Caesium Explodes violently when simply added to cold water. It is the second most reactive element discovered by man...there aren't any youtube videos of the first, Francium, though, because I doubt the camera would survive, even if the element hadn't been observed and isolated only a few times in other chemical reactions.

hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words...yeah, someone had a great sense of humour.

For everything else, screw Mastercard, there's Monty Python ...althought admittedly it is a bit out of date, and the big bang did probably not happen in that way...and the CGI probably didn't suck as much.

Parrot fish can change their gender. If the dominant male disappears for a few days then the largest female will convert their sex.

A man once died of farting. In his act called 'The Farting Blacksmith' he would fart a tune. One day the high and low notes together proved too much, he burst a blood vessel and died.

General Grievous was one of the biggest wastes in my opinion in the history of computer graphics; many of the redundant mappings on his surface forced a single frame of him in the shot to take up to 40 hours to render. Even though the aperture would be only 740x420, it took many months to render shots with that character in them. To date he is the most complex animated character ever made.

The most complex object ever made in 3D animation was the S.S. Poseidon in the recent movie of the same name. All surfaces of the ship including deck chairs and door knobs were detailed down to the centimetre of the 700 meter ship. It was in the realm of 2,000,000 polygons.
[In comparison, Woody from Toy Story 2 was about 200,000, the Engineer from the Team Fortress 2 video is about 3,700 and a single unit in Star Wars Battlefront is roughly 600]

According to Norwegian law, a nuclear explosion on Queen Maud Land is punishable by 1 year in prison or a large fine (But will probably count as disturbing national order, which will lead to a much worse sentence).

Not for a long while though. I had some stored in the freezer for a week and it was still liquid. Unless you drink really watered down alcohol?

The faster one is traveling, the slower time goes for him. It takes extreme and currently impractical speeds to make a significant diffrence.

But to reach that velocity, one must accelerate in the first place, unless the object in question was going faster than light to begin with, like at creation.

Computers mimic the human brain only on a basic level; they both record, encode, and store information. Science is unable to tell us how or where the human brain stores information.

EDIT: I misspelled friggin' computers...

Hypnotism is only putting the human mind into a highly relaxed state at which it is very open to suggestion. The brain will only follow these suggestions if it finds they are appreopriate or 'good'. In a hypnotized stat, you are unlikely to kill yourself at someones request unless you are/were suicidal in the first place.
