This reminded me of the evening I spent watching a three-hour long Discovery channel feature on the Tasmanian Tiger. I don&#8217;t know if they did an extra super-duper good job of hooking me in, but despite incredible fatigue, I watched the whole thing. They delved into the history of the Tasmanian Tiger, and how it may or may not be extinct. Throughout the entire show, I was given the impression that they might still be around, and Discovery has it on tape. At the end of the show, round about 1 AM, they wrapped up with a &#8220;they may not be extinct, but we may never know&#8221; line. I was furious.  I was angry not only at Discovery for duping me, but also for the fact that I wanted to see a Tasmanian Tiger, and I never will. (It was a very Violet Beauregarde feeling.) I can&#8217;t explain it, but there was a weird feeling of closure when I watched the video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That, my friends, is the line the dad used to say in the short lived cartoon featuring baby Taz.
