The lost jewels of Marie Antoinette are buried under Oak Island, too!!!
Like WOW!!!
So there's the Ark of the Covenant, the original pages of all Shakespeare's work (in his own hand), the payroll of the entire British army, the Templars' gold, and the treasure from at least twenty-three pirates buried there!
The Lagina* brothers are going to be SO RICH!!!!
God, I love that show!

Um, you have actually provided more proof to your claim than most of the idiots researchers do.

but the curse? neither brother wants to draw the short straw on being #7
The templars/pirates/crusaders/... armed with the best and latest in shovels, hammers, maybe even a slide rule using only manual labor that have outwitted today's drilling machines, ground penetrating radar, sonar, computes, scuba divers and even satellite imagery for something.
Go figure, our tech and powerful machines are just not up for matching the work that was acheived with hand tools centuries before.

Or ...
... and this is just pure conjecture, based on having never watched an episode ...
... it's a load of male cow effluent designed to make a killing on TV?

But where did this "legend" that seven have to die come from?
That's what I like about it. It's like an inward-driven astronomy, where people are making random guesses and silly assumptions based on a 3D web of previous silly assumptions and made-up cr@p, and immediately declaring their completely stupid ideas to be absolute fact -- all the while drawing funds from people they've managed to convince that they're experts.
"Seven people have to die!", for example.
Says who?
Who made that cr@p up, which is now being banged out at least once per show as if it's an absolute fact, used to back up yet further layers of cr@p?
My advice to anyone who's never watched the show: Don't start; it's too hopelessly addictive -- Just say No to O!

<sarc> Ah, but they didn't use hand tools; the aliens (who also abducted Elvis) did the work for them. </sarc>
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Have not watched it for a couple of weeks. Has anything happened yet? Have the Vagina brothers wasted enough of their own/the production companies money? Has anything tangible been found? I wish they'd just go straight down through the money pit and see what is there instead of pissing about everywhere else. Find the water ingress ports and block them off to drain the pit - or is that too obvious? Not tenable?

Oh, it's been really exciting!
They've found at least three bits of wood! (in a forest.)
And half an ounce of coconut husk, on the beach, that some merchant ship had obviously dumped overboard which is an obvious indicator that a huge amount of treasure is buried under the island!
And a really HUGE discovery was that they found one of the tunnels that someone else had dug!
Could this mean that they're really close to finding the lost library of Alexandria! Or even Atlantis!*
I'm on the edge of my seat, here, waiting for the next episode!
Actually, I'm quite worried that they might not know how water works -- i.e. that it can find its way through even the tiniest cracks in rock, and doesn't need a complicated structure of man-made sluices to get from one place to another.
* For the uninitiated: A good fifth of their airtime is spent repeating questions like that.

I assumed that wasn't a real show, just fake promos designed to make me giggle during Forged in Fire commercial breaks.

I don't think it would be easy to make a spoof of the show that's as hilarious as the show itself.

I might need to have a look then.
Thanks!

Watch the whole thing from the first episode of the first series, though.
I mean, what makes you so special that you should suffer less than the rest of us?

"Just finish your peas, dear ... and I won't" [^]
When I was a kid the evil monkeys in "Oz" gave me the willies for months, but this thing ...Quote: Raibert describes Handle as an “experiment in combining wheels with legs, with a very dynamic system that is balancing itself all the time and has a lot of knowledge of how to throw its weight around.” He adds that using wheels is more efficient than legs, although there’s obviously a trade-off in terms of maneuvering over uneven ground. “This is the debut presentation of what I think will be a nightmare-inducing robot,” says Raibert:
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

last time the world went to war, the Germans and Japanese lost (and a few allies were smacked down too).
Next time the world goes to war, the world will loose.
(Is that a draw then?)

I've always said that we (Catalans/Spaniards) are far from any interesting place so we are relatively safe...
Nowadays we are not safe anywhere...
Last week I read something like "this is the worst moment in humankind history as we have the power to destroy the world but not the capability to leave it".
No idea who said that, but seems from Hawkins (or from Sheldon) but it looks mostly right...
But let's be optimistic and hope war will not happen at least the next 200 years... I think this will be OK for most of the guys/girls here no way we will live that long drinking coffee and programming...

Marvel at the APOD's posted by R. Giskard Reventlov, and realize how insignificant our existence really is.
Dammit, now I don't feel like getting up tomorrow, what difference would it make?

Well, what would be left could only loosely be called "world", so I guess loose works too in this case!
