Animal Planet, National Geographic and Discovery Channel??

Watch Animal Planet, National Geographic and Discovery Channel!!!
Especially discovery channel, they're airing the best of Discovery 2006.
A MUST SEE program airs on thursdays 9pm on Discovery Channel, i forget what is the title of that show. I think its about some guys trying out all the myths, like whether putting a menthos into a diet coke will cause it to explode and many interesting stuff like that. (channel 8 is coming up with a new program like that too, but i prefer to watch the original and more interestingversion)

Why the sudden interest on this channels? Well, i realised that i could really learn alot from these channels, instead of watching tv dramas, soap operas, sitcoms and cartoons (sorry spongebob). Whats more, you get visuals and audio. Reading the papers is good, you should read it everyday, but what you get from reading "the crash of Flight 93" and watching the documentary film about Flight 93 is totally different. It is not just news, but news with emotions and a certain amount of drama attached to it. You get countles interviews of the victim's family, more details etc, etc.. Plus, it is interesting!! Even if you are just an undisciplined lazy extrovert who hates reading the newspaper. You should really try watching it, its good!!

Anyway, why i decided to substitute watching hours of tv dramas, soap operas, sitcoms and cartoons(sorry Patrick and Squidward) is because i want more knowledge. Yes, i can get them alot through newspapers and stuff, but i can also get knowledge in my slacking time now.




I shall list down some interesting things i came across watching those channels. If you already know these things that i am about to mention, good for you. But if you don't, then enjoy these interesting information!!


Do you know that:

There was actually another plane planned by the terrorists to crash into the whitehouse (i'm not very sure if its the right building) in America on September 11? The passengers in the hijacked planed called home from the plane and were informed that the plane was not in a normal plane hijack, but of a terrorist suicide mission. They fought back with the terrorists and when the plane was just 15 minutes away from the target, the terrorists were forced to crash the plane because the passengers almost broked in to the codpit armed. All the passengers of Flight 93 died as heroes.

400 million people died in airplanes and airports? Either through accidents, hijackers or terrorists.

Coca cola can be used to wash toilet bowls? Becareful of what you drink.

Dogs from K9 units saved about a thousand lives in wars and detecting of bombs?

When USA ended the war with vietnam, they abandoned all the dogs from the K9 unit because the dogs were labelled as "military equipment"?

You can marry your dogs at Japan? Some guy formed his new religion and started a mini church to marry dogs. He is the only high priest in the church.

When you decide to cremate your dog, you can call for a mobile funeral service? You have to pay US$200 though. Some clumsy guy with a dog casket will come to your house, put it in the casket, theb cremate it in his mobile funeral service dog cremating vehicle. Then you get to kneel by the dog's coffin and you all habe to bow down to this picture of a "manga version of Mother Mary holding a newborn puppy in her arms" in respect!!!! Thats super.. erm.. unique... and sorta disgusting too man..



So watch Animal Planet, National Geographic and Discovery Channel today. It definitely has worth in view of time and to an extent, even eternity...
