First time I heard that song was on the same day as the M*A*S*H episode where Radar O'Reilly's rabbit was supposed to help with a pregnancy test. I think the rabbit survived the episode (much to my relief) but that lyric always made sense to me because I understood the reference.
It's good to know how it worked. My wife once asked my 90 year old grandmother how she knew when she was pregnant with any of her 8 children. She told us that peed on rabbits and the rabbit died. We were just thinking that there was something in the urine that killed them. Glad we have strips now instead of murdering cute and cuddly mammals
TIFO question: How does something give off odor? If there is a piece of doodoo left in the toilet, you're able to smell it, but how? Odors can be measured in PPM, but are there actually tiny particles of that poo in the air? If so, how many particles are necessary before you can taste it?
There is a movie called "Rabbit Test" from 1978 that starred Billy Crystal as a pregnant man. I remember seeing it as a kid when it came out and it is obviously a comedy. There is also an episode of M.A.S.H. where Nurse Houlihan (Hot Lips) thinks she is pregnant and they use one of Radar's pet rabbits to do the test, only Hawkeye does surgery on the rabbit to check the ovaries without killing it, which is something that no one is supposed to have ever done.
Since I had a surgery to ensure that I would never kill a rabbit in this way, I know that any pregnancy test that says I'm preggers is a false positive.
@Mackenzi Rller: the literal definition of parasite: "an organism that lives in or on an organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense." What we said was 100% accurate. -Daven
I read the text in the thumbnail first and got all excited thinking it was going to be about bunnies and hats and magicians :'( (Well yes, okay... it's nice to know what happens to bunnies in general.)
People really were wilding back in the day, huh? "Yo girl lemme drink your pee" "What? Ew, no" "I can tell by its taste if you're pregnant" "Oh, sounds legit"
Husband: _"There's something I need to tell you. I'm pregnant, and it's yours."_ Wife: _"What? Thats not how it works! "_ Husband to himself: Good. Now if you find out later, I can say I told you _in the exact word for word,_ what my secretary told me this morning, .... but then you argued and told me that's not how it works.
Simon, could you possibly describe to me in that smooth buttery voice of yours how water manages to evaporate out of puddles/lakes/oceans/ect without ever being heated to a boil?
Can you manage the embarrassment of a young teenage girl thinking that she may be in trouble, and goes to her local pharmacy only to be told "Good girls don't buy rabbits!"
Because the years 1 through to 100 were the first 100 years CE (AD) or to word it another way - years 1 to 100 are the first century. This just continues on with 101 to 200 being the 2nd century right up to 2001 to 2100 being the 21st century. Literally when one says “19th century” they are actually saying “19th century since the current era started”
I didn't have IVF, but my doctor used Letrozole and HCG injections to induce ovulation when I was being treated for infertility. It worked a charm, got my baby girl on the forth dose.
Anyone who has seen enough MASH knows what the rabbit has to do with it...and any man who takes a pregnancy pee test and has it end up positive should go see an oncologist.
This video came to be helpful to me as I recently watched "The Five Pennies" (1959) and the protagonist mentions a rabbit when his wife mentions she's pregnant and I didn't understand the reference.
I have three children - all adult now. I never had a positive pregnancy test. The start of morning sickness the day my period should have started was a great indicator, however.
Watching Simon attempt to pronounce medical terms is one of my favourite parts of this channel. You pronounced "immunoassay" correctly the first time :P
You were right: immuno-ASSay. That's what we called it at the lab I worked at, and by every university professor that researched with RIA, EIA, and ELISA.
How do you ask for that? I get urine tests happen around the clock but, for science research? Kinda like "hey, I need you to pee in this cup... for science"
I love the content and thanks for the knowledge. I also really enjoy the little mistakes left in post edit. It Let's you know your heros are human too.
I used the 1971 test in the U.S. and it was expensive and after you put the urine in you couldn't touch or move the test for like 12 hrs. Can't remember the exact time,but it took awhile. If moved, bumped, it could result in a incorrect result.
"if they were completely inaccurate, people would've stop using them" - yeah, that's why there's no such things as horoscopes, homeopathy and religion anymore.
Every time he said "rabbit test" I thought of the one where you hold a male rabbit towards a woman. Its supposed to bleed from its eyes if your pregnant or something. Old wives tale.
Did Simon just say children were cancer? Well at the very least he said children are problems which while harsh is as accurate as bundle of joy I suppose.
In ancient Egypt, the pregnant woman would pee on some wheat and some barley, and depending which-one would start growing first, would indicate whenever the unborn child was male or female. ^^;
I just recently learned about HGC in my biology class before classes went online. HGC has been proven to aid weightloss because the hormone promotes the burning of fat for energy instead carbohydrates in pregnant women. Since burning fat produces more ATP than carbs it makes keeping a pregnant woman and the baby properly nourished easier. There are doctors that use it to aid weightloss for extremely overweight people but it is extremely monitored and is injected by the doctor
May I just add real quick that these were not doctors doing this test on the frogs and rabbits. They probably helped develop the method but for the most part, THESE WERE LABORATORY PROFESSIONALS. Not doctors. And we're still around and still go unnoticed.
When do dolphins identify pregnancy? When the heartbeat has started it would be very obvious, but maybe earlier? And why would a tiger recognize pregnancy?
I was recently in a discussion about the mosquito , I was always told that stagnant water equals mosquitoes. With a bit of shame I have to admit that i thought about it rather naively I think in also thinking that the stagnant water also in a way created them as well lol yeah yeah funny but still could u please . I get evolution and all that but what creates mosquitoes, i want to say initially,do they really migrate around looking for stagnant water even in a dry desert environment thats in a super drought ?
Calling a foetus a "parasite" and a "problem"? Utterly distasteful. Good luck explaining that to all the couples who are desperate to conceive and have children.
When my wife and I first were trying to get PG, she had a test that showed "half positive". That pregnancy did not last past 9 weeks. Just coincidence, your mileage WILL vary.
Joking but not joking ... men who test positive should go see a doctor ... I tested positive when my ex was pregnant with our son ... I mentioned it to her OB (American slang short form of OBGYN) he never mentioned that it could be a sign that I have medical problems. Wondering if I should test again and go to my primary care doctor if it's still poping positive ... I thought it was just a fluke or a bad test kit, if I wasn't in the bathroom with it, I would have thought she was messing with me since we where just messing around with a leftover test... we bought a few and once one was positive, we went to the hospital to take a more accurate test, leaving the rest of the test kits un-used so with little better to do with them as a joke I decided to take a test... was all fun and games until this video ... our son is now 11 years old... so maybe I had unchecked cancer for 11 years and could have known about it if her OB knew this... okay so joking (I'm a pregnant man), not joking (I might have had cancer for the past decade).
So the movie “Junior,” starring Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger as medical researchers, one of whom (Arnold) tests a new technique on himself and becomes pregnant, is “conceivable” in real life!
Oh great, so that positive pregnancy test could mean I'm growing a baby, but it could also mean I'm growing a tumor... I wonder how many women got a positive on a test and weren't pregnant but had cancer?
Professional urine tasters with many years of experience must have been just as accurate as great sommeliers of today are with wine. But being a sommelier is more couth by far.

There is a Fart equivalent for diagnostic purposes too.
My brain can't handle all these bonus facts lol. Now that I think of it, I can tell from my own farts if danger is on the horizon. Gross.
"You might be pregnant or you might have cancer..." thanks very reassuring
Weird growth in the body... Is there a difference? 😋
I mean, they both can kill you. So. But at least the cancer doesn't have the audacity to call you mom first.
Either way, your life as you know it is over. ;-) -Daven

Regardless of which channel, every time Simon says "I'll link to it below," I always think "Will you? Will you Simon?"

There's a reason why Steven Tyler sings the line "You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died" in Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion.

from now on, I'll have the girl I'm dating at the time pee regularly in a cup of barley.
If she asks why, I will not answer.
Tell her it's your fetish.
I appreciate that this video dropped shortly after my wife told me she was pregnant

Can you manage the embarrassment of a young teenage girl thinking that she may be in trouble, and goes to her local pharmacy only to be told "Good girls don't buy rabbits!"
Why are the 1700's known as the 18th century and the 1800's known as the 19th century and so on? 🤔

Lol...
ive seen it on tv my entire life and never once watched it. i’m 24
My mother, father & I ALWAYS watch that show, We (Yes even I) LOVE ❤️ IT hahaha
@@jerrybiv1441 I grew up watching MASH, it was based on the Korean war and Vietnam war..
To get them to work simply mix equal parts: hey nice car, a heaping spoon full of money and a puppy for a guaranteed positive result.
