I'm sure we all looked it up but yes, a camel did in fact bite someone's head off. It seems like it bit the head and then kicked the man at the same time, leading too, injuries incompatible with life. The guy abused the camel though so I don't blame it.
The name reindeer comes from the Old Norse word "hreindyri". Hreinn is an animal with horns, and dyr just means deer. They're also called caribou, which means "snow shoveler" in French.
@blockalism Caribou is a French Canadian word derived from the Mi'kmaq word qalipu. The same way "reindeer" is an English word derived from the Old Norse word hreindyri.
@@voldrik1364 Yes, I agree. But it doesn't mean “snow shoveler” in French. That would be something like _pelleneur à neige_ (but don't quote me on that, I don't actually speak French).
But here's a fun deer linguistics fact for you: in English, and only in English, the common name for every single cervid species can take an invariant plural, even though the names originated in several entirely unrelated language families: • one moose → two moose • one deer → two deer • one elk → two elk • one caribou → two caribou • one pudú → two pudú • one muntjac → two muntjac • one barasingha → two barasingha • one chital → two chital • one rusa → two rusa • one sambar → two sambar • one taruca → two taruca • one huemul → two huemul • one brocket → two brocket Many of the lesser-known ones can take either an invariant plural or -s (e.g. “two sambars”), but if you google “sambar are” you'll find plenty of meaningful results, unlike, say, “rat are”. There are other animals, mostly game animals, that can take the invariant plural (sheep, pheasant, beaver, etc) but as far as I'm aware Cervidae is the only family of animals that can _all_ take it.
@@blockalism true. But in the Mi'kmaq language, "qalipu" doesn't literally mean "to shovel snow" either. It's just the name for the animal. The actual word for "to shovel" would be qalipit or mulqut and snow would be psan. Also worth saying I'm not a native speaker, I'm just interested in etymology. And the cervid plural thing is interesting. It's one of those things that you know, you just never actually realize it until someone points it out. Looking into it, it seems like it's basically just coincidence that they all use the same word for the plural, since there are different reasons for it depending on the animal (some are taken from languages with complex pluralizations, some plurals were just lost as English changed, etc.).
Pretty amazing. Also, as a fellow midwesterner I can confirm that the existence of a catfish that could “possibly” consume a human is not out of the realm of possibility. I’ve seen catfish in the Ohio River that are 4+ feet long. I had an uncle that used to be a diver and marine welder. He worked on a couple of the bridges between Cincinnati and Kentucky. He said that he’s seen catfish around the bridge pylons “the size of a VW bus”.
I think someone has probably already said this, but don't male reindeer lose their antlers in winter and it's the females that have antlers in the winter? Maybe that's why they don't have big antlers, they're all male. I feel like that was like everyone's favorite fun fact for Christmas a while ago that if the reindeer on santa's sleigh have antlers then they're all female despite having some masculine names (i.e. rudolph, cupid).
Or maybe those are feminine names that have been changed by society to denote boys. Names like Ashley and Lindsay are modern examples of the opposite happening.
"I walked the greasy pole" truly a mythological feat to be completed by mankind. Definitely a statement of accomplishment I will be telling my parents at the dinner table this Christmas with no context. How astounding.
Male reindeer shed their antlers in the winter, so they aren't "trimmed" or anything unnatural. And I'm sure some individual riders might harm their horses, but riding horses doesn't at all equate to harming animals. It's social for them, and just like working dogs, they generally enjoy the stimulating training and work
True but I've also never seen a world level dressage routine that wasn't abusive. The more money that's involved, the more likely animal welfare goes out the window.
LMAO the Pumpkin Regatta happens right down the rode from me! People go nuts for it hahah like they get mean trying to get a spot to watch the pumpkin race
The guy in black that won the tag round is from a pretty sick British parkour group called Team Phat. His name is Orlando Deveaux and he's incredibly talented.
Somehow I expected "Extreme Simon Says" to be something violent like "Simon Says punch the person on your right. Simon says take your pants off. Simon Says eat this mystery food. "
Reindeer actually comes from an Old Norse word for “horned animal” They also naturally shed their antlers like other types of deer, it’s most likely those videos features reindeer with recently shed antlers.
Camel jumping is definitely hilarious and pretty cool as a concept, but I would put it at the bottom because there is definitely A LOT of animal abuse involved in this sport. It should go to the bottom along with the other sports in this video that involved animals. Although, I do think that given the right resources, these camel jumping athletes would excel at pole vault, high jump, hurdles, or other such jumping olympic sports. There is definitely potential & talent there that can be honed to benefit these athletes, without involving any animal cruelty.
Isn't the purpose of cheese rolling to catch the wheel of cheese not to roll down the fastest? I've never done it, but if the goal is to roll the fastest a lot of people are not doing that
The way jordan said “off?” killed me 😭
"extreme simon says" is just a game changer episode
That’s not true. Sam Says is way harder and includes psychological torment.
After "I walk the greasy pole", I was 100% expecting Jarvis to sing "The only pole that I have ever known"

English borrowed it from French, but “caribou” isn't French. It's from the Mi'kmaq word _qalipu,_ which does indeed mean “it shovels snow”.

Long pause of concentration before saying catfish again was very funny
15:42 "It's a _boat."_
NOOO AS SOMEONE WHO GREW UP IN THE CITY THAT HOSTS THE GREASY POLE I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE HERE WHAT A JUMPSCARE.
my mum and I flipped through tv channels and caught the world chase tag championships a couple of years ago and we were absolutely obsessed
Not me thinking the guy who could jump over 5 or 6 camels meant one on top of the other 💀
The camel jumping commentary was the hardest I've laughed in a while
As someone from the Midwest watching you guys discover noodling was one of the best experiences of my life

females do too, but in the spring

I'm loving the Anastasia pranking Jarvis and Jordan energy of this episode
the speed jumpscare is so good
You could feasibly make a Red Bull sponsored sports tier list with how many they really do
Cheese rolling? Every weird thing I thought Neopets invented turns out to just be some European thing.

Lol wait why does Camel jumping get a pass? I guarantee you these dudes regularly body those camels with the extended leg

LMAO the Pumpkin Regatta happens right down the rode from me! People go nuts for it hahah like they get mean trying to get a spot to watch the pumpkin race
They also dress up in insane costumes and yes they absolutely do fall over haha

1:44 LOL
that pumpkin regatta is in my town!!!
Somehow I expected "Extreme Simon Says" to be something violent like "Simon Says punch the person on your right. Simon says take your pants off. Simon Says eat this mystery food. "
8:32 idk why but this got me
"what did you call me" e.e
Guy behind the camera sounds like, the “Daily dose of internet” narrator
I would dodge.
... OFF?!?
What about the sport where you put ferrets in your trousers?
Reindeer actually comes from an Old Norse word for “horned animal”
They also naturally shed their antlers like other types of deer, it’s most likely those videos features reindeer with recently shed antlers.
"greasy pole is giving frat bro energy" no that's just the city of Boston
reindeer are also just called caribou
also their antlers shed naturally depending on the season

Speed needs to just travel the world and do the weirdest sports competitions
The catfish one is upsetting
Next time, you guys gotta look up boat jousting!! People take that spore suuuuper seriously as well!
Isn't the purpose of cheese rolling to catch the wheel of cheese not to roll down the fastest?
I've never done it, but if the goal is to roll the fastest a lot of people are not doing that
