Yeah, but "history" just isn't sexy most of the time. For example, not a single sexy babe was involved in the Battle of Midway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"We Make History" != "We Learn, Teach, Or Know Fuck-all About History"

Street addresses in Queens are freaky.
I was looking on Google Maps, and 87th St and 87th Rd in Jamaica are right next to each other!
And there's an 87th Drive, too!

I advocate a new truth in advertising law! That would force the "History Channel" to either change its motto to Jessica's suggestion or change their name to the "Wouldn't This Be AWESOME If Only It Weren't Utter Bullshit Channel".

I vote the latter. Changing your brand name to suit your crappy content is how we wound up with SyFy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You mean 87th Ave. I was going to mention that, too -- Roads are smaller streets between Avenues, as are Drives. It works.

SyFy: I love this bit from the TVWeek.com article on the name change
“What we love about this is we hopefully get the best of both worlds,” Mr. Howe said. “We’ll get the heritage and the track record of success, and we’ll build off of that to build a broader, more open and accessible and relatable andhuman-friendly brand.” (emphasis mine)
It's not just a dumbfuck marketing move, in other words. Read between the lines, people: "SyFy" is some kind of plan to flush out the Cylons!!
What are you, toaster-lovers?! Get with the human program!
SyFy! SYFY!!

I think this is just a cover, so people won't investigate the rumors about the SyFy Channel executives and their nonstop Cylon orgies.
