Time to get serious for a moment. We know Godzilla is a nuclear metaphor, but maybe it's important to put this into perspective. This is from the site Memolition. It's a surreal and very sobering video by Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto showing a time lapse world map of every nuclear explosion in history from 1945 to 1998 by the 7 nuclear power nations, The United Stated, Russia, Great Britain, France, China, India, and Pakistan. Give you one guess as who did the most. I had no idea there had been so many at 2053. Some years in the early 60's or late 70's it just goes crazy. Makes you wonder how the human race has survived this long. Godzilla is fiction, this is not.
