I taped the History Channel's "Life After People" and watched it last night. It was interesting stuff, with some decent simulations, but jeez, they sure know how to stretch out a show. Sometimes the History Channel reminds me of the old joke "an emergency method of making copper wire was to toss a penny in between two airline pilots." It was maybe an hour or a 90 minute show stretched to two hours.
I can understand some of it; if you have to pay to create an animation of the Space Needle, you want to get as much mileage out of it as you can. But yawn....
By the way, do they say "kilometerage" in Canada?
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

"an emergency method of making copper wire was to toss a penny in between two airline pilots."
ReplyDeleteIt'd have to be a pre-1986 penny. Now they're copper-plated zinc. Carve one with a pocket knife and you'll see.
The show was a knockoff of an excellent recent book, "The World Without Us"
