    Sir David Attenborough is a global treasure. I can't imagine any documentary narrated by anyone else. His voice is so iconic, and his love and adoration for what he does reminds me only of Steve Irwin, just pleased to be there and doing what they do.

    I used to think it was weird the way he pronounced the "s" in "Asia", and then I randomly heard it in some other old film and realized that people just used to say it like that a century ago and he had no reason to change now.

    Feels like tempting fate to announce a celebration of his 100th birthday this far in advance….

    Are they going to celebrate his activism on global climate change and habitat destruction?

    BBC: We’re hosting a birthday party for Sir David Attenborough and you’re all invited!

    Me: Awesome!

    BBC: You’ve got a TV license, right?

    Me: …

    BBC: gestures to a man in the shadows. Get ‘em!

    Please, if a headline starts with David Attenborough, I'm begging for a standard "(still alive)" tossed in before the headline.
