More Rainbow, Less Serpent
When the ants came, some of us set out to find the cause, rather than the solution. Some of us wanted to be sure it would never happen again. I was one of those someones. But instead, I found the Philips HTS8100/37B SoundBar DVD Home Theater.
How could it be possible? I asked myself that question again and again. For I could believe that somehow ants had grown to be a hundred feet tall. But the Philips HTS8100/37B SoundBar DVD Home Theater delivers a 5/1 sound experience through fewer speakers. And the 1080p HDMI delivers clear images with Progressive Scan. Even the mysterious Faroudja DCDi that takes out jagged edges from standard interlaced video. All so unexplainable by human science. Or at least, any science I know of.
This is probably a good point to mention that I’m not a scientist. I’m just a guy who mows lawns. But there’s no such thing as a disaster, only a new chance for opportunity! I figure once I solve this problem, I’m on the fast track to working in a lab. Hey, it’s hard to get a lab job without a degree, you do what you can. Oh, hey, don’t worry about my qualifications, I got this really cool PBS series about ants on DVD, my Philips HTS8100/37B SoundBar DVD Home Theater makes it look and sound great. I’m basically an expert now. I’ll get to the bottom of this if it’s the last thing I do.
