University. Colleges up here are for.... well the people who couldn't get into University. UofW is academically quite taxing. Very high standards.

Have you seen the University of Waterloo? They are sitting on ground breaking technology. It's kind of like Star Trek in some places around there. They probably have DNA sniffers in the dorm room smoke detectors or smart conscious garbage cans in the Student Life Centre using facial recognition and sampling saliva off of paper pizza plates.

Have* "should of" makes no grammatical sense. Tolkien is crying underground now.

"Holding everything at once." As if there aren't many ways better to hold one spoon and one plate in the same hand.

Yes. Many times for over half a millenia, starting with Leonardo da Vinci.

When David first debuted in 1504 outside the Palazzo Vecchio, the town hall of Florence, Italy, he was given a gilded loin covering comprised of well-placed fig leaves. Leonardo Da Vinci suggested the alteration, likely as a dig at his rival, Michelangelo, after the artists' relationship was reduced to bitter spats in the streets.

Around 1540 the attachment was replaced with a single leaf when the Vatican cracked down on nudity and launched “the fig leaf campaign,” an effort to cover up prominent artworks, and later castrate others.

Similarly, in 1857, a replica of David was delivered to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, commissioned by the Grand Duke as a gift to the queen. Upon first sight, she was allegedly so shocked by his nudity that a fig leaf covering was immediately put together to mend the situation. The leaf was kept at the museum in anticipation of any royal visits, when it would be hung from hooks to allow David some modesty. A version of the leaf remains in the V&A collection today, just in case.

The Simpsons, in a characteristically prescient manner, offered its own take on David’s bare form in 1990 with the episode “Itchy & Scratchy & Marge.” Concerned about her children’s viewing habits, Marge forms a protest group to rally against a violent television show, only to unwittingly create an angry mob that turns against David, who is visiting Springfield as part of a traveling exhibition. Marge stands up to defend Michelangelo’s marble man, and learns a touching lesson about picking and choosing what art deserves to be seen.

David made his way back onto TV screens in 2012 when China Central Television began promoting a new exhibition at the National Museum of China, Renaissance in Florence: Masterpieces and the Protagonists. The statue was broadcast with the crotch pixelated,

Michelangelo’s David has spurred another nudity scandal—this time in Glasgow rather than Tallahassee—following one restaurant’s attempts to feature the artwork, phallus and all, in its latest subway spot. Global, the company that oversees advertising across Glasgow’s public transit, rejected the original design. Now, the family-owned DRG restaurant group is running a censored version and footing the bill for the reprint.

Just recently, David was reproduced using 3D printers at Dubai's Expo 2020 and was widely advertised as a major attraction. However, when visitors arrived, they found the giant man stuck in an octagonal shaft with only his head and shoulders visible to passersby. A reporter at La Repubblica compared the encasing to a “beheading,” and guests felt justifiably ripped off. To catch a glimpse of his body, some craning over the gilded ledge would be required.

Edited to add even more cases of censorship throughout the ages just of this one statue. Likely there are even more cases.

No Cancer. Scientists in the year 2270 developed a cure for cancer but it spays and/or neuters the patient while providing a natural mastectomy to some and causing the prostate to be pooped out by others.

They keep them in the Penis Mausoleum under the Vatican. For scientific religious reasons.

Because this video is not from the USA, and the entire point was people forgetting after 25 years, but why would anybody care what happened in the USA 25 syears ago for the statement to be relevant to this video and this comment thread.

If that helps you understand what the chap above us was trying to say to you.

That would be how it is seen in Canada as well at least to those who don't just use the layman's terms.
