    Galileo wasn't arrested for his heliocentric model. He was arrested for calling the Pope an idiot in not so many words.

    For the record I literally got a giant smile on my face when i saw grace.

    Wasn't it Socrates who got arrested and later sentenced to death for asking why a lot?

    • @thymeandspace110
      @thymeandspace110 10 років тому +3

      Yes, but because he asked why all the time, he was "corrupting the youth" with new ideas.

    • @dago201
      @dago201 10 років тому +3

      He was actually using something we now call the socratic method. He didn't just as why. What he did was ask questions to get people to think in a certain way. Generally speaking he was getting them to think differently about the government or something

    • @CAMacKenzie

      +dago201 He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous!

    • @IoEstasCedonta
      @IoEstasCedonta 9 років тому

      +dago201 Sort of. In the early dialogues, the ones that are most likely to be taken from reality, the point is just confusion. Essentially, it's a more sophisticated form of asking "why?" only that when children ask "why?" it's to get to the limits of adult knowledge, whereas his questions were geared toward finding inconsistencies in another's "knowledge." The later dialogues are more didactic, but these are most likely just framing devices for Plato's own philosophy - especially once you get to Republic and beyond (Critias, Timaeus), there's no doubt whatsoever that "Socrates" is Plato wearing his old professor's skin. (Never heard it called "Socrates' Allegory of the Cave.")

    Just shy of 420 feet, for those who haven't found their way to google yet.

    • @tooobian

      420, that's pretty "high"

    Martin Sheen really doesn't deserve that shade. He has been a bona fide activist for decades.

    i just recently got all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed about 24 hours ago and your voice was so soothing to listen too :) thank you so much!
    PS you look amazing too!

    @cheonsaaa_cat 10 років тому +7

    I don't think she sounds annoying (no, seriously, she sounds perfectly fine to me, what are you talking about?) but I'd prefer John. Bye Grace.

    • @nicolasdelpuerto1729
      @nicolasdelpuerto1729 10 років тому

      I agree

    • @Zinquinification
      @Zinquinification 10 років тому +1

      Her voice isn't necessarily annoying, but why the constant SHOUTING in between? She would do the videos quite well without that

    • @cr33d4
      @cr33d4 10 років тому +1

      I disagree. She is easy on the eyes, that voice however, is strictly ear piercing.

  • @krazyking424
    @krazyking424 11 років тому

    that line "you convert" near the end really got me. I'm not the biggest Grace fan, but she really does have a good humour.

    My favorite story is when Bob Dylan was arrested (detained, really) fairly recently in New Jersey. Neighborhood residents reported a "scruffy old man behaving strangely" on the beach. The young officer assigned to check out the situation not recognize the singer, who was in town for a concert and was just taking a walk to unwind a little. He put up with the situation very well.

  • @frostedjosieos3193

    Grace, your shirt looks a little old/small. Are you required to wear a polo shirt to host Mental Floss?

  • @kharris424

    Fun fact: I know the people who moved into Matthew McConaughey's house (actually his smaller party house that was next to his house, which was plenty big enough to live in). They said when they moved in, the bongo drums, some documents, and some spf 5 sunscreen were left in the house.

    if women are doing announcing or online speaking, they need to choose women who have naturally lower toned voices. High pitched grating voices annoy more people than not. This woman is just right on the edge of being grating, but still tolerable. Women with low voices sound nicer, are more authoritative in peoples opinion, and easy to listen to. Regardless of looks-looks should not play a part at all. Id like to see more realistic body portrayal and looks, across the board. Voices, though, need to be less bothersome and pleasant.

  • @shannonmackey3153
    @shannonmackey3153 10 років тому +1

    John should never let anyone else sub for him. He's hilarious and very engaging to watch. Every episode I've seen without him is annoying.

  • @MathTchr101
    @MathTchr101 11 років тому

    To those of you asking where John is, he's recently had a baby (and was on leave, but he had pre-recorded episodes for that) and is currently working on set of a feature film based on his book, The Fault in Our Stars. Hope that helps!

  • @TheEmpress101
    @TheEmpress101 11 років тому

    For those who don't know who this wonderful lady is, this is Grace Helbig, also known on UA-cam as DailyGrace. She's a wonderful vlogger who also did a vlogbrothers video while John was on paternity leave this year. :)

  • @kimstheworst
    @kimstheworst 11 років тому

    That's because the Mental Floss set is in Indianapolis and Grace is located in LA. So the background is greenscreened in.

  • @FranticCashew
    @FranticCashew 11 років тому

    Calm down people. This was probably filmed when John was on paternity leave. Grace is super adorbs and babies are a lot of work. Having her fill in makes sense.

    My friend's dad made one of those protesting arrests for Martin Sheen. He was protesting without a permit in the Capital.

  • @Kelgorn
    @Kelgorn 11 років тому

    To those complaining that John isn't in the Video; The ones that John is not in were probably filmed when he was taking a couple weeks off of videos to help with his newborn son. So chill out and wait, he's going to be back.

    @zachboi13 10 років тому +1

    What about when Mathew Broderick was arrested for drifting into oncoming traffic, killing and mother and daughter and got off with a $175 fine and time served?
    Isn't that a little more "unfortunate"
    God, this is like the video game list, fucked up.

  • @katies354
    @katies354 11 років тому

    Grace! What a lovely surprise :)
    For everybody asking where John is, he is probably on The Fault in Our Stars movie set or taking care of his new born baby.

  • @emeraldswillfall

  • @EpicuriousGeorge
    @EpicuriousGeorge 10 років тому +1

    I must say, I prefer Grace's content when she's working off of her own script... or lack thereof. Having other people write what Grace says just... doesn't quite feel like Grace. I think John executes these much better.

  • @ProsyStrangers
    @ProsyStrangers 11 років тому

    He's only just gotten back from paternity leave and these were probably filmed in advance...I think Grace is a great fill in. Keeps the quirky awkward feel going, and better than that other series going on this channel.

    @TacomaPaul 11 років тому

    I was "arrested" for complaining that I didn't have a reservation at a hotel (their fault... but they gave me the next day free)... there was a cop in lobby. He said, "I'll give you a free place".
    Wasn't really "arrested"... he gave me my own cell and let me take my headphones in.
    Sooo.... we both had a laugh.

  • @eileanisland
    @eileanisland 11 років тому

    Wow, some of you guys are super mean. I love the fact that Grace is breaking the boundaries of her usual video style by doing a guest spot here. Also, stop assuming that she is not smart, please and thank you.

    Galileo wasn't arrested for heliocentrism exactly, he was arrested essentially for: 1. Stating his pet theory as fact, despite no valid evidence. 2. Using that to mislead people and espouse his own, quite specific, theological views. 3. Insulting the pope. The Church had little problem with the theory of heliocentrism itself, contrary to popular belief.

  • @FlareLord15

  • @Keranna1234
    @Keranna1234 11 років тому

    Everybody stop being mean to Grace! Sure the timing was kind of off, but that's probably mostly due to the fact that we are not used to her. Be glad that they are still making videos while John isn't here. Let him live his life!

  • @jamiebennett7490
    @jamiebennett7490 11 років тому

  • @JohnDoe-qx3zs
    @JohnDoe-qx3zs 11 років тому

    Note, for Socrates, the punishment for corrupting the youth in general (not just religiously) was death by lethal ingestion. According to Plato, his main defense argument was that the specific things they charged him with, he never did himself, only the comedian's parody of him did those. He had lots of other arguments for his innocence (his speech is almost a small book on its own), but once convicted, he refused to flee on principle.

  • @sydney-mf7fb
    @sydney-mf7fb 11 років тому

    Guys, no need to be mean to Grace. I highly doubt she'll be staying forever. John probably just had other things to do. Grace did her best and doesn't need you guys saying you're going to unsubscribe because she was in ONE episode.
