Sure, give ME the one with all the monsters

Yesterday, I went with bethje to see her newborn baby cousin Samantha. That night, we watched the episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit! about love and romance. For some reason, it wasn't available On Demand back when it was new, but it is now. I thought it was pretty good, although I think there are more monogamous animals than the show said there were. I believe it only mentioned vultures and tapeworms, but I think that geese also mate for life, and I'm pretty sure there are other species that fit that qualification. The episode made fun of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus and The Rules, which was cool. (Incidentally, I just recently found out that the title of the former book refers to the fact that the male and female symbols are the same as those for Mars and Venus, respectively. At least I assume that's where the title came from. That's the kind of thing you'd think I would know. I DID know that the symbol for Venus is a hand mirror, which makes it kind of sexist when also made to apply to the entire female gender.) I'm hoping I'll be able to see the Bullshit! episode on the Bible, since I was looking forward to that one (as I'm sure you could have guessed, based on past entries {g}), and it also wasn't up On Demand before.

We also saw part of Feardotcom, which Beth had already watched and hated. I can't say that I liked it any better than she did. Even the scenery and imagery came off as tacky. I'm sure they were trying to go for a creepy, run-down kind of look, but it ended up looking kind of cheap and bad-music-video-ish.
