That was a fact, it was on the history channel.

Ah, but without a good definition of "doesn't care" it's a pretty meaningless fact anyway. The planet's not sentient, so in that sense it CAN'T care.

"doesn't care" means that given a long enough time the planet will self-repair any damage done to it.

Well to an extent that's pretty obvious, we've had mass extinctions before and life has recovered. On the other hand, the "repaired" world is usually very, very different to the one it left behind prior to said damage.

Hmmmmm..... then why did you?

And how static can it be? People will still move around.....

Jubal was in a police interview room talking about the "protest"
Now think whatever you want to think.....

27. Walking into wardrobes doesn't actually take you into other worlds. Usually it just takes you into a cloudy haze of ancient garments and mothballs.

A two-metre crocodile that can crush a pig skull with the slightest movement can't open it's jaw if it's tied by a rubber band.

The world's first public smoking ban was implemented by Pope Urban VII (also the shortest reigning pope ever) in 1590.

30? I'll go for 30, correct me if I'm wrong:

30: Of the world's 100 largest economic entities, 51 are now corporations and 49 are countries, with General Motors, Ford Motor and Wal-Mart having a higher GDP per sales than countries such as Norway, Poland and Indonesia.
