The 350th Post

Television has opened a new world for me. In as much as I would love to blog and take pictures, read and even scrap, I always find time to stay glued to the boob tube. Because I am a couch potato, I have learned a lot of really interesting information. Like, did you know that electric current came about during the "Current Wars" between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla? Betcha you didn't know that Nikola Telsa invented AC (alternate current) which angered Thomas Edison who had invented DC (direct current). Tesla is one who is not really known to most people. Of course if you played the game Command & Conquer, you would recognize the Tesla Coil named after Nikola Tesla, the inventor.

How about knowing the beginnings of the vampire? We all know that Bram Stoker wrote the novel Dracula in 1897 which started the modern day vampire. However, there IS a person who inspired this novel and they called him Vlad the Impaler. Records show that he impaled his enemies and victims (women and children) when he defeated them and it is from this person that the Dracula was born.

I guess this proves that I do love watching The History Channel. I could just go on for days and days. They do feature a variety of subjects that really interest me like The Universe, Modern Marvels, Tech and others. My favorite however, has got to be Cities of the Underworld with Don Wildman where he explores the worlds greatest cities underground. Pretty interesting, huh? Well, I thought so.

Yes, I'm blabbing. It's just that this entry marks my 350th (yes!) post and I thought I would write about random things that are on my mind right now.

I know this sounds so weird but I do love obscure information that everyone thinks is useless. I'm not that good when it comes to trivia, though. But I'd like to think that I can converse with different people about a wide variety of topics. So, what is your favorite show? Share them here!
