Anyone watch this on the History Channel tonight?

I often found it interesting, but in the end, it didn't really solve shit. I could've done without the frantic driving around town receiving phone calls from Meltzer as if they were in the next National Treasure sequel. May watch it again for the interesting conspiratorial information, but probably not for the somewhat unsatisfying conclusion. I'll continue to read his books though.

I always think about comics whenever I order one of his novels for the library.

Do you mean like "Mother Goose & Grimm" or like Henny Youngman? And, pray tell, what do you think about when you order comics? (Keep it clean.)

When I order comics I think: "Junior Fiction Graphic Novel section, or Young Adult?"

Also: "Hope the kids like this."

Never heard of it. Whats the jist. Worth finding a replay?

It's a 10-part series, I think, of history mysteries. In the first show, his team searched for the missing cornerstone of the White House, which could be just a cornerstone, or it could be hollow with special things placed there by the Masons. Apparently, even past presidents have had it searched for, but it was never found. As I said, all the conspiratorial stuff was rather interesting, but in the end, they never found it, and it was determined that the cornerstone was still right where the Masons put it, somewhere deep in the foundation in one corner or another.

This is the synopsis of this week's show (Thursday):
"The team investigates the secret presidential codes of Thomas Jefferson and how they may be partially responsible for the death of one of the world's greatest explorers, Meriwether Lewis, of Lewis and Clark fame. Meltzer discovers that although the Lewis family has been working for 15 years to exhume his body, the National Parks is preventing the exhumation. This episode attempts to answer why the federal government would want to keep the body buried against the family's wishes and what really happened to the man who more than 200 years after his death remains our most iconic explorer."

It's on the History Channel, and you can watch the first episode on its website.

I love history, but History Channel runs so much of this sort of silliness I don't watch it all that much.

History is full of silliness.

Well yes, that's true too.
