No shortage of elaboration in science show.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Noelani Torre
WE see them on TV and in the gym-these huge men and women with bulging muscles 10 times the size of ours. But, though they may look like the Incredible Hulk, this doesn't mean that they have his strength. In fact, the strongest people in the world-like Olympic weightlifters-don't look like your usual oiled, bikini-clad bodybuilder.
This is one of the interesting facts we learned when we watched "The Science of Superhuman Strength," an episode of Discovery Channel's much-vaunted "Human Discovery" show.
Quest
We stumbled across the show when we were looking for something good to watch on a weekday night. Not being particularly interested in our local channels' fantaseryes and talent searches, Cable TV proved to hold the answer to our quest. (Thank God for cable!)
You might think that a science show couldn't possibly compete with a chubby actress in spandex, or VJs desperately trying to think of something cool to say, but that only means you haven't been watching science shows in the past few years.
