Couldn't get the full video to download for some reason, but the short clip 
is both funny and thought-provoking. Seems obvious when you think about it - 
a conservative 100,000 years of mankind, yet 'God' left countless 
generations to die horribly of incurable diseases and do unmentionable 
things to each other for the best part of 98,000 years before eventually 
getting off his arse and deciding to drop into a barren land of illiterate 
peasants to pass on his message. And why not China, where they had a 
relatively advanced culture?

Thanks for the link, nice one.
