What happened to the Science Channel?

[BushOut06]

For the past week, it's been blank - although it's still showing up on my DirecTV guide.

1. Are they doing a tribute to the great scientific accomplishments

fostered by the Bush Administration?

3. They lost all their viewers to The Rapture channel?

Sorry. I hope it comes back soon.

4. They are going to redo it like the National Geographic Channel.

Jeee-bus
UFO's
Tattoos and piercings
Crop Circles
Ghosts
Bermuda Triangle
Superman (when Hollywood has a new Superman movie)
Spiderman (when Hollywood has a new Spiderman movie)
Pirates (when Hollywood has a new Pirate movie)
da Vinci Code (when Hollywood has a new da Vinci Code movie)

and when they aren't doing that....
even more Jee-bus

And The Hitle... ooops, sorry...
The History Channel does the same crap.

It's all rubbish... all of it.

8. You might have a reception problem

I don't know about satellite, but on digital cable, if the signal is too weak, the channel will be black, with no indication that there's a problem.

9. For quite some time they've really been the engineering channel

The discussion of pure science was reduced to a small sideline, with most of their shows dedicated to discussions of manufacturing, architecture, ship-building, and the like.
