The 5 Most Mindblowing Facts I Learned in the Last Three Minutes and Four Seconds

This music video has been floating around the electronic porn tubes for a few months now, but I only just stumbled across it, and in doing so, got about a semester’s worth of education. In three minutes and four seconds. “What A Glorious Space To Dwell (Fun Facts Song)” is exactly that: A song brimming with fun facts. Here are the five most fascinating facts I learned from it. Number four was life altering.

1) You could swim through the arteries of a blue whale’s heart.

2) An adult has two to nine pounds of bacteria in his or her body.

3) An ejaculation has more sperm than people in the United States.

4) You see your nose at all times, your brain just chooses to ignore it.

5) Optimus Prime and Eeyore were voiced by the same guy. So were Megatron and Scooby Doo.

"An adult male has two to nine pounds of bacteria in his or her body."

Really? "His or her"? Is it truly considered that insensitive to refer to an adult male simply as "he"?

But do they explain how magnets work?

Also, an erect penis is capable of lifting two car batteries.

I knew #5. #4 is going to bug me forever now because my nose is ALL I can see now that my brain is thinking about it.

Juggalo Jill - Win! Fucking magnets. How do they work?

Casey Kasum did the voice of Scooby-Doo. He did not do the voice of Megatron.

Did you know you can lick your own elbow if you try really hard?

superasente, Kasem actually did the voice of Shaggy.

Shaggy was later done by Billy West, who does many of the voices on Futurama, Doug, Looney Tunes, and Ren and Stimpy. If there was ever a guy who deserved more attention than he gets, its Billy West.

Here's a rundown of all of his characters:

Now I'm looking wildly in every direction trying to "escape" my nose but IT'S STILL THERE. I don't know how I'm going to continue my existence like this. Stop following meeeeeeee...

Billy West also did the voice of Zim in the roginal pilot of Invader Zim!

Supersante - wrong....C.C. did voice for Shaggy not Scooby.

Posted by: gunnertec at February 21, 2011 12:37 PM

The nose one is really just....woah. Too much.

I'm placing my nose in the witness protection program.

In Soviet Russia police lineup, Nose picks you.

The other day I woke up, all groggy and disoriented and I was all "WAIT. IS THAT MY NOSE. HAVE I ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO SEE MY NOSE?! WHAT THE FUCK! DO I HAVE EYE CANCER?!" and I freaked out for a bit before deciding I was being insane and that I needed coffee.

I am completely useless when I wake up.

My bad. I was under the impression that he'd done both Shaggy and Scooby.

It still isn't the same guy, though. A thirty second interenet search tells me that Don Messick did Scooby and that Frank Welker did the voice of Megatron. I think the confusion the video has is this: Don Messick also did the voice of Ratchet on The Transformers, and Frank Welker also did the voice of Fred on Scooby-Doo.

Unless -- *gasp* -- the Ghost of Don Messick is actually Old Man Frank Welker!

So you're telling the same guy voiced Fred from Scooby Doo and Megatron? Mind equally blown.

The nose thing becomes more obvious if you close one eye. There's a whole cone in the middle of your vision that your brain pretty much ignores because of the way it puts together two separate images (one from each eye). The brain does a lot of stuff like that,filtering out unimportant information, which is why we can process so much without being the size of Watson.

I think Red Herring did it!

figgy, in case you've missed it, go to your last comment and look up.

There's your winner.

And He would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for you kids.

The constant presence of my nose in my field of vision is really the least of the things my brain willfully chooses to ignore on a daily basis.

That said, it is pretty trippy, isn't it?

Posted by: MM at February 21, 2011 5:25 PM

I'm really a lot more freaked out by all those people born without anuses (ani?) I guess they have to bag it.

Listen harder.

"An adult human..."

Unless you're saying women aren't humans. You sexist mother fucker!

Ahem, sorry. That should be: "You sexist parent fucker!"

The nose one reminds me of a couple of things I read a year or two ago (can't remember the name of the book atm) about how our brain works.

1. We all have a small blind spot in each of our eye's views... a black dot which our brain fills in from observing everything around it.

2(much cooler)... we don't actually observe reality, then process it afterwards. Our brain is at all times looking split-seconds into the future based on what it has seen and what it knows. It assumes what it thinks should be there, then corrects if it's wrong. This explains why sometimes you're so sure you see something out of the corner of your eye (I always think my cat is next to me when he's not).. You actually did see it! Your brain put that image there as if it was real, until it realized that it was't there, at which point it corrected the error by removing the image.

Just thought I'd geek it up a little.

JohnnyBee just BLEW MY MIND!

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at February 22, 2011 10:55 AM

After JohnnyBee's comment I feel like I'm in the fucking Matrix. So now my brain sees the future and my mind doesn't let me see my nose...I'm scared for new comments. I'm learning TOO MUCH!

Posted by: Melina at February 22, 2011 1:01 PM

I think the book was called The Brain That Fixes Itself, although I could be completely wrong since I was reading a bunch of brain-related books at the time.

Posted by: JohnnyBee at February 22, 2011 3:01 PM

I don't think I can handle any more fun facts after all this.
