Thang 12

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKoB0MHVBvM

I've been entertaining myself with YouTube for a couple years. My very first search was for menthos mints in Coke (or Pepsi) and this vid was the ultimate in exploding soda bottles. Titled: Diet Coke + Mentos.

After this baptism into YouTube I began to look up old TV programmes, bands (in particular those performing in Woodstock), TV dramas I missed (before IPlayer and 4OD came into being), and favorite celebrities. I'm always amazed at what one can find on YouTube. TV stations must be adding stuff from their archives since we didn't have video machines in the fifties & sixties, but I can find Shirley Temple movie clips, The Andy Griffith Show (with Ron Howard playing the young son Opie), etc.

One of my favorite channel is Simon's Cat. A must for cat owners:

The YouTube EDU didn't send me. I was surprised about the low number of University channels. The Open University one seemed the most interesting and developed which I may explore in the future. Perhaps it will provide the chemistry behind the Diet Coke + Mentos extravaganza!
