Hi.  New girl here, Nicole.  Nice to meet you.

Kido - 2010-08-10 1:20 PM

you barely watch TV and THAT'S what you selected?

I'm sad.  No wonder you don't watch much...

Sadly, I agree.  I am not exactly a lab-based scientist, but I must say, while I love the show and find it very entertaining, I take their tests with a grain of salt.  I wouldn't have any problem with them if they came out and said "look, here are the factors we didn't take into account" and went from there.  

As it is, though, it's entertainment.  Not a hardcore science show.

Hey Nicole....I'm Aidana aka Scooter

trinnas - 2010-08-10 1:38 PM

that's just the last stuff I watched I do tend to like the historical programs.

Mythbusters drives me crazy with their lack of appropriate controls. 

Nicole83 - 2010-08-10 1:40 PM

Not exactly historically accurate, but both the series "The Tudors" and "Sparticus" on Showetime (I think) were interesting depictions of historic events during their respective time periods.

Plus Sparticus has lots of full frontal male nudity, so you really can't go wrong there.

Kido - 2010-08-10 1:33 PM

it's a TV show debunking myths and fables.  Not a lab.

Hi Aidana.

trinnas - 2010-08-10 1:41 PM

Actually I meant history channel type stuff.  Particularly ancient history and battles and such.

Nicole83 - 2010-08-10 12:21 PM Scarfing down my lunch and popping in to say hi.

Note to self: if you plan on swimming during your lunch break, you must pack a swimsuit.  Public pools frown on nudity.  Especially if you plan on sporting an orange swim cap and goggles without a a swimmy suit.

Artemis - 2010-08-10 10:41 AM

Yes, but there are ways I could easily disprove their experiments or change them to make them work.  They present it like a lab and as scientific, but it's not.

Kido - 2010-08-10 1:42 PM

There is a lot of odds and ends I like to watch as well.  Almost all history and engineering.

I'm fond of the military history and documentaries on guns/tanks/plains/etc (old and new)...  All the war documentaries are terribly interesting.

Nicole83 - 2010-08-10 1:43 PM

Ah well, then ignore my soft core porn with a little bit of history mixed in suggestions.

LockOut - 2010-08-10 1:44 PM

There's a show on Spike called "The Greatest Warrior" or something like that, that I make a point of watching whenever I see it on.  They basically take 2 groups of people (tribes, police forces, militias, etc), and figure out who would beat who.  The one that I saw was the CIA vs. the KGB, but I also know they've done, for example, Genghis Khan's army vs. a native tribe.  Pretty cool stuff! 

trinnas - 2010-08-10 1:45 PM

I may have to check them out sometime but I also don't get the movie channels,  With the amount I watch TV it's not really something I feel the need to spend money on.  Besides if I can't touch it why watch it???

jford2309 - 2010-08-10 1:45 PM Whooo Hooo!

Hello!

Nicole83 - 2010-08-10 12:48 PM

You could always rent it on dvd from netflix.

And I agree.  Some of these guys have the most amazing bodies I've ever seen.  I want to run my tongue over their abs just to see how it feels.  Alas, licking my TV screen does not have the same effect.

brycoy - 2010-08-10 1:45 PM ultimate dorky, but i like monster quest and ufo stuff.  not sure what to believe, but i love to hear them present their case

Kido - 2010-08-10 1:43 PM

but there is a lot of colors and movement.  I like it...

Nicole83 - 2010-08-10 12:50 PM

I like UFO stuff too.  I think it's really narrowminded to believe that we are the only intelligent species in the entire universe and think eventually we will prove otherwise.  Maybe not in my lifetime, but eventually.

That said, I like the different theories and listening to the obvious wack-os talk about it too.  Good clean entertainment.

GNO93 - 2010-08-10 1:49 PM

again, you need the swim cap and goggles.
