I want to know more things in fun ways.

I'm looking for fun educational youtube videos.

As silly as the "How Many" day was, it led me to this, which is a video by a guy who clearly has educated opinions about a few specific subjects (in this case election policy and British history) done in a web-culture style which I find absolutely addictive. I want more.

I want to know more things and I want them presented this way. And I want them now.

Where should I be looking? Thank you.

Also from the blue:

The Kid Should See This
Bill Nye monster post
(To clarify, sometimes smart material aimed at kids is a great refresher/intro for adults)

History of Cosmetics Fascinating, even if you think you don't care about the subject matter

From the green:

Informational animations (and particularly Hans Rosling)

Not the same style, but TED Talks are awesome. QualiaSoup presents lots of philosophical arguments in a way you might like, but he does push his personal viewpoint quite strongly (although persuasively and logically).

Check out the Story of Stuff Project on Youtube! I first found the The Story of Cap & Trade, which I thought was great.
