Look Around You

Every so often I come across something worth watching on YouTube. That something is called "Look Around You." It's a BBC comedy clip (of about 10 minutes each) that parodies science shows from the 70's and 80's. The beginning is similar to something you'd remember from 3-2-1 Contact. The narrator is reminiscent of (Sir) David Attenborough. The show tackles such scientific topics as water, the brain, germs, and ghosts.

Here's a clip about sulfur (or sulphur, as it is spelled in the UK). The best part of this episode is how they go about disproving sulfur's magnetism. Time is well wasted with this one.
