It was about the 5 million dollar effort to restore the USA Declaration of Independence.

Who in their right mind doesn't watch The Nature of Things, i mean come on. David Suzuki's tha man after all!

But Myra, for real now.. you're telling me Bret actually wants to watch a science show? I mean, I'm overjoyed to hear it, but you have to understand why I'm more or less in disbelief.

He sure does, he gets as excited for nova night as I do! sometimes there's a good national geographic special on afterwards we also watch.

After years, a team of assorted scientists and engineers and approximately 5 million dollars, IT WAS DONE!

But seriously, those scientists got real cocky. Like when they were arguing over putting little silica packets in these compartments in the titanium frame to maintain a relative level of humidity...holy shit...fists were about to swing.

I mean the guy who uses the silica gel method was responsible for developing cases to preserve the fucking magna carta (imo, more important than the D of I, but americans just fucking love that thing) which is actually preserved in better condition than the declaration itself. All these scientists were maaad disrespectin'!
