No, actually, it stank then, too.

A neat documentary who would have thought John Waters and Sunny Bono in the same movie.

Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is coming out soon. Hopefully this will be better than Fallout New Vegas was to Fallout 3.

I saw that picture when I was web surfing. Amazing, isn’t it?

Nice video. Makes it sound like there was never water there before the “accident.” Love the line where the narrator says, “I like to go there to get a glimpse of what the world will look like after we’re gone.” Too many Mad Max movies, maybe?

For the real history of the sea, you will need to go to other sources. Wikipedia has a decent write-up. There’s been water there off and on for hundreds of thousands of years.
