POPSResearchers Explain the Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah Searching for Sodom and Gomorrah - http://www.bib-arch.org/e-features/sodom-and-gomorrah.asp "As suggested by Amos Frumkin in his May/June 2009 BAR article on the salt pillar known as Lot’s Wife, the Sodom story told in the Bible likely represents an ancient memory of a single catastrophic event that affected the cities and peoples of the Dead Sea region nearly 4,000 years ago." Really interesting article.

POPSThe impossibility and inevitability of revolution Though this clip is in the context of what's taking place in Iran, similar thinking applies to many things in life. People never imaged google could be bigger than microsoft, yet now it seems obvious. Certainly, people downplayed the significance and potential of Twitter (myself included), yet now it's growth seems unlimited. I guess the point i'm trying to make (trying being the key word) is that what seems impossible becomes possible all the time...yet in general, people tend to revert back to being skeptical that it can happen again.
