If your attention span is anything like mine (thanks to my best buddy the WORLD WIDE WEB), stuff I’ve decided to consume better be funny and get to the point right quick. Also if I’m to take one such consumed item seriously, it better give me mad knowledge–after all, isn’t that what living’s all about? She who gets ahead is the one able to spew the most unusual party facts.
It doesn’t even matter if the knowledge is sort of useless knowledge, because it will inevitably help me in my forthcoming (greatly successful, I assure you) Jeopardy career. I can picture Alex Trebeck now: “What traditional dinner utensil is most useful for flushing the toilet?” “What is… THE SPOON!” I will exclaim, after thumping the buzzer with force (you’ve got to be quick in these situations, because no one wants to be only a three-day Jeopardy champion).
Absurdity aside, I gained the above knowledge from the ever-entertaining YouTube channel, How To Do Anything TV. Ever wonder how to turn water into wine in the dark? Oh, yeah, they got you. In fact, below are that video as well as a selection of some of my favourites that the channel offers. (Oh yeah, and just forget I said absurdity aside, because, well…)
