He still is. He still turns up on those ancient alien shows on the Science/Discovery/TLC/Whatever channels and he still sounds like a con artist. And he still refuses to admit the blatant dissemination of misinformation he's engaged in.
I have discovered Ancient Aliens the game. It's actually pretty fun-like a SIMS game in the first part, although it treats Egypt and the Pyramid of Giza as a starting point (a hypnotic recall of past lives kind of thing where Giorgio is at a conference. You build this pyramid by having minions running around putting block by block in place and I am wondering how long you are in this trance that you are building the largest Egyptian pyramid).
was reading on survival shows and pretty much everything in them that they say you need for survival is wrong. Basically, the best way to deal with a survival situation is to not do dumb shit to land in one, along with not fretting about finding food, do not drink your own urine, a bed is more important than a roof and avoid drinking from cactuses if you are not familiar with them.
Reminds me of a conversation I had at Borders or BAM with a sales person:
Me: "What is this?"
Him: "It's a survival bracelet."
Me: "Survival? What do you do with it?"
Him: "It's a rope."
Me: "A rope? What would I do with a rope?"
Him: "Let's say you are in a plane crash and survive, you break off the ends and you have a rope!"
Me: "What would I do with a rope? Hang myself? If I am in a situation where I am stranded in the wilderness, I want a gun! I can at least kill some food with a gun! Seriously, why a rope?"
Him: "Let's say you came upon a cliff, you could climb down the cliff with the rope."
Me: "Do I look like I can get my butt down that rope? The cliff ends someplace. I will just walk until I find where the cliff ends and walk down. Besides, I am in New Jersey. If I wind up stuck anyplace, I am not more than 15 minutes from a Wawa. I will just walk until I find a Wawa."
Him: "You have a point there..."

I just looked this up on the internet and you can buy one from $5.00 up to $28.00. It's a woven cord from 8 or 9 feet long to about 20 feet. I think most dangerous cliffs are more than 20 feet high. Looks more like a fashion statement than a wilderness tool.

Looking forward to my day in court.
I think people watch Bear Grylls run around wearing one. It is one of my top idiotic items to buy. It's like one of these things of a bunch of items you would want on a stranded island. I chose from the choices a raft, a flare gun and an iPod...then I would not be stranded on the island any more. Gotta have the iPod for the boredom you know...

Didn't know what a Wawa was. Looked it up. I guess it's like a Cumbies.

^ Is it what us New Yorkers call a Korean Deli?
^I dunno, do you New Yorkers call a convenience/variety store a Korean deli?
it's a convenience store that started serving cold hoagies and now serves a variety of food-salads, hot hoagies, smoothies, etc.
