    You want them to let you out of the home occasionally?

        Still got one episode left, but I've been enjoying Upload. I'm sure it will seem goofy in 10 years, but the future tech is kinda fun.
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          The First World War

          I watched the first episode (until falling asleep). Pretty interesting, in spite of how tired I was.

          The Balkan states apparently didn't like how old-school Emperor/King Franz Joseph I was. So, in protest, they assassinate the heir to the throne, who, unbeknownst to them, planned to run things much differently that his uncle did. Then, with Archduke Franz Ferdinand dead, Franz Joseph goes old-school on the Balkans in retribution. Franz Joseph died about two and a half years later. Had the Serb revolutionaries been more patient, things might have markedly improved under Ferdinand.

                    I learned from the fart documentary that the oldest written joke in the world is a fart joke. It’s written 4000 years ago in ancient Sumerian. There are also ancient Japanese texts that discuss farting. The Dalai Lama even told a fart joke on TV.

                          So, the fart documentary was sort of interesting, but not really worth a watch. I expected a good deal of fart humor and such, but they focused way too much time and attention on Mr. Methane, a professional flatulist.

                          I did like the discussion with groups of men and women to get their different takes on farting. And I thought the historical information about the subject was interesting. But overall, I can't recommend this documentary. It would have been better if it had much more science, more history, more discussion about cultural norms, and much less Mr. Methane.

                            Completely agree with you on this. This documentary could have been so much better. The author of the books sounded like he had a wealth of information, but didn't share that much. Also, we get it, people love a good fart joke, men and women look at farting differently, and kids REALLY think farting is funny, but I could do with more of the history of farting. They would dance around it like saying, "in some cultures you would be killed if you farted in front of the wrong people". Wow! That's cool, but when a did this happen and to whom. Soft pass.

                              Exactly! Delving into things like that would have been so much more interesting. More of that and less of Phartman comics and Mr. Methane.

                                I thought it would be a biopic along the lines of bohemian rhapsody.

                                It was not a biopic along the lines of bohemian rhapsody.

                                Fun show though. Certainly unique.
