Well, someone just said that the Roman's did indeed invent concrete so the
Discovery Channel has been vindicated. :) Honestly though I don't remember
where I first read this. Perhaps it was PBS, or maybe even *gasp* in the

which channel, but it was one of the learning channels. From the
commercials it appeared that the coverage would be rather even-handed.
