charmingdarkness asked: If you wrote a non-fiction, popular science book called No Edge, maybe with the aid of questions sent in by nerdfighters asking not only about cosmology, but also everything else amazing within this mind-blowing universe of ours... Well, that might just be the best thing ever.
flamingoxboots asked: I just fell instantly, madly, passionately in love with Steam Powered Giraffe so I'm just letting you know that my "like" should probably count for two.
WatchAHHHH! HERE IS THE NEWS! The Show with Ze Frank RETURNS!
AHHHH!!!
I HAVE EXTREMELY EXCITING NEWS BUT I CANNOT SHARE IT! AHHHH!!!! I’M SO SORRY I’M SUCH A HORRIBLE TEASE. GOOD LORD, AGH!
Tomorrow morning, I think.
scarletfame asked: The closing on sci-show (obesity) was particularly unhelpful. At the end of an insightful episode was ill placed sarcasm such as "change planets," "choose who your parents are," and "let your house freeze over." Do you have any real advice? Cause I obviously can't do those things. :/

twoworldsoneheart asked: Hey Hank, the other day I met someone who swore left and right that we never landed on the moon, I know these people are actually quite frequently found, but it got me wondering what your opinion was on this matter! *Insert laugh here* Bye!
allisongoestoartschool asked: Hello Hank! Some friends and I were discussing body hair, and we were wondering if there were some evolutionary reason for only having body hair where we have it, such as the lower arms, underarms, lower leg, etc. We came up with some pretty sweet hypotheses, none of which stood up very long to logic, so I decided to ask you :D
caolcaoimhe asked: Hey Hank, I hope you don't mind that I did a portrait of you. I generally ask people before posting my paintings of them, but I kinda figured your face is everywhere already. Anyway, if you do check it out, I hope you like it! :)))
foreveradancer asked: do you run the scishow tumblr?
iamnotahurricane asked: Will you pretty please write a song about the fact that the universe has no edge? :)
You know I was kidding right?
So I made my video today for two reasons. One, because I wanted to showcase and comment upon the vast amount of cute that we have in our world, because it’s fun to think about things we don’t think about (even if I’m thinking about them in idiotic ways.)
But the other reason is that I wanted to point out a few ways to make a ludicrous argument seem semi-sane. This is how...
Why Black History Month
So I posted this SciShow video earlier today and, well, I was surprised by some of the comments. Many viewers were of the opinion that recognizing scientists of a particular race was unnecessary and even wrong.
Basically, indicating that celebrating Black History Month is somehow racist.
Let’s get something clear here…race is a thing. We can walk around all day and say “I...
pipsnow asked: In your song "It All Makes Sense At The End", I was wondering if the statistics are averages for how much time a person usually spends performing those tasks, or if they are a specific person's, or if you just pulled the numbers out of the air? :)

“Get in your cup!”

I’m laughing pretty hard right now: I have been going through all the footage and stuff, and I was watching, for the hell of it, the full band “Accio Deathly Hallows,” because it rocks. Hank is smack in the midst of the realization of his nerd-rock-godness: a crowd of thousands jumping in time…
