Fearful of having to tell their parents the two childhood friends frantically look for other options but to no avail. One day Kyle, the more optimistic of the two, gets the brilliant idea that they should make online videos and become internet stars. Thinking that it'll be a quick and easy way to make money, he convinces Jason to give it a shot. The two spend one month in hopes of "making it big" online- all the while dealing with romantic interests, and trying to make ends meet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAXu4ODpqmkendofvid [starttext]Petra (from πέτρα "petra", rock in Greek; Arabic: البتراء, Al-Butrā) is an archaeological site in Jordan, lying in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. It is famous for having many stone structures carved into the rock. The long-hidden site was revealed to the Western world by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. It was famously described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate prize-winning sonnet by John William Burgon. Burgon had not actually visited Petra, which remained accessible only to Europeans accompanied by local guides with armed escorts, until after World War I.

The Catacombs of Paris!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bElIDgAFaiMendofvid [starttext]Breathtaking video of the underground Catacombs of Paris. filmed in 1998, by Brian Keeley.

Beim grossen Brand von Rom im Jahre 64 nach Christus wurde auch diese Gegend komplett verwuestet. Auf den Resten der zerstoerten Gebaeude, der ersten Schicht, entstand ein grosszuegiges Privathaus, das spaeter in eine Kirche umgebaut wurde. 1084 pluenderten die Normannen Rom und zerstoerten dabei auch dieses erste Gotteshaus. Auf seinen Fundamenten, der zweiten Schicht, liess der amtierende Papst eine neue Kirche errichten. Sie wurde etwas kleiner als der alte Bau. Diese zweite Kirche besuchen wir heute. Sie ist sehenswert.
Betrachten wir die drei Schichten. Ganz oben das jetzige Gebaeude. In der Schicht darunter die Ueberreste der ersten Kirche. Im jetzigen Gotteshaus sind die Boegen der ersten Kirche zu sehen. Wir nehmen den Abgang im noerdlichen Seitenschiff zur Unterkirche. Dort befindet sich das Fresko von Christus in der Vorhoelle.
Es geht noch eine Schicht tiefer zu den Fragmenten des antiken Wohnhauses. Ganz am Ende der Katakomben befindet sich das Mithrasheiligtum, ein Relikt aus der vorchristlichen Zeit.
