The incredible chart mapping out the relationships among probability distributions comes from Larry Leemis and Jacquelyn McQueston[1]. They and many other contributors put together a website providing all the details on that chart : http://www.math.wm.edu/~leemis/chart/...
Wikipedia has two [2][3] articles that provided a lot of interesting relationships. Also, John D. Cook proves that the student-T is a mixture of normals in [4].

Extra Notes
In this video, I label the Poisson a "continuous" distribution, which is certainly not true in the general context - it is as discrete as they come. A better label than "continuous" would directly reference the specific limit that is taking place. Also, such a label would separate them from the other continuous distributions that can be reached with different limits. Thank you mCoding for pointing this out.
