These girls are gutsy... or mad. Have a look at the last 10 sec of the clip. Great fun so long as you don't get swept out.

How many people here follow Professor Brian Cox ? Exceptional scientist and communicator. Just watched his latest series on The Forces of Nature.
Fascinating ideas and the trips to various parts of the globe and different cultures to explore the ideas is brilliant. Well worth the time.

Some really far out and creative shows on the ABC.
One series is called "You can't ask that ". Essentially posing some outrageous/ dumb/nasty/off questions to groups of people who are different.
Think Obese people, Sex workers, Muslims, Transgenders.
Anyway I had a look at a few episodes and they were eye opening. Check out the two looking at Muslims and Transgenders.
In the Transgender doc there was one person who was particularly "outrageous". Her name was StarLady. I had to follow her up and it was fascinating and inspiring. Check them out.
You Can't Ask That
Muslims
Muslims answer the questions Australians wanted to ask but were too embarrassed or afraid to ever ask in person.

Queen of the Desert
from Alex Kelly
Not only has she got pink extensions, painted on eyebrows, glitter stockings and superman hotpants, Starlady’s a youth worker in some of Australia’s most remote and challenging places. And she reckons that hairdressing can improve people’s lives.
Like a real life Priscilla, Starlady takes us on a Queen of the Desert journey to Areyonga, an indigenous community in Central Australia, where she’ll work with a group of curious and cheeky young people.

Inspiring. There's a relationship to trading, also, I believe.

They keep cutting off the links for copyright, but it's all over Youtube.
Extremely impressive 60 minutes interview, his family also.

Half Time at the Colosseum
Not a video but something to add to the dinner party conversation. Have you ever wondered what happened to keep the Romans amused between chariot races ? Well just like the Grand Final and the Superbowl some bright spark decided half time entertainment with lots of betting opportunities was just the ticket to keep the fickle Roman crowd on side.

Just been watching The Big Short on You Tube. Basically the nuts and bolts behind the the $5trillion dollar bloodbath that wrecked millions of peoples lives in the US and then around the world.
For those of you who believe in the intelligence and integrity of the big banks... nah. your all too savey for that.
But it is a great reminder of just how xxxxed our economic system really is.

Yep shows how corrupt the system really is and how human nature can overcome the system even with men in suits and computers. These outcast characters really live interesting lives.
Recently watched imitation game. Brilliant movie although may have some creative licence is based on a true story. This clip is quite funny
One man and a team of mathematicians, broke the enigma code. The story re writes most of the history. ENGLAND KNEW ALMOST EVERY GERMAN ATTACK before it happened during WWII after the code was broken but couldn't stop it otherwise the germans would know and could change the code.
Any history book that says otherwise is infact a lie. They were not surprised many times during the war, only command did not tell the army or allies. WOW. Crazy stuff.
It make you wonder if the US did really know about pearl habour as some people say.
