And here I always thought it was "On ne mange pas pour vivre lors on
vive pour manger." Apparently we need to replace "eat" with "cook".

Here is a the same show in 1 gigabyte as a .torrent, not 20
gigabytes as a multipart file you need to download from a pay-for
Usenet server using a NZB news client.

Why do I see Steve's follow-up, but not the original from Opinicus?

Cooking shaped our species in many ways. It gave us calories from grains
and led to agriculture. It greatly eased the digestive requirements to
get nourishment from meat, and led to a reduction in the size of our
gut. and more. I'll look at the link when I get time.

Because as Sqwertz pointed out, the proper group name is
alt.cooking-chat. I apparently posted the heads-up message to
"alt.cooking.chat" along with rec.food.historic.

BTW if anyone has trouble with the .nzb file or with the torrent, I
can repost the complete video in alt.binaries.multimedia.cooking.
It''s in XviD format (.avi) and 783,441,920 bytes long.

He mis-spelled the name of the group. Originally it was
alt.cooking.chat. I changed it to alt.cooking-chat.

It's just a link to the actual movie file. Or technically, it's a
file that translates into download directions for file-sharing
software known as bittorrent.

I have downloaded it but have not watched it yet. It is one of my
areas of great interest, though.

Looks like your link expired, but I thought it said total download
size was 19.nn Gb's. I don't do NZB so I'm not sure if I was just
translating it wrong, or what.

Thanks for the heads-up on the existence of the show, BTW. I'll
probably watch it tonight.

Or 'she' <shrug>. I just assumed the subject of the show was more
of a primitive man-thing :-)
