Guns Germs and Steel

Did anyone catch the series "Guns, Germs and Steel" on PBS last night - http://www.pbs.org/previews/gunsgermssteel/ - Very interesting. As I've become a nut on water in the last few years, I'm wondering if it's role will be featured in the last episode?

yes, it was most interesting... the grain thing was a bit eye opening... but it all makes sense...

Read the book a couple of times, caught some of the show. I met Diamond back in the early 1980's. He was just as good-natured and brilliant as he appeared on TV.

Thanks for the heads up. Missed the first one...dang. But oh well, I'll see the next two and if I don't buy the DVD, I'll see the first one somewhere again.

Thank god we have people like Diamond actually scoring points.
