yes - "It will be like Donald Duck in mathland, but finally helping me keep straight the difference between stress and strain", I thought.

Even I clicked on it hoping it to be a an engineering concept related video.

But interesting video nonetheless.

For an updated treatment of the same topic, I'd recommend Robert Sapolsky:

How can I find more of these vintage Disney videos? Are they shorts? How are they categorized? I remember watching a few growing up and I'd love to track them all down again.

It's useful information, applicable to so many, and delivered in an approachable, engaging and nonjudgemental manner. I really appreciate how clearly it conveys that stresses/strains are a universal feeling, and a part of life.
