    This is really neat!

    Any of you who like that song by Billy Joel, We Didn't Start the Fire, about historic events of the 20th century, might really like this. I was just browsing and found this where it plays the song and shows pictures of the events to coincide with the lyrics. Really clever

    That was really good.

    It was like a mini history lesson, I like history. Just stamp the word geek on my forhead.

    I really like the person comments they were too funny.

    Thanks for sharing that.

    Great! Glad you guys enjoyed it . I really like Billy Joel too, I think he's a very talented artist. That song is really unique I think, as it goes through all those generations of events, and then with the chorus puts it into a perspective or analogy that is very apt.

    If you looked at the subliminal message part, this one was my favorite:

    "I am not young enough to know everything"
