My doctor told me that if I take pain medication for actual pain, I should be fine, but if I take it for fun, then I would be in trouble.  I took pain medication after surgery, but got off it as quickly as possible.

This is an old video.  Kurzgesagt eventually took it down because the accuracy was criticized, but I think that it is interesting:

So how do you know this guy?  


I have been watching the VLOG brothers, John and Hank Green, for 15 years and shared many of their videos.

They alternate making videos and say hello to each other.

John Green is quite the author. He wrote "The Fault in Our Stars," which was made into a terrific movie about cancer. He lives near Indianapolis, and Hank Green lives near Yellowstone.

Hank Green has made many videos about his cancer recovery.

This is the first video I saw with Hank Green fifteen years ago:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRRGaxx8Zf4

Rip Marty the Octopus

Occasionally, this guy would post videos about his pet octopus.  He gave the octopus challenges, like having to open a jar to get to food.  The octopus would respond to him like there was a bond between them.  I didn't know they had such short lifespans.
