These videos are really wonderful and very enjoyable. In any decently run universe, Brady and Keith would have a series of science fiction murder-mystery books written about them.
The British museum make their own youtube video's perhaps you could do a collaboration, they have 8 million items in their collection though so it might be hard to find :)
I keep forgetting to "like" your videos. Forgive me, they're so interesting I get on to the next one ASAP and forget to "like". I just want to say that Keith is amazing. He knows so much about all this stuff, and has such a listenable voice and manner about him, I could never get tired of just listening to him talk about stuff. Love it.
This so reminds me of my childhood days. I would scour the wastelands and construction sites in my rural neighbourhood and collect all sorts of curiosities and stash my collection in my wardrobe drawer. I have rare and curious looking rocks, parts which fell of machinery (large bolts, etc), but the best was part of a dog's skull with most of its teeth still intact. Ah... the wonder years.
Kind of a sad episode towards the end. How do Keith and his colleagues maintain records today? Are they all computerized? Does he already have records on magnetic tape from the 70s that can no longer be read? Do they maintain hard copies? He doesn't sound too judgmental about these lost objects and connections; is it just the natural way of things over such a long term?

The "monstrous calf" still exists, it is preserved in Beamish Museum in Barnard Castle in County Durham, where it's been exhibited for over a hundred years.
at 4:46 there are a lot of shoes. Is there anything special about them, such as owned by someone famous or some kind of early patent preservation, or is it a way of people getting rid of junk or giving it away to the poor through the royal society?
+Mr Schrödinger - I am the one who reviews. The difference is that the one on The Brain Scoop was two-faced, which is caused by a protein defect, while the one mentioned in the RS catalogue was tow-headed, and actually a pair of conjoined twins.
7:17 it wouldn't be a difficult thing for the museums to communicate in this day and age of technology to search their inventories for unidentified wax models, submit them to an age test (if possible, maybe) and narrow the pool, maybe even with documentation on the other "side of the fence". Now would it?
I think they explained in an earlier episode that wearing gloves increases the chance of accidentally ripping the pages. But there's an equal chance that I just made that up xP
I love these videos so much, but some of them (like this one) makes my chest ache. I really need to be born rich if I get another life so I can spend that money on equipment to digitise and catalogue all these things so everyone can see them. Just... that last bit about the loss of provenance... I can't even. I get that not everyone's a meticulous record keeper, and some things would have seemed common and beneath notice, but... *sigh* So much love for the learnings.
I know that in english you would follow latin rules for plural for latin words, especially for words ending by "us", but in this case wouldn't such rule make terella become terellae instead of terelli. Or is the Italian plural used in this case? I'm not from english mothertongue but I'm always curious about exceptions like these.
I wonder how intelligent and qualified Keith really is? Does he just memorise all the facts on this or have a deeper understanding? Don't take this as me doubting him, I am just curious.
why are you taking off your gloves when you touch paper? would it not be better to actually keep them on so your the fat on your skin doesn't get on the paper?
I really don't want to sound like a hater but, I just want to break the ice a little bit, while I am subscribed to my channel, I deferentially don't like it as much as everyone here seem to, and I never understood the thing with Keith, like, is this some kind of fetish? He's just a regular guy...
Brady, in the name of everything that is holy, do a Q&A with Keith!!
+Fiddling Beelzebot "Hi Reddit, I'm Keith from the Royal Society, AMA"
+ipullstuffapart
AMFA
+ipullstuffapart "Hi reddit, I'm just some guy named Keith. AMA!
+Keith Reece Hi Keith, do you find sharing a name with someone as classy as Keith sets the bar of behavior very high to try and follow?
Keith Reece I like you some guy named Keith
Keith is just so brilliant and captivating. I'd love to know more about him. A bio about his life, career, interests, etc would be exciting.
I absolutely adore this channel; if I could only be subbed to ten channels at a time; this would always be one of them.
+Elliot Grey thanks Elliot
Brady and Keith on a mission ^_^
+Francois Lacombe Now that would be a cool series to watch as they try and track down that wax casting.
+Satchboy71 For sure!
+Francois Lacombe *queues Indiana Jones music* :D
"Keith and I, the supermen!"
+Skyliner04s Hm - Brady with a fedora lost in the archives of the Royal Society...

Keith: It fascinating how they are trying to categorize the world
Brady: BUT WHAT WOULD IT SMELL LIKE DUDE
lolol
3:23 "the face of a monstrous child...." LOL
I like the idea of the two of you going out on some sort of adventure.

These are called terella, also known as watch killers. Wearing a watch while handling big/strong magnets is usually not a great idea.
Man! It's been so long, but I still can't get over Keith's voice :)
This is becoming my favourite channel. I strongly agree, do a Q&A with Keith!
It's probably a few crates to the left of the Ark of the Covenant.
Love this Channel! Please keep making more vids!!!
I love this channel so very, very much. Can't wait for the next video!
So much learning, Brady sitting there dumbfounded ;)
Why do I love Keith so much
I wish this channel has more subs.
+Jack Poon the best thing you can do to help and tell people about us! :)
+Objectivity Plug it more on your other channels! I had no idea this channel existed until the video on numberphile (I adore this channel, by the way)

I think they have a digital system as well as a card catalogue.

My OCD kicked into high gear at 7:00. the green and beige books need to be put back the right way NOW!
Can you go over how Keith became the librarian?
i could listen to Keith's voice for hours...
Also, yay, views are going up! :D
It's such a cool story/ mystery
Could this be the mystical car wash haircut?
'A piece of iron ore, very good, though not looking like ore'. Makes me want to know what it was.
The "monstrous calf" still exists, it is preserved in Beamish Museum in Barnard Castle in County Durham, where it's been exhibited for over a hundred years.
Keep it up Brady! Great videos, I hope that I can visit England once I'm out of school.. or maybe for graduate school perhaps?
at 4:46 there are a lot of shoes. Is there anything special about them, such as owned by someone famous or some kind of early patent preservation, or is it a way of people getting rid of junk or giving it away to the poor through the royal society?
A small museum in Elgin Illinois had a two headed calf also.
Have you ever talked to Keith about what he sees as his legacy? How does he see past Head Librarians? That sort of thing.
I would be shocked if you told me Keith didn't do a vampires bidding on his off time.
Keith wears the neatest ties.
Keith is Goals.
A two-headed calf? Oh, like the one they studied in The Brain Scoop! That was a very interesting lesson in anatomy.
+Mr Schrödinger - I am the one who reviews. The difference is that the one on The Brain Scoop was two-faced, which is caused by a protein defect, while the one mentioned in the RS catalogue was tow-headed, and actually a pair of conjoined twins.
You should film some episodes at the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia.

just spent close to a hour going through your videos - LOVE it
just subscribed to you - i'm #78,174
Tom (F4collector)
Uh oh did you touch the book without gloves? Objectivity always has me on edge thinking "Should he be touching that thing without gloves?!"
I think they explained in an earlier episode that wearing gloves increases the chance of accidentally ripping the pages. But there's an equal chance that I just made that up xP
LOL, 2:34 1661: - Use of apostrophe for a plural! The rot set in early.
Love the Keith'stie
Wow, different times for sure.
really interesting!
Please make a video about something Brazil related in the Royal Society!
You should come to Kunstkamera in Saint-Petersburg, Russia!
I love these videos so much, but some of them (like this one) makes my chest ache.

very good
guess I got here just in time from the video in the royal archives on numberphile!
Nice Death Star you have there.
If this channel is a magnetic ball, im a piece of iron
Brady summons Magnemite
0:23 No, that's a Death Star.
5:21 "A stone voyded by ye urethra of a man after ye life" ... yeeewooouch! wtf
Brady and the Keith: On the quest for the wax face
lodestone or magnetite is a kind of iron ore which is ferromagnetic unlike hematite another ore of iron
I know that in english you would follow latin rules for plural for latin words, especially for words ending by "us", but in this case wouldn't such rule make terella become terellae instead of terelli. Or is the Italian plural used in this case?
I'm not from english mothertongue but I'm always curious about exceptions like these.
I love u Brady
Did your watch survive the proximity to the terrella?
+Fiddlin' Grim Surely Bradley carries a degaussing coil in his satchel.
one would hope
"Loaned by the Royal Society"? There seems to be a story behind that plate...
I wonder how intelligent and qualified Keith really is? Does he just memorise all the facts on this or have a deeper understanding? Don't take this as me doubting him, I am just curious.
_44. Part of a machine with one toothed wheel._
I wonder what that was.
Do you think the wax mask would contain traces of DNA? What about some of the other artifacts?
Wondering about Brady's age for some reason! ^^
So, the Royal Society is like the SCP Foundation...
Was the face ever found? The world must know.
Ah, that sweet feeling when I get a fix of 'Objectivity' #^_^#
That's no Terella, it's a space station
"An ancient shoe found in a bog."
+Pogmog don't think that one is still in the stores!
+Pogmog I also like how No 55 simply says "A pair of shoes" with no description at all
They were...curie..ous about magnetism.
Just had to sit through a 1:37 unskipkable ad about transformers. Has there ever been a better reason to install Adblock?
Kieth looks like an angry Lion
This librarian Kieth is Kieth Richards from parallel universe
"Murray" lads, not "Mo-ray"
there are alot of sphere magnets
If they found the wax face and exhumed his body they could tell if it was his face without difficulty.
What in this world is written on all those identical books on the walls?
+ollythebest94 They're volumes of the same book, like an encyclopedia.
Put those gloves on!
Keith's voice is always so overly bass heavy in these videos, it sounds really EQd, any chance you could tone him down a bit?
feels like Indiana Jones
shouldn´t the plural be terellae? never underdtood things like that
+Ad Addv That's what they said
+George Bryant 0:12 don´t they say Terelli?
+Ad Addv people pronounce things differently..news at 11
Ad Addv
I thought about this, and I realised there are some "-ae" latin words I'd pronounce ending in "ai" and some "ee". Interesting.
Terellae = ter-el-EYE, Terelli = ter-el-EE
why are you taking off your gloves when you touch paper? would it not be better to actually keep them on so your the fat on your skin doesn't get on the paper?
+Aanthanur DC The gloves have a higher risk of ripping the fragile papers as they are handled.

mmh really?
