    @TheLostVikings R.O.A.C.H.: Also amazed, seems like this guy would get trampled in a stampede of termites, and he is the Meg Griffin of superheroes... but he might have other talents too. I imagine it has oily skin and probably tastes like cauliflower and lima beans to the insects. Just a guess, google told me nothing. #bbclife

    My fiancee has speculated, and I'm inclined to agree, that extra footage goes into making their series "Walk on the Wild Side," which is quite hilarious. #bbclife

    Planet Earth was what made my upgrade to my current HDTV (and what made me buy a PS3 over Xbox - so I could watch it on Blu-Ray) - guess its time to go shopping again... #bbclife

    @Hiphopopotamus: Planet Earth has to be one of the most beautiful HD documentaries to date. These poeple really get how to use the technology and should defiantly be rewarded and encoraged.

    Unfortunately I end up filling my DVR up with stuff I don't want to delete every time they air something like this on Discovery HD... #bbclife

    @soulfinger: We have a call of Shenanigans! Everyone please assemble back here in five minutes with your brooms to hear my verdict! BTW soulfinger, the UK's slander laws are different than the US, and you could very well get sued for your comment. In the UK, you will have to prove your comment is correct, or you will lose. Bear in mind my ruling has no effect and is not admissible in the UK Parliament of Justice.
