Top 5 moments that shook the world.

I think Bush's re-election was a huge shock to North America. Not sure if the rest of the world cared.

Here are my 5:

1. Holocaust
2. Assination of JFK
3. A-Bomb on Japan
4. Assaniation of Martin Kuther King
5. The birth of Christ

That's a tough question, but I think I've got the definitive answer. In reverse order of world-shaking power:

5. Little-known British band I Thalamus push the beat in the instrumental section of 'Goodbye my Beautiful Friend';
4. Josh Lyman gets shot in the cliffhanger at the end of the first season of 'West Wing';
3. Michael Jackson hits the top Ab at the end of the breakdown section in 'I Want You Back';
2. Shakespeare writes 'I never writ' in the last line of Sonnet #116;
1. As the credits start to roll at the end of the until-that-point-excruciatingly-sappy-and-dull episode of 'Soap' wherein Tim and Corinne bring their newborn baby home from the hospital, the toys inexplicably start floating round the nursery (heralding, as it turns out, a whole possessed-baby storyline).

1.Europeans discovered that the earth orbits the sun
2.European Martin Luther started his reform.
3.European Albert Einstein developed his theory
4.Start of the WW2 in the Europe
5.European Columbus found the america

I don't want to offend anybody, but I think Martin Luther King accomplished more dead than he did alive.

EDIT: My top 5

1. Saxons defeating Britons way back when
2. Holocaust
3. Assassination of Franz Ferdinand (launched WW1)
4. D Day
5. Man lands on the moon, 1969
