ah, youtube. a place to watch perfect strangers make fools of themselves on video. or watch a cat riding a Roomba around the house. (frankly, i prefer the second option - i like cats)
i have two options. i can talk about the cat riding the Roomba or i could talk about the actual educational videos they have on youtube. hmmm.... cat or documentaries... cat or documentaries... oh well, i'll go for the documentaries cause what more can i say about a cat riding a Roomba other than it's rather amusing?

as interesting as it is seeing all the video clips someone has put together of their 1990 family reunion set to one of the Monkee's songs, i've found some other things on youtube i find much more interesting. documentaries. i know it sounds boring, but i like documentaries. History and Discovery channels are two of my favorite stations and if absolutely nothing else is on - i can always find something on one of these sorts of channels that catches my eye. almost always.
somewhere along the line i got interested in nuclear explosions. for the life of me, i can't remember how or why, but i did. actually, it might have been something about Chernobyl and how Russia (or USSR) handled the incident and how it's currently treated - the government supplying a small medical stipend to people living within a certain radius and all the medical problems locals have. i was also fascinated by an entire city having to be abandoned (another topic i find interesting: pictures or stories about abandoned buildings and cities) and how the radiation doesn't seem to be affecting the wildlife in the area as much as it does to humans. (Chernobyl before and after - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TNR0U_kB6k&feature=related) but moving on, if you go to youtube, there are some fascinating things about Chernobyl on their site - from videos from people visiting Chernobyl now to videos taken at the time to videos of when the town was created. and a couple of documentaries on the subject have been made and posted on the site. i know that this is probably against copyright, but since i didn't post it and i'm not downloading it, just watching it, i don't see a problem with this.
i really like how they recommend similar videos as well. i could and have spend hours on this site. often watching cats riding Roomdas.
