Life After People

The History Channel has a series called Life After People that runs every Tuesday night at 10pm, in which it gives an idea of what could be expected to occur if people suddenly vanished from the earth (for whatever reason).

A couple of comments I found were very funny. The first concerned a painting by Leonardo DaVinci on a church wall, which has required regular retouching over the centuries including dehumidifiers. Since people are no longer around to keep up these protective actions, "How long will it be before nature finishes off The Last Supper?"

They also take a look at the 2nd tallest building in the world. "Taipei 101 is considered by some to look like a series of [Chinese Food] take out boxes. How long before nature takes out Taipei 101?"

Welcome to My blog! This is where I store my thoughts so that I can come back to them at some point in the future. This allows me a place like a journal to keep what I'm thinking about. But anyone else is welcome to visit; I make this place public so that other people can hear what I'm thinking.

This is where I make comments on any subject I find of interest. My political comments are in the Politics section, and technical items are in the Computers section. Note, if you want to make a comment, e-mail it to me at paul@paul-robinson.us. I am sorry that I had to disable comments, but after I had deleted the 300th worthless piece of spam comment on this blog and receiving exactly zero valid comments, I decided to stop allowing spammers to excrement all over me and my blog. If you have *anything* at all to say, send it to me in e-mail; if it is even the slightest bit relevant - even if I don't agree with it, I will post it. (As soon as I find a way to stop spammers from posting junk I'll allow direct comments.) Note that if you are a visitor and post a comment, it defaults to "draft" meaning I have to approve it before it is visible, so if you're posting spam, don't bother, nobody will see it.
