History Mystery

The History Chanel is a great way to learn some pretty boring stuff like World War II, Hitler's reign, and The Great Depression. However, if you look closer into what shows are on The History Chanel, you can possibly find some really cool stuff.

If the only channel in the world was THC, Tyler would be in heaven and would probably be as smart as a history major. He was the one to introduce me to the channel and the ups and downs of it all. Before, I though THC was all about war airplanes, D-day and FDR. However, what I didn't know was that it is a lot scarier than that....way scarier.

For some reason, these mysterious shows suddenly pop up on our DVR. Shows like Modern Marvels and Gangland. Although I have never actually caught him, Tyler must be flipping through the guide to find these creepy shows. When he records Modern Marvels, it's usually about modern day pirates or advanced weapons of war. Let me just tell you, I will NEVER go on a cruise to anywhere tropical like the Bahama's or Mexico because of pirates. Don't believe me? Look it up.

Also, he has been trying to get me to watch this other show he recorded off of THC ; In The World Of Jack the Ripper. Yeah. Freakin. Right. I have a hard enough time trusting the male workers at Wal-mart that gather the baskets. If I watched this, I know it would totally mess me up for at least two weeks...However scary the shows above sound, nothing compares to what *I* recorded off of THC.

One Sunday, I stumbled across a cool show called MonsterQuest. I liked it because it was my kind of creepy; unexplained mysteries. I have only watched three. One was about Sasquatch, giant fish that eat small children and RODS! Yes, that's right, rods. What are rods, you might ask? Rods are creatures that fly so fast through the air, they are invisible to the naked eye. What do they look like? You guessed it, rods with creepy membrane-like strips of wings. The only reason they have been discovered is purely by mistake of filming at the right time, concluding that there are a lot more flying around that we don't discover.

I know what you are thinking, this is ridiculous that creatures could fly so fast, we can't see them except on film. I know, I thought that too but as the show progressed it got more and more creepy. They kept on showing footage over and over and over again of these mysterious like creatures. Finally I had to turn the show off. Partly because it was time for bed and partly because I couldn't stand anymore!

Going to bed that night was the worse. These rod thingies had really creeped me out and it was only right before I went to bed, did I turn off all the lights. You better believe I was joined at the hip with Tyler that night trying to concentrate on anything except RODS!!!! Our conversation went as follows:

Me:....Tyler....I'm scared

Tyler: That show was so stupid, I fell asleep

Me: I know, but still....Gimme something to think about.

Tyler: RODS!!!!!

As I relayed my rod fear with my sister DaNelle, I realized how ridiculous it sounded and we ended up laughing about the whole thing. It didn't help much when I showed her this clip

It must have been the other half of my infinished show.I fretted about it for nothing! Still....watch out for rods.....
