I wish I had History Channel at my apartment. Love it. Modern Marvels is a favorite of mine, seeing how things where built, their effect on past and present society, that sort of thing. Only have four channels, and I barely watch them. I can watch it when I'm back home, but haven't been back there much. I don't need cable or anything at this point, would distract me from assignments.abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

I love history, give me the ancient greeks! Rome! Sparta! Troy!
More interesting than the news today, like Britney shaving her head front page while news about troops in Iraq comming home gets pushed back to 4th or something like that.

The way the bridge moved is kinda hypnotic. It's interesting to see metal, concrete, and asphalt of that size move like that.

It's amazing how pliable that materials like steel and concrete can be on a large scale.
I would venture a guess that the reason that this footage is so enthralling is because it clearly demonstrates the large-scale flexibility of materials we commonly associate with their small-scale apparent inflexibility; seeing steel and concrete undulate like a flag in the wind is both fascinating and unnerving at the same time.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

The crazy thing is it was not caused by an earthquake but by the wind. Never underestimate the lateral force of wind.
