English explorer Henry Hudson set foot on an island called Mannahatta 400 years ago. The Manhatta Project has recreated the island as it appeared in 1609, with forests, wetlands, and a vast array of wildlife. See views of Manhattan side-by-side with a computer recreation of what it looked like before it became a city. Link -via mental_floss

The two plumes of smoke reminded me of the attack on September 11, 2001. My uncle was in the WTC at the time but got out ok. I am so thankful that we no longer have to worry about such a tragic event happening anymore with our new President at the helm. If we had only known . . . but now the future will be better.

Danoso, that's a sweeping judgment call based on one innocuous comment I made. I'm neither Luddite nor treehugger, and I was simply commenting upon the differences between the photos. Keep your negative energy to yourself.
