

is nothing more necessary to appear to have tha...

They rape, they kill, they slaughter for America!

Back in the plantation days slaves were rewarded for having more children, more money for the master, and now they don't know how to stop.

proves that not all homosexuals have talent

I said all along, we should have used the Nukes. Sometimes it's the only way to stop the vermin.
