    I like the part where he says: "The History of English, in four minutes."

    Then there's the wonderful history of "spam," a joint Anglo-American coinage project. Starting out as a brand name for an American food (?), it was satirized by Monty Python and then co-opted by computer-bulletin-board nerds to become a handy all-in-one noun, adjective and non-irregular verb. It's even spelled phonetically, for a change. And I lived to see the whole story from the beginning. Talk about a living language!
