Step Two.
Europe looks like a bacterial slide with them chomping at eachother in this 1000 year time lapse of national boudaries.

Having problems makig this work. Is it a Google hack? They seem to fix them pretty quickly - like the one which was going around about how you could make Google translate beatbox by setting the translation to German to German and typing in certain combinations of words.
