Guilty Pleasure

Tony Robinson, who played Balrick in the popular BBC Black Adder comedy series shown on PBS, has hosted two series of The Worst Jobs in History shown on the The History Channel International. We have some pretty terrible jobs today, like slaughtering cattle, cleaning stables, etc. but the jobs he reports on seems to include a number what involve collecting and standing in urine, turning rotten seasnails into purple or blue dye, tanning cow hides, handling manure int the Wattle & Daub method of building walls in the very ear perious. These are wonderful programs, but definitely an not for those with weak stomachs. Discovery Channel has its own show calle Dirty job which have included artificially inseminating horseas and cows. sexing chicks, cleaning and unblocking seweram, chumming on a fishing boat.
These are the kings of factoids
