Ah yes! Cracked.com. That stalwart bastion of Natural History information and knowledge. I'm glad they are finally taking their rightful place as Sifters goto guys in this dept over BBC and Nat Geo.

Timtoner, you Sir, have made my day!

als-that-are-turning-to-dark-side.html It's what happens when you severely curtail their historical range.

From what I have read, the Atlantic Bluefin tuna is one of the most overfished and threatened species of fish on Earth.
"Thanks to 4 decades of overfishing, it has been driven to just 3% of its 1960 or pre-longlining abundance - a decline of 97%"

Traditions (however recent they may be...) are great, but we now have the knowledge to make informed decisions about these practices. To be honest, I am surprised that Nat Geo takes such a tabloid approach to mans'-struggle-against-uch-a-formidable-opponent...

If you're filming a nature documentary then let nature unfold by it's natural course.

But if it's just some guy with a handycam watching the neighbours domestic house cat, who doesn't know better get bitten rather than helping, because he thinks it will be cool on the tubes - then that guy is a dick. This isn't nature, it's just him choosing to watch because 'hey, it's not my cat'.>> ^GDGD:

Nature is nature? Some times it is on Nat. Geo. and some times it is in some rural back yard.

Camera man's a pretty sick f&%k if you ask me, even if it's not your cat. Cruel to just watch to see if it gets bitten, even if it is non venomous.
Type of person who would just watch the cat in the road and film it getting run over.

...And finally, the camera man didn't seem too concerned, which leads me to believe that it was non-venomous.
Unless it wasn't his cat...

Stupid Nat-Geo. That sucks.

all i remember reading about FARC in a nat. geo article is that they insist on prostitutes being disease tested before working towns... enforced? who knows... good idea? sometimes you find them in the jungle (along with medicines you can steal and patent).

even with their leadrs getting killed, these guys are still goin strong... must be in someones interest, or not interesting enough to the watchers in charge... drugs involved.. definitely.. CIA subversion... probably.. tee hee

India may just fall apart without strong unity.

Perhaps yet another Putin-to-be in India?

Btw, journeyman pictures is da shitt. Almot like neo-nat geo

So is Nat Geo saying that Peter Parker could beat up Bruce Wayne then?

Surprisingly downvote worthy. Is Nat Geo becoming the new Hitlery Channel?
