"Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc"
This fallacy happens when someone claims one event is caused by another, though the events are actually unrelated. media type="youtube" key="vRJUvFG8gbE" width="420" height="315"

This video is an example of Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc because the character, having gone on a potentially dangerous trip, returned safe; his mother claims that this is because her church group prayed for his safety. The fallacy specifically occurs when she claims the prayers were the sole cause of her son's safe return.

This video is also an example because the snowman claims that when the thermometer becomes red, the temperature goes up. Obviously the snowman isn't thoroughly educated, therefore he assumes that the temperature rises because the thermometer becomes red. While this would make sense from the snowman's perspective, it is still illogical because he has no real evidence to back it up.

The most important thing about this image is how obvious it is that no one has been in the building for quite a long time. The audience is most likely anyone who may have lived in a place like this, that has since been abandoned or otherwise forgotten. Details that give this photo significance are the light seeping through the dirty windows and highlighting the dirt and decay on the walls and floors. The implicit argument is that everything man does is temporary. The explicit argument is that nature will retake everything given the time. The foremost thought this photograph expresses is the frailty of man's creations. All things are forgotten with time.
