Two things I gathered from this;
1, Gold is probably made of magic.
2, Robb Stark didn't die, he just hid in Alaska.

Unless you mean Ned. But I don't think you did. Damn you.
Thelegoterrapin I guess we know who hasn't paid the iron price for Season 3 yet. Most people don't even realize that's a spoiler anymore.
Seasons? Son, I am reading the bloody books like a literate man, and bloody hell those things are long.
And by no means does one activity substitute the other, or is one categorically superior. At least I'm not trolling you with fake spoilers.
Gamerlord97 *Gasp* I need a plane ticket to Alaska right now... *queue up footage of Beatle's landing in USA* -- Trace
And this is what I stay up all night watching instead of sleeping. I'm gonna learn at night then sleep all day and miss school!! I still learn either way :)
You won't learn anything useful in school. Work on your FICO score. Live at home as long as possible. Save money. Also don't trust women.
Bro got that top g move
If only gold was this useful in Minecraft.
Fluffeh Muffin Never heard of God gapples :O
Fluffeh Muffin You mean "gold apples"?
Glistering melons for Healing Potions, Golden Carrots, for invisibility and night vision potions, and for breeding horses, Golden Apples for regeneration, breeding horses, and CURING Zombie villagers. Also, there is powered rail.
***** You can do that in the launcher properties.
***** Nice name
Au man, Gold is Ausome!
I see what you did there
i want to like your comment but the number is perfect lol
warcreator745 I want to like your response, but my number isn't perfect anymore lol
FlyingJetpack1 Check your periodic table.
I thumbs downed this comment in the hopes that it'll return to 79 thumbs up.
It sucks that Discovery, History, and Nat'l Geographic channels are just reality tv now.
Some shows are good, but I liked the documentaries and other shows.
It sucks that reality shows are what's selling time these days... Its downright sad and depressing but they've gotta make their bucks to stay afloat I guess :(
***** 90% of Americans.
***** Lucky, everyone here watches Duck Dynasty. I really don't understand it.
Klondike is the only ever scripted show on Discovery (i think bear grylse show was scripted) but thats it.
In ayurveda we use gold and produce ash( swarna bhasma ) and use to treat a lot of disease. An ayurvedic doctor also succeeds in treating patients in coma who responds very well after the usage of gold ash(swarna bhasma)
If patients have allergic reactions to titanium, prosthetic joints are usually coated with gold. That is amazing!
Gold is now on my list of favorite precious metals.
Aww.. I thought you were going to put up the $1000 Best Buy HDMI cable.. it has some smashingly great reviews.
www.bestbuy.com/site/coffee-39-4-hdmi-cable/1267764.p?id=1218245464814&skuId=1267764&st=HDMI&cp=1&lp=1#tab=overview
TinyTone With a price tag like that I'm astonished that it doesn't come with a lifetime warranty...
TinyTone what is this and why is it so expensive? do ppl actually buy this.?
its $2,200,99 now
TinyTone Wow, this cable is what I've been looking for all my life! I cannot continue living without owning it. I must go to Best Buy to convince them I am worthy, and beg them to sell me one.
Oh, I don't own anything that sends HD signal to my TV, but I don't care.
who says money can't buy happiness
gold's a freakin cure all
Gold is also money again, see more @ goldbricksshow.com
I stayed at the Mandalay for MineCon 2011, and I can guarantee that it looks just as amazing up close as it does from that picture. It also helps that their outdoor lights are pyres instead of electric lights.
So WHY? are we just storing it in banks to acquire artificial "wealth"
Let's use it for some amazing space adventures!

Too bad gold is wasted as a source of ego inflation for so many women -.-
Men wear gold too. Golden watches, wedding bands and even gold chains around the necks, just look at the Italians that drive their boats through the Adriatic Sea on the weekends.
Why mention just women..Men wear it too, some parents even buy kids Gold.
Victoria P Sorry, let me rephrase. Too bad gold is wasted as a source of ego inflation for many people.
I have never seen a man wear gold.
That was a lot more than 5 uses.
More bang for your buck! Why are you complaining?
Woah woah woah woah, You can't just go from fighting to be the King of the North to starring in the Klondike series.
Yah but 99% of the gold stays in the bank volts and jewellery - such a waste of human time and effort, digging out a rare metal so that they can store them in volts.
Indian rich people were putting gold coins or rings in the pot while cooking rice to get medicinal properties of gold into the body. The cheapest way to consume gold was it. The science behind using gold ornaments is the same in India.
It's better to have something as eternally useful as gold in vaults where it can be reserved for unexplored innovation. It ain't cheap extracting gold from scrap electronics.
"vaults", not "volts".
Volts are electrical units.
Wraithguard92 Yes but those wires carrying the volts are gold plated :-)
wrong only a fraction of the gold/diamonds mined are suitable for jewelry uses and banks, the rest of for computers, and the things in the video.
These videos are a great stress remover for some reason.
ElliottAero because LEARNING IS FUN!!!!*shoots myself in head*
Thank you and keep up the good work.
Also, isn't it really good at reflecting infra-red, making it ideal for a reflector mirror in reflector telescopes, especially high powered ones designed for deep space?
Klondike is an AMAZINGLY GOOD SHOW!
i always wondered from a midieval weaponry standpoint of using weapons hollowed then filled with gold for weight balance or even filling the head of a hammer making a really really powerful swing would be an actual use
Robb Stark in Klondike? I am sold.
do the medical uses for gold have the same sort of effect as colliodal silver?
I'm a hobbyist gold miner in new zealand and after watching it made me more excited about finding more gold
Super interesting.
Great Anchorman quote at the end there Trace
You can use it for looking at. Also you can use it for reflecting light. And you can use it for playing heads or tails if it's a coin.
wow thanks this was really interesting
Trace let's do Goldschlager shots! ;)
I don't know if this is related to anything but ten thousand years ago, in the Greek mythology, the Olympian gods was said they had body armor and god like weapons that look they were made of Gold. Also Gold in those ancient times wasn't used for currency, it was the copper, it is unknown what was the real use of Gold in the ancient times but it was really valuable by Gods or similar to that.
Also the Aztecs and Mayans depicted their Gods using Gold like body suits or body armor, and most of their vehicles were depicted using Gold. The Aztecs valued so much the Gold they protected but not for wealth nor currency, it is unknown since most of that information was destroyed or stolen by the Spaniards Catholics.
Gold was used for money in ancient times, but greedy governments started mixing in different metals to stretch the gold and used copper clad with gold to make coins that had less gold in them much like our silver coinage today. The Greeks were some of the first to water down their gold coins. Gold was used for trade for thousands of years.
strange but true !!!!! especially the hdmi one... always buy cheapest, if under 5ft.
gold condoms..... Au yea!
Gold can be used in paint for special effect.
It can also be used in photography for the sepia effect.
wow didn't know gold can do so much
wonder what else is next
MORE VIDS GUYS!
have they tried to include Gold into Supercondive materials? just to see what happens? who knows, maby it might reduce the amount of cooling you need to make a material superconducting and may help the large hadron collider and it's superconducting long cables and maintenence costs?
I did not know that you can found gold in space that is so cool!!!!!
I was thinking what is Rob Stark doing here but then I realized that he died. Lol
"Unless my TV was in space" - I lold irl :D.(and by the way lol can mean laughing out low, not laughing out loud).
So if I gold-plate a strap-on, can I tell my wife she'll be fighting prostate cancer every night?
This channel is worth gold!
where can i buy gold for my tea?
i had drink a japanese rice wine aka Sa-ke with gold in it! it doesnt have any taste, but it's cool though :D i feel rich inside my body already!
so it ballances the force' resestance to oxiditation everything, but is also a perfect conducter used in tea humm"
I am in aerospace sales...gold and silver are very much used in industry.
I basically sell rf/microwave/millimeter wave components... gold and silver are always used in high tech applications..
i always wondered what becomes of the gold in my goldschlager. do i absorb any gold or does it all end up in the sewer?
Gold is also used on windscreens or glass in front of pilots in the plane and a current is passes through it to prevent ice formation
i have a Razer Deathadder gaming mouse and it's USB connection is gold-plated.
i think it actually doesn't make any difference in how fast the connection is but it clarely adds an enormous "swag" (or @ least that's what the manual says >:0 ) when talking about how it looks.
We need a away to make gold for industrial purposes (i.e. its not currency) like we have already done with dimonds
you could use gold to make the most kick-ass sunglasses ever
since you asked, I think that we should use gold as our currency standard again instead of bonds with interest.
if you watch Solaris..they have gold space suits. A pretty cool concept
Interesting!
I'm caught up!
...Was that a reference at the end?
wow... gold is amazing!
All I want to know is how to use gold to make a Warp Drive.
Thanks for letting me down again DNews! ;)
Well it's not gold that you need it's the official pinewood derby kit the particular car that's needed is the Mercedes-Benz SLR like the one that was raced by Stirling Moss in the 1950s also it's critically important for this to work. It has to be painted red.
I can use gold to make a hammer like Thor!
!SWEET! a golden bell so the butler can fetch my tea, bitches. What!
wow. i knew gold was useful, but damn. more useful than i would of thought. sweet tea with gold flakes..... uh not sure, i love tea, but wow
Awesome
I'm going to stock up on gold.
Ooooh, those joints >.>
"...I buy the cheap ones [HDMI cables] for $2, NO DIFFERENCE!" LOL that's so true.
I can't be the only one who noticed Rob Stark in Klondike :)
I'm going to inject myself with radioactive gold to become Goldman
I think orbitally rearranged monoatomic gold would have been an awesome inclusion in this video.
Don't forget Rutherfords famous experiment with gold that gave details about the atom
make a video of 5 surprising uses of platinum
Amazing gold diggger's. Always thought how it would happen, if Florida had gold instead... Lol
Gold also makes you happy
Injects gold...bling for life
gold on connectors (like these overpriced HDMI ones) prevents corrosion. And it's only interesting if you use it in locations with high humidity or plug and unplug the connector regularely (so it comes in contact with the outside world more). In the living room, where you plug your Blu Ray player or whatever in once and leave it that way, you don't need Gold plated connectors.
so more used for gold
i think its a golden time for gold :D
Wow I never knew that
Egyptian knew this along time ago. they called it montonic gold or something like that
Gold is also a fashionable accessory to rappers and their "grills"
They also use gold in space for heat control.
Gotta love gold
He totally missed the most important thing that gold has been used for since the beginning of time.
To make grills for rappers.
We can eat gold!?..gold just became more valuable than diamond.

I have a gold necklace dating back to one of the Czars.
The gold windows on Mandalay Bay have cut down on cooling expenses, but are not prone to mass shooters.

I love Goooold!
I always knew the ruling class was on to something
What... what the what!? Gold can do all this!?
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
Well that's interesting.
Gold is liquid. Gold is money. Gold is a hedge to protect against inflation.
Now i got it.... once my frm told me to go to Indonesia to put the gold needle on the back so the pain go away.....? they say it's true.....

Good vid. As good as gold. :)
Dnews is always better with Trace and Anthony
It's a shame a lot of it is just sitting in some random vault in England, collecting dust and doing nothing useful.
And in Fort Knox.
Hmm, want to protect your gold? Just put it in a vat of a acid so strong, it will dissolve human flesh.
