I've mentioned Mental Floss before, but that was in the context of their books and magazines. They have since spread their wings and have joined the ranks of publications with a video presence on YouTube.
I recommend the Mental Floss channel largely do to my interest in trivia, and the short, bite-sized nature of the videos, presented in rapid-fire format by... John Green.
Yes, that John Green. Not being a big fan of his books (they are one of the reasons this blog exists; please don't take this too personally, Mr. Green, it is a matter of taste as much as anything), I was dismayed to find this, but he is perfect for the job. His quick delivery and manner really serve the videos well. He comes across knowledgeable and not too smug.
