    Mike, cracking list as ever; I really enjoy your work. You really need to tell your writers to stop making you say clickbait-y things like, ""Stick around for number n", and "You won't believe what's at number n".
    It is totally unnecessary and, dare I say, cheapens things a little. I think I speak for most when I say, we're here for all the facts and won't duck out before the end.
    Other than that, I love the work. Regards from a loyal fan in the UK.

      Pepperidge Farms in particular gives their products a very short shelf life so consumers always get a fresher product than all their competitors. 3 months for most cookies and crackers and 3 or 4 days for bread.. It mainly matters for when they ship to overseas USA bases as the products arrive expired and have to be tested by military food inspectors to certify suitability for consumption. (I was one). The amount of sugar or salt in those products would keep them from going bad much longer.

Hawaii refers to a Kingdom, a state, and archipelago, all made of several Islands (more than 100), it is also an individual island, and a county. Off the southeast coast of Hawaii Island is Kamaʻehuakanaloa Seamount (formally Loihi) which is still submersed below the waves by 975 m. Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and Haleakala (Maui) should all be taller than Mount Everest when measured from the base.

    Rice actually is a factor is removing liquid from cell phone, iPads and the like, but not as most think. You cannot use long or short grain rice, as they do put off far too much dust and will damage the circuitry. Instead make you use ‘Sticky’, Asian Rice, I have great success with Korean Rice. Then put it in a food sealer, I use a FoodSaver®️.
    Step 1: I make a bag.
    Step2: Fill it about 2/3 of way with the ‘Sticky’ Rice.
    Step 3: Lay the bag of ‘Sticky’ Rice on its side.
    Step 4: Insert the iPhone (my model, though friends have used various other models) in to the bag, in the rice with the ports facing the opening of the bag.
    Step 5: Insert the bag into the FoodSaver®️.
    Step 6: Start the cycle and let it run.
    Step 7: Set the bag aside for 6-8 hours.
    Occasionally, the process must be repeated. The success rate has been 100% for me and all those whom I know that have used this method.

    The "cellphone in rice" actually does work. At least it did for me. Back in July of 2013, I was in my bass boat out on the lake one day and accidentally left the rear live well aeration pump on and it overflowed into the "glovebox" between the two seats. Which is where I kept my iPhone 4 that day. When I went to check the time and for missed calls/texts, I realized my phone was under about 5" of water. I quickly removed it, and quickly wrapped it tightly in a towel. I did not push any buttons or the screen bcuz I knew that any touch "command would cause an electrical charge to flow and probably result in shorting out the board and frying the circuitry.
    I got back to my apartment about 2 hrs later (4;30p), stuffed it down deep into a half-full box of rice, and left it there until I got up the next morning around 7a to go to work. Before I left, I put it on the charger until I got home later on that day. When I got home, I tried to turn it on and low and behold it powered up. The only lasting sign it had been submersed was the camera was looked a little bit cloudy but overall it was fine. The cloudiness went away 3 days later.
    The reason I was so desperate to save the phone was because it was my g/f's that she gave to me because I wanted another iPhone after my 3GS was stolen, and she wanted to upgrade to a Samsung Galaxy S3. She passed away two weeks prior to this incident and my phone had a lot of pictures of me and her together. So, to me, I felt since I couldn't save her, I HAD to save that phone. Man, grief makes you rationalize things in some strange, inexplicable ways sometimes.

    The “Spanish” flu actually originated in MidWestern USA. It was a form of bird flu, transmitted from wild birds, like ducks, to domesticated ducks, to human handlers. The human handlers ie young male farm hands, enlisted in the army and went to boot camp i; the eastern and southern States. Where the initial fever and contagion established itself. Then, they shipped out to the European theatre of war. The deaths began during the initial transfer, but intensified during trench warfare and passed to the general public during hospitalisation and general leave. The Spanish flu was American.

      My understanding, from the documentary, is that patient Zero was a far boy from the MidWest.

      I read in some long lost article that they believe it may have started simultaneously in the US and in Europe. Now that I'm seeing this I'm thinking it was probably just how the US government attempted to avoid responsibility or sole responsibility for such a devastating pandemic.

      I heard it was a hog farm in Kansas where it started.

    To dry a cell phone: Place the phone in a sock. Duct tape the sock to the end of your vacuum cleaners hose. Let the vacuum run on blow for an hour. I would recommend doing this outside or in a garage due to the noise. 13:45

    The Mt Everest info was confusing - I think you forgot that "highest" and "tallest" are not the same thing at all

    Dolphins are our friends, just because they have enemies that they kill doesn't mean that they'll want to kill us too. They are learning to take over the oceans like we took over the lands

      A Porpoise is only one third the size of an adult Dolphin and hardly represents an 'enemy'
      But if you think getting a bone crushing ramming by a dolphin travelling at about the speed of a torpedo then getting tossed 30ft into the air 'being friends' then sure. ok.
