Stan the icon that is Mikes Mic

In defence of people who would grill and eat the toilet seat chicken:
(1) Cooking the chicken would kill bacteria like E. coli.
(2) Also, the toilet seat is likely NOT the most disgusting place in your home. The kitchen sponge is usually 200,000 times dirtier, with about 64 million bacteria per square centimetre. 😱

*If Goosebumps were Australian and on acid* ... had to smile there.

*We've all got to make sacrifices for science* ... Bronson! And the whole brainwave thing.

Informative and so funny, science is supposed to be fun and accidents happen; they can be good accidents too.

[@adelaidedupont9017]

YES! And what is more it reminded me of a barbecuing scene in WELLMANIA - the comedy with Celeste Barber.

Bronson says "More fun than Mario Brothers"
The subtitles say "More fun than Mario Kart". #RoundTheTwist #MikesMic

I loved this when they showed it in the UK. Try Horrible Histories made by BBC, educational byt totally different style ✌️♥️

[@KatieDeGo]

What was happening on Australian TV in the late 90s?! 😅

[@moshie61]

Great Work :)

[@chrisby80]

Kind regards to ABC Science. I do love learning 😂
P.S. the “new” cast just isn’t the same as the original.
