<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The one on Homeless people was funny just based on how ridiculous and stupid it made a lot of homeless people sound. There was one girl who had 5 kids from five different fathers, and was pregnant with a 6th from a 6th father (who had taken her off the street locked her up and raped her for a few weeks). The funniest part was when they interviewed this guy around age 16, missing teeth, lived under a bridge, his name was Harley; he essentially said he lives on the street because "I don't like any of the rules, I hate how I have to be in by midnight every night". They did show one guy on the street who was actually reading a book, and seemed to have some intelligence, but they didn't go anywhere with that, instead they just went back to focussing on the dumbasses. Now seriously, if someone was watching that documentary, I doubt they would want to donate money or want the government to donate money to help the homeless, because that documentary made them look stupid.

The one called "Rods" was about these little rods that they manage to catch on camera, but are too fast to see with the naked eye, they are rod shaped and thought by some to be a sort of insect. The worlds largest rod was captured on film during the filming of a tornado I believe. Personally I think the whole thing is just some sort of problem that they might have with the film, or the light. This documentary was funny mainly because the people discussing it had their faces darkened out, sometimes their voices altered so that they could avoid embarrassment of course.

There was also another one called "Killer Lakes" which was about lakes which had poisonous natural gasses below them, and every so often they would "explode' and the natural gas would come up and kill all life.

Yeah, documentaries are great =)

The ones I enjoy watching the most usually deal with archaeology, such as the tomb of Emperor Qin in China, possibly the most detailed tomb in the history of mankind (the one with the sculpted lifesize army, the pyramid, and all that stuff); the City of Knossos, Troy, Egypt, etc....</div>
