Future History
« on: January 25, 2008, 12:37:32 AM »
The History channel is going above and beyond. . . us.

Lately, there seems to be a large number of new shows on The History Channel dealing with how we as humans are going to kill ourselves and what it will be like afterwards. Shows like 'Life After People' seem to infer that the History channel wants to make sure and document the earth after we are all dead or done.

Others include 'Crude' which seems to be geared towards our addiction to fossil fuels and how it could kill us. Even 'Gangland' can leave viewers anxious seeing how many gang members are in the military how that relates back to voilence in the streets of the U.S.

Personally, I think The History Channel is doing a good job documenting history after none of us are here to see it. Thoughts?

Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

I like it better as the Future Channel than the Nostradamus Channel.

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

Aliens probably think that horrible disasters and wars are the only things to happen on this planet.
