In Hello Internet Episode 40 I discussed a dead whale which became dinner for Great White Sharks in the Backstairs Passage, near Adelaide.
I also mentioned stupid tourists jumping onto the whale carcass.
The incident happened so long ago that I felt sure footage would not exist on YouTube.
After several similar but different incidents were highlighted by listeners, this BBC article with a few small pictures was brought to my attention.
But now I can do one better.
An old friend at Ten Eyewitness News in Australia went into the archives and found this.
So we have one idiot on the whale - but still no evidence of the "man holding a baby".
My quest continues - or my memory is faulty.
As discussed on Hello Internet 41...
In addition to my beloved Omega Speedmaster, I've added a Slow Watch to my wrist rotation.
Here's my new watch - a birthday present after months of pining
I love this timepiece, which has just one hand rotating through 360 degrees (24 hours) per day.
It's a really clean, coolly designed Swiss watch.
Speedy and Slow
While Omega is unlikely (at this stage) to ditch George Clooney in favour of me, there may be a chance for me to finally secure a coveted "watch endorsement" from Slow!?
HERE ARE THE 'CV ITEMS' I DISCUSSED ON HELLO INTERNET
1. A large audience.
2. The Hello Internet podcast and its watch obsession.
3. The number pre-occupied YouTube channel Numberphile and its occasional watch and time-related videos.
5. Sixty Symbols and its many time videos, including slowing down of time!
6. Objectivity which prominently features my hands and wrist (!) - the famous white gloves of Objectivity.
7. Other "slow videos" in my spare time, including the Audrey Bubbles film.
8. The killer blow - my name Brady literally means "slow".
I await a phone call. :)
My friends at MSRI showed me these two nice videos giving a flavour of the recent National Math Festival held in Washington.
Wish I'd been there.
Just a short mea culpa from me.
In the last Numberphile video about 82,000, Dr James Grime recorded a little credit to Thomas Oléron Evans. I omitted it entirely by mistake but have since added it to the description.
Here's proof of James' acknowledgment! :)
More Objectivity fans at the Royal Society in what seems to be the growing craze of "white glove pilgrimages".
Keith tells me: "Here we have Objectivity fans Ti Jie Bo and Chua Jia Min from Singapore. They hopped off a plane from Stockholm this morning and came straight to the Royal Society for some quality glove time."
