I watched a very cool special from National Geographic a few weeks ago that I thought was good enough to recommend to you guys. The premise is simple: Imagine if one minute from now, every single person on Earth disappeared. All 6.6 billion of us. Human history just stopped. What would happen to the world without us?

This extraordinary special details in each period of time what would happen to the earth, starting in this first five minute and slowly going through every era of time that would eventually pass after we vanish.

Never been a terribly big Alan Keyes supporter, but I have heard good things about him and had heard one or two sound bites before that impressed me. In this brief interview he hits the nail on the head so many times he could have built a picnic table.
