Magick TV

If you feel that you haven't had your quota of revisionist history and outdated theories about pagan religions, pop over to Magick TV. I'm especially fond of The meaning of Hekate, where Krystel manages to get practically everything wrong without looking into the camera even once.

You gotta know when to Golem

Bart: Krusty, what's that monster?
Krusty: It's the Golem of Prague! Legendary defender of the Jewish people. Like Alan Dershwitz, but with a conscience. I kid, Alan, we're friends.

The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XVII airs Sunday, Nov. 5th at 8 p.m. on FOX.

The Monastery

In TLC's new reality show five men of varied backgrounds go off to live at a Benedictine monastery for forty days and forty nights. Producer Sarah Woodfort says that "The point has not been to create traps for hapless people to fall into. We're interested in exploring how people like us can live a good and purposeful life and what the 1,500-year-old monastic tradition can teach modern people."

I guess that means they're not excommunicating a participant at the end of each week.

Visit the Monastery.
