He has a way of explaining things like no other... for both the layman and the more familiar.

One of the best.

I love how it really caught Jon off guard.

He and Stewart make for a great discussion anyway but that was a hilarious opener.

the one with the red countries spins contrary to fact.

Maybe they should just leave it that way.

This is a promotional video for a product called 3-D Globe from a company that makes LED display products.

3.3 million views on YouTube since 2006 and only a few posters have mentioned that the globe is spinning backwards. It didn't seem to matter.

Sigh...
