- This one and the one where he investigates the guy who supposedly sailed around Staten Island are my favourites. I love the way he unpacks the investigative process - Not sure I’ve seen that Staten Island one, but I’ve queued it up now! - I really liked the US State Flag one, that tickled me good. 
 
- His video on runway numbers is great as well - The airport codes and interstate codes videos are similarly great! 
 
- I really like CGPgray, except for like, 10 years ago, when he made a video about why the british monarchy is necessary and useful. - He never says they’re necessary but does explain how they’re useful. Is the royal family not actually bringing in more money for the government than they’re using? - Here’s a great video Shaun made in response to the CGP one. 
 
- He really likes useless things and uneccesary, pedantic order. Monarchy is where the two meet. 
 
- This was a good one to watch 
- Damn you for making me watch that. All the way to the end and beyond. In one pass. And for becoming better for having watched it. 
- Really didn’t cover that part of Alexander Pope’s life in The DaVinci Code, did they? - Despite it being the driving force of his entire life. - Alexander Pope was that bitch. 
- Amazing! 
- That was much funnier and much more entertaining and interesting than I ever would have guessed. - There’s a few of them where he’s gone off the deep end, for viewer entertainment. The rock, paper, scissors video(s) are particularly intricate. - lol that was the one I watched after posting that comment! 
 
 
- edit2: added quotes, fixed words - Awesome video! Always a great time when we go on rabbit hole adventures! - My go to from CGP Grey is: The Rules for Rulers!

 - These [corrections] how much soever they may look like ridicule… are undoubted confirmations of [your] industry, and will ever be thought so by persons of deeper penetration. - Alexander Pope - Damning with faint praise. - Alexander Pope - He was a most sordid poor wretch; had universal mistrust of the generality of mankind; lived in a solvenly, stingy manner, and died possessed of what he had not the heart to enjoy. - Alexander Pope - Thomas Hearne vs. Alexander Pope, reminds me of hiphop social media beefs, like the 50 Cent one, hahaha
