The Real World
Seinfeld/Friends
MASH
The Sopranos
Diff'rent Strokes
Cheers
Dragnet
Saturday Night Live
Sesame Street
60 Minutes
The Simpsons
Star Trek

Can you tell that I'm into "most important" lists right now?

Business Time

Here's a video of stand up from the guys from Flight of the Conchord. The show's just all right, but the songs are hilarious. Shout out to Andrew for the idea to check them out on youtube. Sorry I had to kick your ass tonight. Do you think I like to hit you?

No People

Here's a really interesting article on what would happen to the Manhattan if all the people suddenly vanished. Without pumps to remove the water, the subways would flood within two days (Manhattan has 13 natural springs and was covered in rivers when initially settled). Within a few decades. The buildings and subways, after being subjected to the freezing and thawing process, would all collapse within a few years, and vegetation would push out all the concrete. Long story short, New York would return to mature forest within 50 years.
