It's all the better for having a guitar in it, but it would be better still if someone hadn't been fiddling with the volume knob throughout!

You can always write some patch code, eg If > 28th Feb in leap year and < 1 Jul in leap year then...else... etc, then download that everywhere. That will fix the Australian problem as well! :)

It's been suggested that the extra day should be 31st June - which would be in the summer, and of course a longer day than 29th Feb. Which sounds good but is of course flawed. It's a bit like saying that it gets late much earlier when the clocks change.

Oh all different sizes; from button batteries up to 9v PP9s. Then there would be the right one for almost any present they bought. :)

It was very well done. I once bought someone a box of batteries for Christmas, with a note inside saying, "Present not included".

Now then - what about people who pronounce it "medcin" when it's spelt "medicin"?!

Well I didn't say that "Math" was "wrong" but that in the UK "Maths" was "the preferred".

OK I accept that "mathematics" is not a plural noun. But another argument for using "maths" that the video did not touch on was "liaison". The word "maths" is usually followed by other words in a sentence. In French, "liaison" refers to the phonetic phenomenon where a normally silent final...

Why "gotten!? What's wrong with "been"? I love the idea that Rowan Atkinson is blamed for poor sales - with all his money he was expected to buy hundreds of electric cars - but he didn't. Not one! Quite disgraceful! :)

People should feel sorry for robots - they're discriminated against on an almost daily basis. They can't buy anything online so they have to go to the shops for everything. It must be awful being a robot.

It's a bit arbitrary - there are only no negative prime numbers because we say there aren't. But in principle -43 is no more or less "prime" than +43. The 5 constants in Maths (and yes there's an S in the word Maths because it's an abbreviation of Mathematics, which is plural! :)) - 0, 1, e...

That's probably the nerdiest thing I've ever seen!

It's certainly pleasant - and oddly familiar; I keep expecting some vocals to come in, which I can hear in my head but are too distant to identify. I wonder if it was later plagiarised? That said, there are only so many 4-chord sequences. But yes, I like it.

Damn! I should have thought of the "bonuses" addendum! You are spot on.
