Planet In Peril The Conclusion
We take a deeper look into the rain forest in this part of Planet In Peril to see the destruction that is occurring there, very sad story...
I don't think most of us realize just how important the rain forest is to our survival, the time to protect what is left is now... Then they travel back to The States to see how pollution is effecting our kids.
As usual the poor people are getting the shaft... Big money and big oil are very tough competitors, but with the power of the people anything can be accomplished!
In case you missed the other parts of this documentary here they are... part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 and part 5.

Planet In Peril Part 5
This part of the documentary shows us that as the glaciers continue to melt and coral reefs die all around the world islands are starting to disappear. I think it is about time for these people to pack up and call it quits...
Next up the documentary takes us to Lake Chad, which is turning into a desert. BTW Senator James Inhofe is an ass...
This is the part that really pisses me off... How stupid do they really think we are? Senator James Inhofe biggest contributors to his campaign are energy and oil companies. Of course he is going to say that climate change isn't happening, because it is being caused by the oil and gas companies that are lining his pockets! He should be ashamed of himself...

Planet In Peril Part 4
This is where the documentary takes an even darker turn, this part of Planet In Peril takes us to Greenland where the temperature has risen 8 degrees in just the past 10 years! If Greenland melts completely it would raise see levels by over 20 feet...
In case you missed the story when it broke a few months ago Greenland has actually formed a new island because of the warming that is occurring there... As more and more ice melts it exposes more water which absorbs heat and only makes things heat up faster!
The last clip in this part of Planet in Peril concentrates on Polar Bears and the problems that climate change is causing for these animals... See ice lost has already passed the predictions for 2050 and it only increasing as we speak.
I don't know about you, but this documentary is beginning to really depress me...

They head deeper into China and take a look at the problems with water that is simply not drinkable nor should it be used to grow crops, but people living in these areas don't have any choice... Good luck with the lawsuit... for some reason I think that might be a tough one to win.

Giant Centipede Vs. Tarantula And Other Creatures
Watch as this giant centipede used it's venom to win the battle verses the bigger tarantula... just amazing footage! I don't think I would want to be the one with the camera on that trip...
If you think that video was something you haven't seen anything yet! As you can tell a centipede can certainly be a deadly predator, just watch as it makes quick work of this poor defenseless cricket...
And now for the grand daddy centipede of them all over 13 inches long... these big fellows actually snatch bats right out of the air! I wouldn't want to run into one of these any time soon!

This Summer I'll Bet You'll Wish You Had A Few Of These Around
Let start it out with the classic plant that mostly everyone knows about... that right Little Shop of Horrors Venus Fly Trap! The girls reaction at the end is typical they are just a bit creepy...
Now if you think this video is crazy just wait because you haven't seen anything yet!
This next one has some of the best footage I have run across of these blood thirsty carnivorous plants set to some very odd music... This video includes tons of species of plants that I have never even set eyes on before! Amazing what kind of creatures are out there in our world! I wonder where most of these plants are grown...
And finally the grand finale... this video starts out a little slow, but then it really begins to pick up, you know sorta like an cheesy 80's ballad : ) Well not exactly, anyways it is some pretty spectacular shots... I wonder if they have any that eat misquitoes or if we just have to rely on bats for that problem?

Proof That A Stoned Driver Beats A Drunk Driver Anyday
Poor guy didn't even smoke ANY weed today... and I bet he was driving nice and slow! Imagine how much different things could have been if he was a raging drunken violent moron!
Never a good idea to hit a officer of the law... even if you are plastered, I bet a stoned person wouldn't do such a thing!
And the final piece to the puzzle, one of the best opening scenes of any movie out there... enjoy and drive safe!
If you would like more of the human elements check out the vastness of space or see why this guy is such a maniac!
The Human Element
The human element... that seems to be what is missing nowadays in a lot of the things that we do... The human element has been replaced by the corporate element or the political element.
We need to take a look around us and realize what the real problems are that we face not as individuals, but as the human race. How can we stand by and watch many of the atrocities happen in third world countries only to turn around and jump on the opportunity to "help" other countries simply because they are rich with oil or other natural resources...
For more check out a in depth look at our oceans or some amazing photography of our world.
