yeah, but, who would read my blog?!

other than that little quandry, this is morbidly interesting:

Thanks to treehugger.

UPDATE:

Along the same lines is this very interesting article about Alan Weisman's new 'thought experiment' about what could happen to the world if we were to suddenly disappear, and when. What struck me were the details he considered, like changing pH levels due to lime infusions into local ecologies due to collapsing buildings. Probably a fun and thought-generating read.
