Regarding Project Azorian, one interesting tidbit about the project is that according to some sources, the saying "I can neither confirm nor deny these allogations" came from this project, and it is indeed called the Azorian Defense. Also, Howard Hughes was involved in the project - the ship was named after him, as a cover up for what the ship was for.
5:29 "there's a limit to how much fun....." that takes me back to xmas 1987, Ilfracombe, Devon, The Bunch of Grapes Public House. A small group of us began singing some cheerful song, which others joined in - at which the landlord shushed everyone and told us all to stop. One person piped up _"we were only being cheerful"_ to which our gleeful host replied "there's a limit to how cheerful anyone should be" and demanded we all leave. At Xmas ....... (so spontaneously everyone stole the balls from the pool table and compared the number they got once outside).
And, I saw a Mola Mola just off the coast of New Jersey. I was on a fishing trip and the captain got a call on the radio so we reeled in and went to see it. It was every bit of 6' by 8', lying flat on the surface. The captain told us that sharks took big bites out them, because they were too easy.
I always wanted to be in the audience for that QI question abiut the balloons so I could point out the elves were wrong. The balloons do not go backwards. They continue to move forwards, but relative to the motion of the vehicle around them they appear to move backwards. If you view the balloons from the outside they will always be moving in the same direction, at no point will they move backwards (until they bounce off something or get yanked back by their tether)
I have watched several ‘reaction’ videos of the movie Jaws. On all of them watched by ladies, when the dog went into the sea, they all said “ Oh, not the dog!” None of them said “Oh, not the people!” 😕
Just remembered many years ago when my parents took me to see "Old Yeller" on its release, I was actually angry that the mother survived when the poor dog got shot! My viewpoint has changed in the intervening years - well, in most cases 😂
I have a problem with that shark video at 19:00. If it's the music that causes fear then you could use the music in isolation and get a fear response, which I don't think is likely.

I find more dog people will say they don't like cats but less cat people will say they don't like dogs. Many cat fiends I know love animals generally, including dogs.
If you can cope with cats, you'll cope with a wider variety of animals! Dogs, being rather pack-needy, can make their owners mutually needy and in-ward turning.
@GizmoOnyett totally agree. Dog lovers are very insular. I love cats best, but I can appreciate dogs (they're just too much work - may as well have another child 🙄). I also have 2 rabbits and love them as much as my 3 cats ❤
As a both cats & dogs lover, I've found myself with more cats as I get older ( 65 ) simply because cats don't need to be exercised - they're the pet of the lazy 🤣 & yes I've acknowledged that about myself for many years 👍👍❤️🤣
