Did the Moghuls of India Really Build the World's Largest Cannon?

Awww it is better crap than Swamp People, and some of the other trashy reality shows.

Ok.

The Universe: How the Solar System was Made At 4.6 billion years old, the Solar System is our solid, secure home in the Universe. But how did it come to be? In this episode we trace the system's birth from a thin cloud of dust and gas. Shocked by a nearby supernova, the pull of gravity and natural rotation spun it into a flat disc from which the Sun and planets coalesced. It all happened in the space of 700 million years, during which the planets jockeyed for position, dodging the brutal bombardment of deadly asteroids and setting into the neat, stable system that we now realize might be a rarity in the universe.

Modern Marvels: Walt Disney World. Journey underground and backstage at the technological marvel that is Walt Disney World. Enter a make-believe world spanning some 27,000 acres, brought to life by cutting-edge technology. What was once Florida swampland now boasts the world's largest theme park. The ride technology ranges from space-age centrifuges to enhanced motion vehicles powered by 3,000 PSI of hydraulic pressure. And hundreds of audio animatronics brought to life through the power of pneumatics, hydraulics, and electrical systems. Walt Disney World is made up of four separate theme parks, each with its own innovations: the 107-acre Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. The four parks are all part of a megaplex of a resort. Twice the size of Manhattan, it was the final vision and crowning achievement of a man who spent more than 40 years pushing the limits of technology to create entertainment magic: Walt Disney.

It's the talk radio model. Ancient Aliens for example (which has perpetuated the popular image macro meme shown above), is probably more watched by people who think its absurd then people who actually take it seriously. I know I never would have bothered to watch it if I hadn't seen so many "I don't know therefore aliens" posts. And boy, it was even more ridiculous then I expected.

South Park recently did an episode parodying the history channel where Kyle (in order to make fun of his friends' belief in aliens) writes a history paper claiming that Thanksgiving was actually the result of conflict between aliens. The history channel uses his paper as evidence for a show about how thanksgiving was caused by aliens. Of course since it's south park, Kyle's made up theory turns out to be true and hijinks insue.

The type of programs I prefer to see are coming on H2 in the early morning hours.

This morning it was about the 16th to 17th century Moghuls of India. They built the worlds largest cannon. At 20 tons it took four elephants to turn it on it's base. At the time they controlled the worlds sole source of diamonds.

That is the History channel that I remember.
