Cosmos coming back with NdG Tyson!

[hadespussercats]

When did the dumbing down of American science documentaries begin anyway?

I don't know, but I've recently learned that the so-called "History Channel" has become little more than a 24 hour one-sided bible documentary station. My mother-in-law has it on all day to help reinforce her beliefs, because if it's on the History Channel it must be true.

Bible "history" or Nazis. Or Ancient Egypt woo. Crap, basically.

[Cormac]

I bet Brian Cox is fuming...

Cox doesn't have near the personality of Tyson. Give him a dozen years or so to season and he can take a shot at a 3rd gen Cosmos.

Maybe if he wasn't Northern...

Rather a gritty northerner than some shandy drinking southern fop, begad!

:fixed:

You don't need the "ed". (And I didn't break that one.)

A few years back it was all US Civil War and WWII. So I predict a program on how the ghost of Lincoln helped crack the Enigma code soon.

I didn't even know Mike had a brother.

Bah, Einstein cracked the Enigma code. He simply went into the future...

We watched a "Top Shot" marathon yesterday (not a bad show, even if you're not a gun nut.) They had some promo about Aliens and the pyramids or something.

I wish I could remember who it was who went on the rant: "Oooh, people could never have built the Pyramids... WHY NOT? It's a PILE OF ROCKS!"

IIRC, It all started with a contractor insisting that it couldn't be done with today's technology. If the interviewer would have offered more money for the job, I'm sure it would have become more possible.

True that, he would have done a better job if he had worn a flat cap and had a Ferret under each arm and a tattoo of a white rose on his knuckles.

You two want to tell Phil Harding to his face that he's a shandy drinking fop?

[Clinton Huxley]

Harding? Needs a haircut. Damned disgrace.

Pfft! Listen to you Northern namby-pambies with your "haircuts"...

Regarding the pyramid construction, a group of students from Indiana University built a section of Cheop's Pyramid in a quarry just to see how hard it was. They did a respectable job in one week, with just fifty kids. Ten thousand workers would have buzzed through that job.

Yeah, well at least we don't have indoor lavatories, like you effete milksops.

Funnily enough, the garden shed in the place I'm moving to soon used to be the outside bog.

Who the hell would want an outhouse indoors?
