A look at this week's top-rated websites from StumbleUpon, recorded on October 8.

This week's selection includes photos of California's giant sequoia trees, photos of official-looking historical markers with a decidedly political instead of historical message, a news article about a distant planet that could support life, a time-lapse video montage, and a chart showing the Muslim population juxtaposed with both the size of the American population and Al-Qaeda.
