Look Around You: The Brits are Legit

Look around you. Look around you. Just look around you. Have you worked out what we're looking for? Correct. The answer is…Look Around You.

As a Canadian nerd, I remember nervously threading the gigantic films cartridges into the projector teeth fearing that one of the National Film Board’s great treasures would be scratched or lit on fire during my brief stint as an AV club member. (Oh God. Are they going to laugh at me?)

Look Around You, a parody series of 70’s science films with British voice overs reminds me of the dark days of public school geekdom, long before dotcom was even an egg in the fallopian tubes of time. That’s right kids…it’s British, it’s dry, you might have believed it except for the fact that you are quite sure that “iron” has not been in use since the “Stone Age”.

For now I’ll start you off with Maths, Sulphur, Ghosts and Germs. That should waste at least a good hour of solid work time.

Funny. And geeky. Both. (It was certainly illuminating to recall that "man has been using iron since the stone age.")

I propose a new word to describe this kind of humour: feeky.
