Disc sci has been going down the tubes too. Seems like 90% is just talking about how the talest buildings in the world are built or something. What happened to the quality science content where you could scarcely turn on the science channel without seeing a major player like Michio Kaku, or Stephan Hawking, or the great documentaries on the major discoveries of the past and how they tie into modern life. (Granted to some degree it seems to be getting better again)

Another decent one is History International which has somehow managed to remain largely free of the taint affecting discovery and history.
Hmm, I really wish I had a signature...

Unfortunately you do have apoint. Discovery Science used to be wall to wall mind blowing programs even up 'til two months ago. History has been pretty much shit for a year.

Likely the Burj Dubai, which I believe it 168 stories tall.

Yeh man, Redbacks ,Trapdoors, Funnel Webs.........aaaggghhhhh!Now i'm arachnophobic.
I'll save you! *grabs a jar and a piece of paper* I'm the spider-catcher in my house. Even the evil ones get put outside and remain unharmed. :)
Don't forget the huntsman spiders; they are huge, fast and jumpy but harmless. *shows everyone the jar with the Huntsman spider in it* Look how ugly and cute it is! I also have a collection of dead bugs. :mrgreen:

Oh and game censorship... Deus Ex lets you kill children if you want to. It lets you take drugs, drink alcohol and smoke. Why wasn't any of that an issue with censorship? O_o

Thanks Tek. Huntsman are ugly but at least they keep the roaches down(i believe).yes it's crazy with the censorship.Sell a game that adults can enjoy with proof of age I.D.
Edit: Maybe some group with a beef on certain game content lobby the people in charge.For crying out loud the kids probably see more violence watching cartoons.And lastly, my favourite,the ones who say that games are responsible for antisocial or violent behaviour.It's been my experience that the 'hardened gamers' seem to be well adjusted people.
