Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin. Its name derives from Tetraodontiformes, an order that includes pufferfish, porcupinefish, ocean sunfish, and triggerfish; several of these species carry the toxin. Tetraodontiforms have highly modified skeletons, with no nasal, parietal, infraorbital, or (usually) lower rib bones. The bones of the jaw are modified and fused into a sort of "beak"; visible sutures divide the beaks into "teeth". This is alluded to in their name, derived from the Greek words tetra meaning "four" and odous meaning "tooth" and the Latin forma meaning "shape".
That's literally the best thing the German green party has ever done! Also, regarding Gary's counter-suggestion, banning the apostrophe in Germany would indeed go unnoticed, because it is never practically never used. :D
You can eat raw nettles, no problem, just need a special way to do it, dead serious, message me and I'll send you a video of me doing it. You have to deactivate the stingers, but it can be done. -an Ethnobotanist.

Ah yes, my favorite Shakespeare quotes: "But soft, what light through yonder Matthew breaks?" "Can I compare thee to a summer's day? No." And "Hej hej UA-cam!"
Great show, it is really cool that there are subs on every video now. Since English is not my mother language, although I understand it, I can't always hear it right as three persons with accents talk simultaneously. I really laughed hard and because I'm grateful, I made subs in Serbian. It was my first time to do it, but UA-cam made it fairly easy to modify existing ones (except figuring out all those Yorkshire customs). Hope someone have some use of it. P.S. If there is time, I could translate all those videos from first season onwards.
+Tom Scott It sounds a lot more like the Finnish "hei hei" than Swedish "hej hej" and you know it. They don't generally even say it doupled like that. :D
I just checked so I remembered correctly, and nettles are "rich in vitamins A and C, iron, potassium, manganese, and calcium." They are traditionally used in some areas in cookery.
I was really proud of myself for knowing about fugu before this episode! It's almost the same feeling of accomplishment you get when you know the answer to a question on University Challenge, but not quite. :)
Yes you do. We can tell by the fact that your sentences are not properly capitalized, nor punctuated. Therefore, you are typing with great difficulty caused by the Fugu fish, ergo, Witch. Burn the Witch!!!
I'm a bit confused about this part, because nettles actually are fairly edible, you just need to crush them. I ate nettle salad before, it's supposed to be really healthy! can't remember how it tasted, though..
5:00 Re. developing tolerance to the toxin: Slightly miffed that nobody mentioned the Dread Pirate Roberts and his battle of wits with Vizzini in Princess Bride. Oh well. 😎
I work in German immigration, and I can confirm special visas exist for specialist chefs. Granted I have never processed one in the year and a half I've worked here, mostly cause they're so rare, though I think I spotted an inquiry about one in our inquiries inbox once, but someone else dealt with it, and it wasn't fugu-related.

I know a guy who also used to eat nettles (I think it was mostly for attention) and even developed a technique of picking and eating nettle leaves without being stung
As a German, I legit didn't know that until this episode, but it makes sense for the Green Party of the time. For reference: Joschka Fischer caused great offense by wearing sneakers to his inauguration as a minister of this coalition.
I hope the bonus material to convert those UA-cam vids into mp3s and add them to the old ones is actually true. More than a couple of times I was stuck with a shity Internet and needed something to maje me lough.
Funny story about the fish in tanks; a year ago I was interviewing for a video design job and part of the process was a creativity test. The goal; in the course of an hour, write a story using 4 concepts. The four concepts are then to be re-used in an additional 10 stories in the time of 15 minutes each. The concepts? a stopwatch, a teeter-totter, a guy with a spear, and.. "a fish tank". Needless to say, I used a few different variations of combat vehicles involved with piscine creatures. (Got the job)
My dear Lord, I was guessing you chaps are borderline "almost-diplomatic-incident-incurring", and now I have been proven right. I can't wait for that experiment to go off, because my jaw has been in a painful lockdown from the midpoint of this video up to now due to constant laughter. Good job Tom and the company, keep it up! :D
I haven't tried it myself, but I heard nettles are supposed to make a good salade with a slight minty taste. However one has to blanch them for a couple of minutes in hot water first.
I think nettle doesn't sting after a day of getting plucked out of the ground and I've heard it's quite healthy for you. Never tried eating raw nettle so I can't say, tho I did have nettle in a kettle.
I'd make fun of the nettle kid, but I liked licking the circuit board that was just a watch battery and an LED that I took out of a cheap carnival toy when was young.

Xovius it would be hard to live stream with so many camera angles an little to no script
Oh no, the cutting room floor completely disappears right then
I take for granted that these are all captioned
*subtitled
Was I the only one that thought the john nettles Story was a set up for a pun about John Nettles (John Nettles is an actor in crime dramas in the uk)
Wow. I think this is the shortest time between a video going live and me watching it.
As a German, I legit didn't know that until this episode, but it makes sense for the Green Party of the time. For reference: Joschka Fischer caused great offense by wearing sneakers to his inauguration as a minister of this coalition.
I hope the bonus material to convert those UA-cam vids into mp3s and add them to the old ones is actually true. More than a couple of times I was stuck with a shity Internet and needed something to maje me lough.
To be fair if u fold nettle leaves into a small package and crush it with your teeth the spines are crushed and it tastes quite nice
Funny story about the fish in tanks; a year ago I was interviewing for a video design job and part of the process was a creativity test. The goal; in the course of an hour, write a story using 4 concepts. The four concepts are then to be re-used in an additional 10 stories in the time of 15 minutes each. The concepts? a stopwatch, a teeter-totter, a guy with a spear, and.. "a fish tank". Needless to say, I used a few different variations of combat vehicles involved with piscine creatures.
(Got the job)
thanks there ia now a trail of saliva hanging from my mouth, becuase I was thinking of bread and drippin
Are we quite sure Gary isn't just getting confused about what exactly John Nettles does...?
My dear Lord, I was guessing you chaps are borderline "almost-diplomatic-incident-incurring", and now I have been proven right. I can't wait for that experiment to go off, because my jaw has been in a painful lockdown from the midpoint of this video up to now due to constant laughter. Good job Tom and the company, keep it up! :D
Did anyone else spot the lego minifigure?
+Joel “JRG” G Chris is going to be happy that someone pointed that out!
+Joel “JRG” G I missed it the first time. Thank you for pointing it out.
Thomas Burnip I only noticed the one behind chris. Is the other one by the toaster?
+Joel “JRG” G Believe so, yes :) Didn't notice that one, but did notice the one on the speaker behind Chris
the one on the speaker and the one beside the toaster
I love how genuine this is. It feels like hanging out with mates, except I'm mute haha
7:10. Here you have it. Chris Joel has been stuck in a tank since 1958.
"Toast: for if you want your bread to be harder."
How can I get my bread to be harder if Toast never happened?
I haven't tried it myself, but I heard nettles are supposed to make a good salade with a slight minty taste. However one has to blanch them for a couple of minutes in hot water first.
I've been mainlining the shows over the just few weeks. Please tell me you're still going.
There is a lego man behind Cris that wasn't there in the other episodes.
Came back to this video so I refresh on the facts so I can share this funny story with my friends
I love the awkward pause when he mentions the guy who eats nettles. priceless.
I think nettle doesn't sting after a day of getting plucked out of the ground and I've heard it's quite healthy for you. Never tried eating raw nettle so I can't say, tho I did have nettle in a kettle.
I didn't know what the yorkshire term for it was, but over here in france, they call it "saindoux", and it's delicious!!!
I'd make fun of the nettle kid, but I liked licking the circuit board that was just a watch battery and an LED that I took out of a cheap carnival toy when was young.
