Haha! Well done noticing!

I've just scrolled down to type this comment :D

This is not so much a joke as some might think!

Sid Grim Which is one of the closest relatives of T-Rex you can find on earth today. Seriously not joking. Birds and dinosaurs are closely related.

Zardo Dhieldor You probably descend from amoebas. Does that make you an amoeba?

If you are referring to birds, they didn't know birds were dinosaurs. In fact, dinosaur means terrible lizard, so they got their ideas from modern lizards , which is why they look so lizard like there.

Not sure if religious creatard, or a follower of Science that's fuckin' with us.

YourNansA Nonce : surely you actually do have sense of humour?

charlie hill surely you have a sense of humor

To all of you wonderful people in the replies, I think it's called a joke.

Feathers would require a lot of work.

They tried that like three times, but they keep getting loose and eating people.

+Joshua Pearce Four times...

+Joshua Pearce nice one :)

Jurassic Park?

plenty of holes in the fence on the east side (tramps and drunks go to drink at night)

Sounds like a jolly good time.

That is because during much of the year, sunlight isn't common is Sweden.

@@lohphat to be fair here in the UK it can get dark at like 4pm in the winter so it's not like sunlight is our bff either

Parks don't usually close in America either. It's a wired concept honestly.

Yearbook quote.

How brilliantly named.

The floor is made of floor

Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

Mojo jojo vibes

You mean like bottles with phlogiston and aether?

And carefully balanced trays of phlegms and humours.

Yeah, it would be amusing if there were evolutionary tables of our beliefs about the world, just like there are about our evolution from zilch to us.

+Mat Broomfield Reading through medical discoveries on the times history pages is super cool

I'm surprised Out-Dated Theories isn't a degree from some fancy college.

Don't you have to erase something from it as soon as you add it and add it as soon as you erase it? I feel like speed would have no bearing on an infinite loop.

@@Mythraen Gotta just treat it as a convergent series and the problem resolves to 0.5 of each building not on any lists being added to this list. This allows each object in the set to self-satisfy its own infinite loop. At any given time 0.5 of each building on this list will be on a list and 0.5 will not be on a list.

the mighty mallard.

I don't get it. Oh is it a train?

Birds are Dinosaurs.

your understanding of dinosaurs was disproven years ago. Lizards are ectothermic (Cold blooded). Dinosaurs (including birds) are the only clad aside from mammals that are Endothermic (warm blooded). It is now generally accepted that the Tyranosaurs Rex and its relatives had feathers, along with many other "classic" dinosaurs. It's also accepted the T-rex's closest living relative is the chicken. Are you going to tell me a T-rex is not a true dinosaur?

+metropod Being "generally accepted" doesn't mean it's true. The theory that dinosaurs were warm blooded is still that, a theory.

My man

Lookin' good

you definitely are the best Adam #WCPW

ADAM!

Blampied is better than you.

not very strange at all! sciences are all very flexible, and the nature of science is the continuous change of our trying to understand the world. whenever i hear the words "scientific fact" i can't help but giggle because i too think about the impermanence of sciences as we know them (especially ife science! i think thats what makes it so exciting)

It's really quite interesting how much we can change our views of the sciences. However, there are always going to be people who try to support theories that shouldn't be around anymore...

hare666 I agree but what is taught in schools is considered "fact" that may all change..

+Lord Darryll Duskwoody IV Same

***** But why did he say the "because they are on the list" part and then the "of buildings" at the end makes it even weirder

It's to point out the absurdity of what he was saying. But it's all true.

thats it, Im killing myself

Well, now we all want to know. Are you still around?

this was a short video full of....1 fact

Not plastic- since when did they have concrete 150 years ago? They are cast concrete.

Hmmm I always thought they were some sort of plastic too. In fact I vaguely remember (from when I was a kid, probably nearly 30 years ago) one of them having a hole in it, and that definitely looked like broken plastic (and hollow inside)

@@EdwardMillen According to Wikipedia, the exteriors are clay, from what I skimmed. Bakelite, the precursor to plastic, was invented long after these were made.

Born and still live in Beckenham, I used to want ti swim the the water and stand next to them

well they still in premier league, thats just plain rude to call em that.

The scientist would understand that this is the natural progression of scientific discovery

@@andersonrobotics5608 ...and they would still be dissapointed, as scientists are human too.

Yes it is, its a public park.

+Henry Brewster I really didn't want to go into the bureaucratic details of the system (particularly as it's different in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland)!

+Tom Scott you should totally go into it, it sounds pretty interesting. isn't Abbey Road Studios on the list?

Abbey Road Studio is Grade II, as is the famous zebra crossing outside it. you can search the list here - historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/

The video is short enough to include such interesting details(not that its bad being this short, but still... would be nice)

It would be great if you went into more detail about these places. Maybe make 2 videos, one that's a TLDW version at 2 minutes and an extended version at 10 minutes? You're taking the time to go to all these interesting places. A 2 minute video seems so short for such an investment.

Declaration of interest: She's my daughter.

I detect more than interest, theres positive whiffs of pride there dad!

+Steve Brace A very good read :D I didn't know this place was even still open till this video, I definitely plan to visit. Just one thing, in the (conserving historic monuments) chapter it says "some dominate the vista visible from several feet away" in my head this is an oxymoron, as being visible from several feel would insinuate the item is small, I may be the only one to see it this way but it just stuck out to me

+plantpot shoes I didn't know it existed until the kid wrote that article!

+plantpot shoes She actually said yards, not feet, but I see what you mean... You'd have to ask her about that :)

The red shirt saves the day again.

A reality that few will admit is that every rule exists because someone thought that it was important. Hand-waving bureaucracy as a reason to ignore rules system is dangerous.

@@roguishpaladin Haha I concede a point to you sir. Am reminded how so me view philosophy and likewise subjects at uni as useless, but I think they do add value to our society.

Me too. At this moment we have only a short vid with them, using stop motion animation.

of buildings.

That would constitute materially changing the display and would not be allowed under legislation. However, you could put up a notice board or boards in front of the fencing around the display noting the history of the site and how the dinosaurs are inaccurate. Depending on whether the entire Park is listed and what grade, you may or may not be able to consider a temporary, semi-permanent or permanent display near the original display that is updated. NB: did some digging. The entire Park is Grade II* Listed. This is the second highest tier in England and only 5.5% of listed buildings are this grade. By comparison 92% are grade II and 2.5% are grade I. No new permanent displays are likely to go up in Crystal Palace Park any time soon short of restoring Crystal Palace (which some companies have expressed interest and submitted plans to do; most recently a Chinese developer).

+George Laidlaw I know it would classify as a change, I just ment it would be cool to see old and new renditions of them :) good idea about the signs though

I went there a few years ago. If I recall correctly a sign somewhere does mention that the statues are not accurate. But the whole display is tucked away in an obscure corner of the park, so not many people see it unless they specifically seek it out.

The statues would change constantly then.

They didn’t purposefully pull it down - It burnt down, literally self destructed. It would be a heath and safety hazard

The UK is also significantly older than the USA...so that also has something to do with it

There are some creationists that believe in evolution that believe that god created single cell organisms initially and then everything evolved from them, I used to work with a lady like that. It's very weird.

Yet, they still naively think they are believers of Christ, when in fact they made up an entirely new branch of religion without even knowing it. Funny, that? Cognitive dissonance is a wonderfully fascinating human flaw.

That's called agnostic.

I thought creationism was invented as anti American propaganda to make them look stupid. I didn't think any modern country would put up with that sort of crap.

Good. Better to move than cause damage. There are plenty of ways he could have got a cable in though, maybe through an air brick or under a roof tile. Listed buildings officers are not unreasonable, they appreciate small, reversible changes are sometimes required.
