Me and my Discovery Channel

Actually, it's a repeat telecast of 'The Best of Discovery 2005'.

I watched...

- Sea disasters and how technology can help to increase the survival chance of people stranded at sea when a disaster at sea happens. I learnt... that despite being surrounded by water, a fire at sea is one of the most difficult fires to put out.

- Zero Hour to Nuclear Disaster at Chernobyl. Recount of minutes and seconds to the fateful nuclear disaster. I learnt... it's a disaster brewed by man's weakness and political reasons.

- Rameses: Wrath of God or Man? About a pharoah (I can't make out the English spelling from the Chinese subtitles) and his heir, Egypt and Moses and the Hebrews, the bible and how modern forensics can offer answers different from that in the bible.

- The FBI file of this man who robs banks in the States and escaped to Mexico.

I can't remember the last time I had so much time to sit down and watch TV like now.
