Planet Earth

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Anyone watch this Wildlife documentary on BBC1 last night? Truly humbling.

For my fave bit select 'Great White Predator' under 'Programmes - 55 clips'. Amazing.

Had it on in the background whilst doing other stuff. Quite impressed by what I saw, though. The wolf chasing the... uhm, I can't remember what it was chasing - beautiful stuff. Looked quite unreal in a lot of ways.

Gotta wonder how much noise that chopper made, though... observe without affecting, that sorta thing...
Grrr. Argh.

I'm having a hard time navigating the site, some of the clips it would appear as if you have to be a member to watch, however.

EDIT: Ah, yes.

British IP's that would probably be paying the broadcasting-fee only, lads. :lurk:

I saw the trailer however, and it looked awe-inspiring indeed. I saw a baby-panda! :D
