Cheerier topics?

Just thought I'd pop up for a breath of fresh air and pass along an interesting link. It's a world map, showing, 'in real time', all the volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, biohazard incidents, epidemics, airplane & vehicular accidents, etc... like everywhere! OK, I doubt it shows EVERY fender bender on the planet. But it's pretty dawgawn cool, anyhow! To see basic information, click on a symbol. Its info box has an option to click for more details. I've noticed a lot of the air incidents don't dish out much detail. Just a link to the FAA page. Fair warning... I did notice it made my browser (Firefox) really sluggish after a while. I don't know if that's due to FF's memory hog reputation or just an overload from too much information flowing. I haven't tried viewing it in IE yet.

Another similar, but not nearly as comprehensive, site: Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System.
