After Life - BBC Four
And I am afraid for all you fundies it had bugger all to do about your mythical heaven.
A very interesting programme about decay has just finished on BBC Four. A room was set up in Edinburgh Zoo, divided into a kitchen and a garden, with various food stuffs laid about then the process of decay was followed for two months. The whole thing could be seen by the visitors to the Zoo.
The progamme was presented by Dr George McGavin and followed by him and his team using time-lapse and specialist photography.
There are a total of 3 programmes called After Life: The Strange Science of Decay.
I found the programme completely fascinating and was totally engrossing, even if one or two scenes some people would call gross.

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

Channel 4 had a programme last year where they filmed an elephant being taken apart by scavengers and carrion feeders and decomposing over a few weeks.
I wanted to watch this programme tonight but I don't have BBC 4. I'm sure I'll be able to watch tomorrow through alternative viewing.

I forgot to mention the robot that was progammed by using a piece of slime mould. It had been developed by two guys from Southampton University and was fascinating to watch.

Don't know why that happened just tried my posted link and I got straight there.

Ah, I'll be cremated, quicker to come back as tree leaves and maybe sap.
