Did you know this streams on Amazon Instant Video?
Yeah, I totally whiffed on that. When JL wrote the series was one season too long, I thought he was just being funny since Upload was only one season... Maybe if they'd let me out of the home occasionally my mind would be sharper....
You want them to let you out of the home occasionally?

Really enjoyed it.

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.

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.

Fart: A Documentary is available on Prime. "The history and humor of the fart. A film by Troy Hale"
I'm totally going to watch this.
Hard pass.

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock
"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

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.
