January 10, 2013 Lurking below the depths you can find such creatures as a giant squid as large as 50 feet-long. These are rarely seen by humans because of the depth in which they live. This video was filmed more than 3,000 feet deep in the ocean.
December 3, 2012 The countdown is on...
November 2, 2012 The talk of "Doomsday" and "The End of the World" is certainly on the rise as we approach December 21, 2012. I don't think the Earth will cease to exist, but I think it's possible that it could be the end of life as we know it. Whether or not the human race will be around following a doomsday event is a question that I'd rather not know the answer to.
October 23, 2012 When I went back to the Washington D.C. area for my grandmother's funeral last weekend, a good friend of the family invited me to tour his work facility. How do you turn down a chance to go inside the Discovery Networks? Well, you don't! Cory and I had a video editing class together at Fenton High School. Since then, he has gone on to be an editing wizard for the Discovery Channel and its sister networks.
October 8, 2012 Did you see this last night? It was the season premier of 'Curiosity'. They crashed a International Boeing 727 just to see what happens. Watch the view from a passengers perspective.
It was a debate that had raged since 'Titanic' hit theaters 25 years ago: did Rose leave Jack to die by not letting him up on the board as they floated in the ocean. James Cameron maintains that the board would have only been big enough for one of them and Jack died valiantly, letting Rose live. Others argue that they could have at least tried to fit work it so both of them could have survived. But would it have actually worked? 'Mythbusters' to the rescue!
September 23, 2012 It's official the back of the plane is the safest place to be during a crash. These are the dramatic images of a passenger jet being deliberately smashed into the ground as experts try to recreate what happens to an aircraft and all those on board in an air disaster.
Understandably, all TV networks have to adapt to keep pace with a changing landscape. Just a few short years ago, we relied on The History Channel for educational programming rather than extra-terrestrial conspiracy theorists and original series, and now it seems that the notoriously stagnant CNN is looking to shake up its image in the coming years as well. Just what do they have in mind, and who might be the new face of the network?
For those of you who haven’t heard of ‘Storm Chasers,’ it was a documentary reality television series on the Discovery Channel. Unfortunately for fans, this exhilarating show was cancelled earlier this year. Luckily, the internet provides us the opportunity to watch some of the craziest clips from the show.
July 1, 2012 Remember when TLC called itself 'The Learning Channel'?
Remember when Jon, Kate, and their eight booger eaters were the biggest freaks on TV?
The network is giving new meaning to 'freak' with this edition of 'Strange Sex', which spotlights Jeff, and his addiction to breast milk.
June 19, 2012 Meet Ryan Stock, he is a Canadian based TV stunt man who has a show on the Discovery Channel called 'Guinea Pig'. Ryan drilled a 4.5-inch drill bit into his nose. That makes him a world record holder according to http://recordsetter.com.
I bet you would like too see him do that wouldn't you?
You can after the jump.
March 21, 2012 Yesterday morning at 1:14am, winter officially ended making today, March 21st, the first full day of spring. According to many ancient civilizations, the world will come to an end in just nine months.
If you watch a lot of Discovery Channel and NatGeo, you've probably seen the documentaries about the different types of events that would forever change life as we know it, including the possibility of planetary extinction.
