I was just watching discovery's MEGA BEASTS show, with some decent CGI of a giant, ostrich-like bird taking down prehistoric horses, not expecting to get a blog entry out of it at all, simply enjoying it for the mindless violence, when I was struck by the show's conclusion.
The narrator talked about how, despite being a fearsome predator, the "Terror Bird" went extinct. "The most dangerous predator on two legs is no longer a bird." and it showed a cityscape with hundreds of people walking in the street.
"For now," continued the narrator, "We rule the earth." I snorted and was about to comment on the vanity of the final line, when I heard the narrator repeat, "For now."
The way he was speaking, you could tell he was smiling.
