How exciting has your life been?

Plug in a few numbers and find out- In my case, if I was a housefly I would now have a family of 41,310 generations (and not a damn birthday card from any one of the kids).

Did you watch the clip about the anaconda giving birth? I don't really like snakes, but this was interesting and informative.

Depressing and Not very surprising when you get to the parts about fossil fuels and endangered species. I thought the tectonic plate motion was pretty interesting... living on a super volcano, I think about the actual rise of the land mass I'm on - gains about 34ft/decade in my area.
