End of Term Youtube Extravaganaza

End of Term Youtube Extravaganaza

Here we are coming to the end of another term at the Davenport campus, so it is time to once again have our tri-annual youtube extravaganza. This will be my last entry before the next term, so you will have plenty of time to enjoy these clips.

Red Green: I always loved the Red Green show from Canada. Red is set at a hunting lodge in the Canadian north, and he is always coming up with novel ways to do mundane jobs, as is the case here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3X4lp-2IFT0

Isaac’s Live Lip-Dub Proposal: This is a recent viral video. You only wish you o\could have had as cool a marriage proposal! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_v7QrIW0zY

My Cat from Hell: Okay, this is a guilty pleasure. This show is on Animal Planet, and it involves musician Jackson Galaxy, weird as he is, who helps people out with their “cats from hell.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MeGq39E3Es&feature=related

Big Bang Theory and Sheldon: Funniest program on television, hands down. Jim parsons is comedic genius.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0pLmcx7aH4&feature=g-vrec

Statistics, Probability and Diagnostic Medicine:  And now we get serious! Why note spend half an hour learning about probability in medicine? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cI7TtcEZxE&feature=related

Evolution of Dance: One man, and an entire history of the past half century of American dance styles.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg

Game of Thrones: If you have not seen this, it’s on cable, it is complex, and Peter Dinklage, small in stature, is huge in acting ability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpJYNVhGf1s

The Station Agent: In fact, he is so good here is one of his best movies- a small treasure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWs0Hc02wdM

Hua Shan Plank Walk: I’m not doing this! Nope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCfVvmjf95s&feature=related

House, the end: House is the man you love to hate. Compelling television, and a boon to those of us interested in medical ethics, since he violated it every episode. I will miss Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVdZgjsjjO0&feature=related

RAGBRAI: This is as real as it gets- here is the entire ride in half an hour, from the banana bicycle to the singing nuns, pie and water slides. Only 5 weeks away now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qMZWs10YNA
