• From the feelings of a virus to where cooking originally came from, we answer some
of your most burning questions about life • Hey there, my name is Melissa, I'll be
reading out the questions and answers • I'm Danger Dolan and I'm here to blow
your mind with truth 10 – Dacia Wall what lived before the dinosaurs?
• Giant boulders lived all over the world, but eventually the dinosaurs came along and
used them as soccer balls and kicked them out of the atmosphere, but one day a lone
rock came back from space and wiped them out once and for all – revenge…
• Well if you’re talking about the animals that came right before dinosaurs then reptiles
were it, before that it was the creatures that only just evolved to leave water and
the very first life forms were single cell organisms called amoeba.
9 – Anthony Galarza Glass What was the first anime?
• The Lion King is commonly known as the first anime, but in reality it was Finding
Nemo, a tragic tale of a bird that was allergic to humans so she stayed at the aviary until
she got a job reading out questions and answers. • The very first Japanese animation was
made early in the nineteen-hundreds and is called Katsudo Shashin, but it only ran for
three seconds, Astro Boy was what started the whole craze and came out in 1963.
• Astro Boy is my favourite! I love when he does the Kamehameha on Pikachu, it’s
so cool. • I’ll give you two million dollars if
you can show me that scene. • *
• This is a still picture of a pickle jar. • Yeah I know… it’s great
8 – Cupcake Productions How Did Valentine’s Day become a holiday
• The evil cooties corporation called Gross Stuff Incorporated designed it in order to
make everyone spread the deadliest disease on Earth, luckily I’ve avoided the temptation
by staying completely alone, I win GSI, I… win
• Originally it was a Roman feast that was turned into a Catholic tradition, but it wasn’t
really about love and gift giving until the 1850s when Esther Howland started making a
bunch of cards for the holiday. 7 – Domi Nation why does your hair turn
grey when you turn old? • See this one’s obvious if you think
about it, old people have a strange fashion sense so the most logical answer is that it’s
caused by pulling your pants up to your nipples. • Everyone’s hair is actually white, but
as you age the cells that produce colour for your hair slowly stops functioning, as for
why all the hair cells don’t look white, it’s because not all of the cells die out
and a mixture of white and black hair looks grey.
• ER MA GERD MELISSA • W-what?
• I found a – white hair! 6 – Audrey Lefeld Where does ink come from?
• Ink, otherwise known as squid juice, is extracted from squids that are mysteriously
found in bedrooms all throughout Japan for some reason – what have you been up to?
• The first ink ever made was crafted from burnt meat and vegetables, nowadays we use
coal or oil to make black ink, otherwise organic matter is used to get the exact right colour
and shade. 5 – Luke Hamann Are we living inside virtual
reality but we don't know it? • Of course we are, that’s why we don’t
have to do boring things like flying through the air and invincibility god powers and instead
get to spend all our time doing fun stuff like waiting in line and scratching your left
nostril and watching internet videos… it’s great
• The only real way to know this is if we manage to make our own simulation of the universe,
which proves that it’s both possible and very likely, but if we want to be really sure
it’s possible we need to make a simulation inside another simulation.
• Dolan, VR goggles aren’t the same thing as simulating an entire universe
• NA! Now I will reveal the real universe, just let me travel there through the magic
of Hol-ocu-vive! * 4 – infect blood dragon does a virus have
feelings or can it think? • How could even ask that question while
my body is housing a virus, don’t you have any compassion or are you just a complete
monster that for some reason would ask someone to immunise themselves against the flu, don’t
you know that causes the awful disease AIDS? • Nope, in fact viruses aren’t even considered
alive by most scientists as they can’t reproduce without the aid of an alive being, but this
is being questioned as we’ve recently discovered super viruses that are hundreds of times bigger
and much more complex. 3 – The Gaming Demoness Why do humans feel
the need to be a part of a group? • Because humans love to show off and it’s
basically impossible to show off to yourself, unless… that’s it, I’m going to abandon
all my friends for ever and take sexy selfies in the mirror… mmm.. yeah.
• We evolved to be social because a group of people can survive in the wild way better
than a single person, also if we weren’t social we never would have developed civilisation
since it’s basically impossible to have one without sharing responsibilities.
• You know being funny and being sexy are two very different things right?
• Yeah right, that’s not what my Mum says! 2 – Logan *** How did we come up with cooking
and combining food? • Well in the beginning there was only fruit,
then there was fruit salad and finally, with a dash of genius the all-mighty Lord Sandwich
accidentally dropped his food into the fire and created delicious ham and cheese soup.
• It was just luck to begin with, since digesting cooking food takes way fewer calories
than eating it raw it allows our bodies to get more *** for our buck and this allowed
us to develop giant, hungry and smart brains. 1 – kirillauzums How large is the world
in centimeters?
• It’s like a super big number, like if you took four entire rulers that wouldn’t
be enough, but I never tried anything above that so my guess is six rulers, which is around
seven gazillion centimetres. • The surface of the world is 51 trillion
centimetres squared big, or a gigantic 100 septillion centimetres cubed, which is a one
with 26 zeroes after it, these giant numbers are why we have units of measurement that
increase in size.
