• From how we gain muscle, to if building a city underwater could work, we answer 10
of your most burning questions about life.
• Hey there, my name is Doopie, I'll be reading out the questions and answers
• I'm Danger Dolan and I'm here to blow your mind with truth
10 – Sans Fangirl How do we get phobias?
• Phobias are nightmares and past experiences that always live on in your mind.
Personally I have a phobia of war, I’ll never be able to wash myself clean of my past
back in my war days…
So many innocent lives lost, the deaths of every solider still weighs on me to this day…
• Phobias usually take shape during childhood or early adolescence as the result of an unpleasant
incident that then develops into a phobia.
Later in life the brain will recall the memory and sensation of this earlier incident and
the body reacts as if it is happening again.
The chances of developing a phobia increases if a child is aware of their parents own phobia.
9 – Ethannorman123 Do we have to lift weights to gain muscle?
• It’s not about the weights!
It’s all about the bulk up!
You gotta put down that dumbbell and pick up a protein shake bro.
Here, I’ll show yah how to really pump up your guns.
****** • The Bulk didn’t work!!
Aghh • No, it is not necessary to lift weights
to gain muscle or get stronger.
Bodyweight and plyometric exercise is a common way to build muscle.
These are exercises such as squats, push-ups, and pull-ups that use the weight of ones own
body to work out.
By increasing the difficulty of such exercises, the body will then adapt by developing muscle
in a similar way to increasing the weight you lift at the gym.
• Agghhhhh it hurtsss • Use the band aid!
Use the band aid!
• * THESE ARENT MAKING ME STRONGER!
8 – Wade_You Why do we have different Blood types?
• Hmmm speaking of blood types…
Doopie what colour blood do you bleed?
• Uhhh red?
• WHA- Ooh... uh eww.
Oh man, I’m so sorry...
Doopie I didn’t realize.
• W-what?
What’s wrong?
• You’re a ‘normal blood’, eghh- see I rank all members of planet Dolan based on
blood- Personally I’m the best because I don’t bleed.
You’re somewhere down in the middle.
Tssk tssk what a shame.
• Different blood types only occurred because of genetic mutation, millions of years ago.
Originally there was only blood type, A, but a mutation occurring around 3.5 million years
ago caused type B and a million years later type O.
This mutation modified the sugars on the surface of red blood cells, which affects the compatibility
of blood.
7 – Patreon - DragenDemon Why are we still tired when we have slept longer than 8 hours?
• Ehh I dunno dude, either you’re not trying hard enough or you’re just straight
up dying man.
• Dolan you’re going to stress them out more about sleeping c’mon!
• YEA!
I know!
Stress will LITERALLY cause cancer!
Stop being stressed!
Just stop!
STOP IT!
CALM DOWN OR YOU’RE GOING TO DIE!!!
• 8 hours sleep is only a guideline and so getting that exact number of hours could
mean you are getting too much or not enough sleep.
This is because sleep occurs in cycles of REM and non-REM sleep patterns.
These can vary from person to person.
If you wake during an REM phase it is more likely that you will feel tired.
Sleep disorders and looking at a bright screen just before sleep are also factors for not
being well rested.
• * 6 – Naomi Duckett What is the oldest boardgame
and where did it originate?
• I know a game, a very high intensity, and high risk game- one that will absolutely
get your blood going…it involves a gun and two people and one bullet.
It- • OHH do you mean Russian roulette?
• What?
Uhh...
no no- I uhh, was talking about ehh Shmutten Munlet
• Senet is the oldest boardgame that we know of and dates back to Ancient Egypt around
3100 BC.
Depictions of the game have been found in tombs dating back to this period and more
than 40 games have actually been found.
Despite this, the rules of the games are not known exactly.
Senet is shown being played by two players and it has 30 squares, 3 rows of 10 and uses
pawns.
Four sticks or two knuckle-bones are thrown like dice.
5 – Chantelle Gomez Why do people get red eyes when they have their pictures taken with
flash?
• YEAH IT MEANS HES A NOOB PHOTOGRAPHER!
He SUCKS at his job!
Check me out on insta, I’ll show ya how a real photographer does it!
Hey Doopie take a pic of me so I can upload it to all my followers.
• * Uhh mm woops I accidentally posted it.
• AHHh DOOPIE!
…I was blinking!
• This is the flash reflecting off the retina at the back of the eye, which is red in colour.
It generally happens in low light, when the flash is close to the lens of the camera and
when the subject is looking directly into the lens.
This is because the eye doesn’t have enough time to reduce the amount of light it lets
in and this gives the flash time to enter the eye, bounce of the retina before the image
is captured.
4 – Bioshockgirl123 Is it possible build a city underwater?
• There’s only one way to find out!
FULL SPEED TO THE OCEAN!
Gooby here we come!!
* *************
• It is possible to build an underwater city, although it probably wouldn’t resemble
the cities we know today.
Underwater research facilities already exist and it is thought that the technology could
be used to build places that accommodate thousands.
The only restrictions would be the depth of such cities, which would probably be built
close to the surface or no more than 300m blow sea level.
The pressure level would make the cost of building walls thick enough prohibitively
expensive.
A company in Japan has already drawn up plans for such a place.
3 – Opcilio zero Why can an owl rotate its head a full turn?
• That’s because it’s broken!
The neck isn’t screwed on correctly, it comes out at the wrong time of the day!
It doesn’t recycle, it picks on little kids!
I could go on and on!
Just awful birds!
• * • Ughh Dolan, ya’ know what?
...I don’t give a HOOT!
I don’t need to take this!
I’m so done with this- I’m OUTTA HERE!
• Noo…
I…
I didn’t mean it….
**** • Owls have developed variations to their
bone structure and vascular system allowing for up to 270 degrees in movement.
This development occurred because their eyes have limited mobility due to their tubular
shape.
The owl’s blood vessels get larger as they near the brain and are also more connected
than normal.
Their larger neck bone cavities allow the arteries to move when they are twisted.
2 – Sagar Shrestha Why do people get sleep paralysis?
• Okay, I’m going to level with you guys and tell you all a trade secret, sleep paralysis
isn’t real- it’s just something us lazy folk do to get out of work.
Oh- I think I hear Doopie coming, here watch this!
• Dolan, where are you?
We need to record for the next episode!
• Eghhhh…
Doopie…
I can’t move... ughhh- your gunna have to go on without me..
Sleep paralysis…..
• Ughhh…
** • Sleep paralysis occurs when you wake during
the sleep phase called REM (rapid eye movement).
This is the phase of sleep where dreams occur and the muscles are paralysed in order to
stop the body from acting out what is happening in a dream.
Sleep paralysis happens because you are now conscious but the body is still in a paralysed
state.
Common factors that contribute to this condition are lack of sleep and an inconsistent sleep
schedule.
1 – Fico Simhanandi Why are we called“humans”?
• UM EXCUSE ME?
THIS IS 2016, DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY SPECIES?!
HOW DARE YOU!!!
• The English word human originated with the Latin word for “man”, homo.
This meant “earthly being” and comes from the adjective humanus.
In French the word became humain, then eventually in Middle English developed into the word
human.
Humans are referred to as Homo Sapien, which means “wise man”.
• Dolan, what species are you even?
I mean you look homo erectus at the very least.
• WHAT!?!
Doopie y-you can’t call me that, the kids are watching!!
I’m sorry but as your boss, I need to recommend you for a mandatory seminar class about upsetting
and offending co-workers.
You really need to control that mouth…geez!
