Embedding higher quality Youtube videos (”&fmt=18″)

I’ve hardly linked to or saved a Youtube video without adding “&fmt=18” for the last six months, but embedding higher quality videos was a mystery to me.

The trick turns out to be the addition of &ap=%2526fmt%3D18 to the end of the url part of the embed code.

Embedded below is footage from the last moments of the sixties.

Idolatrous Socialism from Space: Jesus people prayed for “God’s economy” at statue of bull on Wall Street

October 29 2008 was apparently “The Day of Prayer for the World’s Economies”. WTF:

“We are going to intercede at the site of the statue of the bull on Wall Street to ask God to begin a shift from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the ‘Lion’s Market,’ or God’s control over the economic systems.”

Freestyle Powerizer Stilts are tools used in some new “extreme sport”. Swebounce.com (related to one of the persons in the video) describes the phenomenon as follows:

“Powerisers are bouncy stilts that you strap yourself into. With some training you can run as fast as 20mph and jump 2 meters high. For many people it’s enough to just run around and bounce but there are many kind of tricks you can perform on powerisers. I would say that this is the extreme sport of the future.”

Pääsy Youtubeen estetty poliisiviranomaisten tietokoneilla

“Tavallinen poliisi ei pääse tietokoneeltaan katselemaan YouTube-palvelun videoita verkossa.

Poliisin työtä ohjaava sisäministeriö ylläpitää listaa internetsivustoista, joille tavallisella poliisilla ei ole pääsyä. Suosittu videopalvelu on mukana estolistalla, jota ministeriö perustelee tietoturvasyillä.
