Nova

You might want to call this one an aftershock from Science Theme Week and the PBS post. Nova has been on PBS for like 300 years or so, but it's still totally awesome, at least most of the time. It's a show about history or science or just about anything that fills my need for interesting diversion.

Just recently watched an episode about arctic dinosaurs that I saw a bit of that suggesting that there was paleontological proof dinosaurs were much more adaptable to temperature than is conventionally though. There was also something about differing opinions regarding whether or not dinosaurs were coldblooded in the same manner that contemporary reptiles are. You actually have to think to get it.

Also there was another show that explored the Inca rebellion in the New World using forensic analysis on some remains found on an old battleground. Another cool one explored the history of the exploration of Absolute Zero. A few years ago there was also a show about the recreation of a historic Roman bath. That one was absolutely awesome, but might have been better viewed from a jacuzzi (see previous post).

BTW, in Nashville today. One more stop in my tour of the midwest.
