Dead dinosaurs, dead cats, and dead yoga instructors

If you’re a customer of Amazon.com, you know that new recommendations are suggested to you based on what you previously purchased. Usually this is a fairly useful process, and benign when Amazon is doing it (but not so amusing when one day it’s acknowledged that the feds are doing it too, and produce a more nefarious mismatch than Amazon did—see below).

Especially if you have kids, you might have already viewed the various Walking With… @AMAZON DVDs, produced by the BBC. They’re all good (and interesting for adults too), but my favorites are Walking With Dinosaurs @AMAZON and the superbly-narrated When Dinosaurs Roamed America @AMAZON( Discovery Channel). The best deal is The Complete Walking with… Collection @AMAZON, but it does not include When Dinosaurs Roamed America @AMAZON.

So what did Amazon recommend for me? How about One Foot In the Grave @AMAZON, a TV series by BBC. Maybe dead dinosaurs are similar to dead cats and dead yoga instructors!
