that's a good show. I learned how to calculate compound interest in my head watching that show.

I like TV. I don't like the dumb stuff, but I might watch it anyway, just to try to understand what the big fuggin deal is. Once I get sick of it, I'll surf around and often land on some discovery channel or a movie or something.
it's semi-off topic, but at school today in art class, I somehow get into an argument with the guy that sits next to me about whether cucumber was a fruit or vegetable. I was the ONLY PERSON in that class who knew it was a fruit, and I explained in the most scientific way I could to them, but they didn't give up. I need to give it a rest, but people seriously shouldn't argue about something they know nothing about. Anyway, these people need to seriously watch some nature documentaries.

Kaz, your young mind needs to be molded into a sharp instrument! Reality TV such as "Joe Millionare" (Cool name by the way) is not good for the brain! If you must watch TV, choose stations or shows that actually TEACH you something. TLC, Discovery, History and the Science channel are great sources of knowledge!
The remote control is like "GOD", it has the power to change things!!
It's mind's like yours that will be our future!!
Fill it with things that are useful, not with things that are useless!!
yeah, you're right - I find myself watching PBS more often than not these days - Nova, TOH, that kind of thing - when I need a fix. I just stick to basic cable - no need for the premium cable channels to fill the void. I have to admit that I'm addicted to the Simpsons - good thing that it's on 24/7/365 on one channel or another. I'm a closet Survivor fan, too...I can't shake it....

Well, I guess Survivor isn't as bad. Well maybe the first two doo dads. But everything else now is a rip off of that.
So, yeah...
So, yeah...
But it's always in the Vegetable section of the Fruit & Veg Market.Originally posted by Kaz
A cucumber's a fruit?
Wait a sec...seeds on inside.......wow. It is a fruit.
Oh well.
The scientific definition of fruit is "anythng that tastes sweet and yummy".
The Scientific definition of a Vegetable is "anything a child won't eat until they're older when somehow can't get enough of the stuff"
