I can't get through an episode of Horizon without leaving the room muttering under my breath about Pseudo Science, Stupid camera angles and Sensationalism. Is it just me? Nick (Grumpy old man )

When that series started, you had some very nice looks at fascinating elements of our modern-day infrastructures -- but they seem to have run out of truly "marvelous" topics, and now they're just reaching. For example, a few of their latest topics have been cement, gasoline and basements. I wouldn't be surprised if their next topic turned out to be cow dung. It was a good show, but I think they need to retire the show and move on... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
