As tim and I settled onto the couch this evening we flipped through the channels and were pleasantly surprised to find there were actually some really great shows on tonight...
1. Planet Earth - the BBC/discovery channel show that is beautifully filmed showing different animals/landscapes/nature of our world.
2. There was a really cool show on PBS about dogs and where they come from... some scientist guy has a theory that all dogs originate from one species that started somewhere in east asia... I guess the actual location is yet to be known and they are doing research on it.
3. On 60 minutes they were talking about "CERN" - a group of scientists who are working with a huge machine (the large hadron collider) to study particles and all sorts of things that are way above my head. You may have heard of this as "the machine that might cause a black hole that will swallow the earth" (which, of course, it didn't do). It's really mind blowing and amazing to think of the possibilities that these people could come up with... I mean, I think they even mentioned the words "teleportation" and "alternate universes"! wow! It also turns out that Tim's company has tested some metal samples for these guys.. so in a tiny, small way.. Tim has had his hand in all of this which is sort of exciting.. at least for me, being married to him and all. I told tim.. that's the thing about dying that I think sucks... not being around to witness all of these amazing advances and wonderful things that will be happening.
you can watch the CERN video here: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4484053n
honestly, if it wasn't for project runway and jon and kate plus eight (my two guilty pleasures) I would have no need for cable tv.
