Choose the New PBS Science Show

From PBS|Science :: Watch and Weigh In Here’s the experiment: Throughout January, PBS will broadcast three new science programs. Only one program will become a regular science series on PBS. We want you to help us decide. Watch the programs on your PBS station or, beginning January 1st, visit the companion sites below to watch each pilot show. Then tell us what you think! * Wired Science, airs Wednesday, January 3 * Science Investigators, airs Wednesday, January 10 * 22nd Century, airs Wednesday, January 17 Edutainment at its finest. I am currently reviewing all the programs on the PBS website and will be reserving judgment until I view the complete episode for each program. I will tell you this, however, I crave science content- woosh and flash do little for me.

Must Watch More... of the... TV

Watching some videos at GBS.tv. They ran "Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006". Fantastic stuff. There's nothing like zombie ultra gore animated in super cute 16 bit pixel style set to a rock soundtrack to make your day. Features include: ++ Christopher Walken evolving into a mountain range ++ Sammo Hung in a sweat suit ++ The cast of Predator ++ and much, much more!

Anne Rice

Know what's funny? Anne Rice wrote a series of smutty novels about Sleeping Beauty. They aren't too good, but are a hilarious concept when one considers that she's now found her some Jesus. Beware what ye publish, for ye will probably have to sign a copy twenty-some odd years down the line.

Not clear from your original post. Also, is this directly sexual for you, i.e. are you getting horny from it? -- Katharine
