And yet the channel is called History... but I guess that's as apt as the Sci-Fi/SyFy channel that tries to justify showing mixed martial arts tournaments and ridiculous 'reality' shows.

There needs to be a dedicated Fortean Channel, where these shows can sit comfortably.

Ancient Aliens and the damn Bigfoot hunters. One posits that humans apparently couldn't take a crap without alien help and in the other any noise in the woods, at all, is a Sasquatch. Yeah, that picture of a hiker with a backpack is obviously an undiscovered creature.

I used to like this stuff in small doses but hey Ancient Aliens claimed that the Washington Monument(!) was built with alien help. Grumble, grumble, grumble.

Oh, yeah. What IS up with that guy's hair? Must be the damn alien hairstylists.

To me he looked like a time-lost 70's porn star (it probably didn't help that earlier in the day I'd watched part of an unfunny horror-comedy with Ron Jeremy in the cast and I just kept flashing back to that!)

Ancient Aliens.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm torn by these sort of shows - the journalist in me mocks what passes for journalism, while the gamer loves the wild material thrown up and the romantic optimist in me wants it all to be true... if only there were real evidence, not the wishful thinking and leaps of faith that pass for so-called proof ;)

Just curious, what was the name of the show, Tim? I love this kind of Fortean stuff!

Okay then, Einstein is often misquoted as saying that God plays dice with the universe and master fact-checker Erich von Däniken claims gods were really ancient astronauts - ipso facto the Derinkuyu Underground City was built by cosmic roleplayers as the site for the ultimate old-school megadungeon LARP (my theory holds as much water as any presented in the History Channel documentary) ;)

It even has eleven levels! Perfect for all of your old-school megadungeon gaming!
