LOL - they credited Isaac Newton with "inventing modern science". I was half-expecting them to say he invented gravity.

I liked it how they mentioned Erasmus Darwin, the grand dad of Charles, because often, the success of a person has it's roots, with the grandparents, and not just mom and dad.

grandparents, posess more wisdom and time, than the parents, who have to work all day, so they can provide.

I really hope my dad doesn't try to impart his wisdom too heavily on my daughter. Luckily it's just skype nowadays and me a single dad... Just surround them with intelligent people osmosis will do the rest.

I'll check out the show we only have online tv here I refuse to have the idiot box in my house

"the beauty of maps"

probably only interesting for some of, the older members,

but some people (me included) just go ape shit, regarding old books and maps.

watching the past, we can understand the future.

go to 43.00 right away if you have not a lot of time, as from there onwards the topic is a sky burial.

nice convolution of topics around people living in the mountains, I recommend it.

will be up for only 4 more day's, no ads!!
