Watching a show about Egyptian pyramids used to be so much simpler. Now, when I watch the part about the young peasant man who stumbled upon the Pyramid texts, the oldest Egyptian inscriptions we have, instead of thinking "Wow, that must have been an amazing feeling, to stare at these long lost texts in the flickering torchlight." I now think "Oh man, I'm supposed to translate that bit there over the door for Wednesday!"
I can't say this is an unpleasant complication. :-)
