We've "finally" truly identified the root-of-all-evil............pasta.

pretty much, folks might as well sit down and eat an entire cake. Both are essentially sugar after they are metabolized.

which sucks, I try to eat it rarely... and only a small portion when I do. You get use to it

Netflix is boss when it comes to documentaries. If you haven't seen The Imposter, I highly recommend. It's kinda dramatized for a documentary, but it's awesome.

Samsara is very cool to look at, but has shades of bad acid trip to it, so tread lightly.

Love me some documentaries. Haven't seen either but will be added to my queue.

Just once, although it was on mushrooms technically. It was a very long, slightly terrifying day.

That looks so sad, I'm not sure I'm ready for it.

Those "shrooms" are pretty scary sometimes, not doubt about it.

It is sad, but you learn (maybe, I did) a lot about orcas and that alone was fascinating. I hope people watch it and think twice before going to SeaWorld, you may not feel very comfortable doing it.

What gets you is how intelligent/social and emotional orcas are, they actually have a extra part of the brain (limbic system) that neuroscientists are saying makes them the most social/emotional mammal...more than ourselves.

It's sad, but one of the best Docs I've seen.

I saw it and agree with you. Don't approve of any animal captivity.

Some other really good/great docs on Netflix are Happy, Religulous, and Kumare.

Religulous is by Bill Maher and I think people either love him or hate him but if you have an open mind I think everyone can enjoy the film without being offended.

I thought Jiro Dreams of Sushi was really solid too and I'm not much of a sushi person.

I cannot stand Maher. I just want to punch his smug face over and over and over. And for as faithless as he is, the dude will defend Israel forever and it's annoying. Haha sorry, I just cannot stand the guy.

Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World with Albert Brooks is funny if you can ever catch it on HBO.

That is a funny movie, I think I've liked almost everything Albert Brooks has done

This x1,000. Bill Mahrer is one of the most obnoxious, smug, vile, and quite honestly ignorant people in the media/Hollywood. He is repugnant in every way possible. I'd be right behind you in the long line of people wanting to punch him in the face.

I personally do not consider myself a religious person but I would say that there are many things I do have faith in. And think one of the worst things you can do in life is try to destroy someone else's faith, no matter what it may be in. That's what it seems like Maher tries to do, so I really don't have much respect for that, even if I do agree with some of his premises.

Side note-one of my former lab partners that I did research with used to date Maher- maybe she still does. It was kind of shocking when I found out as she is a ton younger him.

I hear he has a thing for younger women. I heard he mostly preferred like high class hookers and playboy girls.

I think that would be a very long line. We would probably get to talk a lot of baseball on the wait.

I am just about over this weather, ready for real spring weather soon. I hate cold weather, its almost baseball season. This is why i don't live north of the red river!

An Idiot Abroad is a must see. On Netflix and is greatness. It's a British show but if needed you can turn on the subtitles just to make sure you don't miss any type of phrases or anything. I recommend it to all.
