My girlfriend has been wanting to watch "Everything You Didn't Know About Animals" every night; it's a pointless facts about animals show, but every now and then there's an interesting tidbit. One that comes to mind is that Tiger's stripes are actually visible on their skin if shaved, or that polar bear fur is clear in color and their skin is black - so their white color comes from reflected light.
I much prefer fictional narratives, like Game of Thrones, but I'm practicing my future gameplan of "Happy Wife, Happy Life"
