This Post is Link-tastic! (Sites of Interest)

Here’s what’s interesting at EverythingIsHistory.com:

• Worried about the Mayan calendar, and the possible implications of the year 2012?  You’re not alone, as evidenced by the fact that even the MSM has picked up on the action.
• The NY Times has a site that illustrates the history of government intervention in past recessions.  If you ever wanted to know what people did in past times of financial crisis, here’s the place to look.
• If like me, you were born in the early 1980s, then you must be familiar with the entertainment phenomenon known as Saved by the Bell.  Where are they now, you ask?  If you guessed that Screech made a sextape, then you would be correct.  Seriously.  Google it, because I’m not going to link to it from here.  As for the rest of the cast, this site looks at where the cast members are now, sans homemade pornography.
• If you’re an environmentalist, look away, because here is a nice side-by-side pic of the island of Manhattan, then and now.
• For you science geeks out there, Scientific American has a story on an ancient uranium deposit that spontaneously underwent nuclear fission 2 million years ago.

Now go forth and get educated.
