So... discovery channel loves to run TV shows about roughnecks doing roughneck things. And they do a fine job of it.
Deadliest catch was an old favorite of mine; it's a documentary type series about crab fisherman in the arctic, and is very addictive to watch.
Last night, I watched a new show of theirs (in a rare moment of not sciencing) called Gold Rush. It's awesome. Basically, a bunch of unemployed men from Oregon got sick of sitting around being unemployed. So they sold all their stuff to raise $100 K, and used that to buy a couple of old backhoes, drove up to Alaska, and started digging for gold. Of course, none of them know anything about mining.
Anyhow, great show, highly recommended for those non-sciencing times.
