It aint over no more!

I love the history channel...granted it's gotten about 80% military....planes, tanks...blah blah blah....but for the most part, it's been a great medium for where this world has come from. They've gotten quite tech savvy as well, using digital images to animate what happened at battles, give us a glimpse of what things may or may not have looked like. Quite cool.

HOWEVER what the hell do aliens and doomsday have to do with the Roman Empire, Queen Victoria, and the Cuban Missile Crisis??? Regularly they have programs that discuss the reality/myth of aliens, and ufo's. Stories of the Mayan calender dictating the end of the world on 12/12/2012, or something like that.....Nostradamus's' prophecies of the end of days...etc. etc. etc. I'm so tired of it. I'm sad this has become the new priority of the History Channel. I much preferred learning the location of Ghandi's underwear and Nepolian's high soled boots.
