Hmmm. I found several interesting things on television last night. Maine Public
Television, for instance, had:

 8:00 PM QUEST: INVESTIGATING OUR WORLD Winter

  For plants and animals that don't migrate south for the winter, a lot of
preparation goes into getting ready for the cold months. But it takes more than
that to make it through the long, frigid winters. Creating their own anti-freeze
and directing blood flow are just two of the amazing adaptations the natural
world has come up with that are explored on this episode. Viewers learn what
many plants and animals know that humans do not.

9:00 PM NOVA Ancient Creature of the Deep The most famous "living fossil" is the
Coelacanth, a huge primitive fish once thought to have died out before the
dinosaurs. NOVA tells the amazing story of its rediscovery in 1938, how live
specimens were captured on video and how new colonies of the ancient fish have
recently been found, raising hopes for its continuing survival.

10:00 PM JOURNEY OF MAN Today, some six billion people are spread across the
planet. But there was a time when the human species numbered only a few thousand
and the world was a single continent: Africa. Then a small group left their
African homeland on a journey into an unknown, hostile world. Against impossible
odds, these extraordinary explorers survived and went on to conquer the earth.

Weary
