Man, I read some forum posts today WWGHA. I'm not a member, but I thought I'd take a look to see what it is. Almighty God, that people never seriously afraid of this forum. Not that all atheists are always polite, but many members are the only religious nuts. There is some serious hate in this forum and not quite right. Remember, just reading a few hundred jobs, but with few exceptions, every time someone tried to reason with a religious person, it was "god of this world" and "god", or the fire of hell and damnation of the most virulent form. It's like you can not reason.

Oh, and I got a new laptop recently. Oh and I added an avatar finally!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Apocalyptic conditions in Washington DC. Heavy snow combined with thunderstorms, left 500,000 people without electricity (my wife included), hundreds of flight canceled and people leaving their cars on the highway and walk home. I'm worried about my wife, also because her heating doesn't work (it was leaking gas, they "repaired" it, but is still leaks gas). It is about time that she leaves the US and go back to the civilized world  ;) , where electricity cables run underground (so that trees can break them), a snowstorm is only a minor inconvenience and where you can find decent service.

@lookitsaustin: Yeah, I guess every self-respecting forum needs atleast one Naruto avatar, eh? :eek2: ), wondering if I could get some painting done (..on my miniatures. I collect those, mostly warhammer stuff...) today, and....yeah, just being bored. Oh, I did finish Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood last night though.... :yay:

I decided to buy a tub of cheese puff type cheese balls, I only buy them about once a year.  I forget about why I only buy them so rarely until I get home and open them up..............

And here comes Sumi, flying through the house the second she gets a whiff of the cheese balls.  I have to fight her off them every time.  It's amazing what a little 7 pound cat will do to get her most favorite snack in the entire world.  I had to hide them outside in the truck :verysad: so now if I want any I have to brave the cold to get them, not that it's that cold out here today but still....

Funny story... the last time we moved the movers got everything packed up and started putting everything on the truck, when they finally got to the big desk and started moving it the men were laughing.  Behind it, in a little space just big enough for Sumi (she's a lot smaller than the rest of the cats we have) to squeeze into was a massive pile of cheese balls, cheese puffs, potato chips, doritos, cheese curls etc.  They had found her stash.

The Magic Pudding

This map is on my mind today, and Oprah and her happy shiny portrayal of Oz.



That map is an outrageous understatement of the threats, probably tourist department propaganda.
I feel obliged to set the record straight.

Ticks, I heard they may now come with lime disease, wonderful.  Anyway they don't call them paralysis ticks for nothen, and no one can afford to slack off in a state of paralysis in this environment.

Mosquito born diseases, Dengue Fever, Ross River Virus, potentially Malaria, Barmah Forest Virus and others that aren't mentioned because health authorities don't want to cause panic.  Of course if you are ambushed by a swarm of mosquitoes these diseases are irrelevant.

Endemic motor vehicle induced psychosis.  Life is short, people don't like to wait.

Killer whales, not commonly thought to prey on humans, but that's only because they are sneaky, same with dolphins.

Ants, everywhere ants, can't sit on the ground for a picnic.  Why do indigenous people stand on one leg?  To minimise ant attack.

Don't forget the killer bats they piss on your horse, horse passes on killer disease, and after a couple of days suffering terribly, you die.

Leeches.  They still find medical uses for leeches, I wonder if I could sell the virtues of walking in my backyard after rain, kinda like a health spa.

Don't lean on the trees, giant spiky caterpillars, indistinguishable from the bark.  
Also some trees have spikes disguised as poisonous caterpillars.

White ants, timber structures only have an average useful life of six months, and this is only achieved by dousing the whole thing in organochlorines.  Be alert to the threat of falling buildings, don't lean on any structural walls, carry an EPIRB at all times.

Mutant zombie people, caused by overuse of organochlorines, always carry a cricket bat.

Almost universal chronic lateral epicondylitis due to carrying cricket bats.

Giant lizards, they'll bite you and then just follow you around until you're too weak to lift your cricket bat.

Nuclear contamination due to British nuclear testing, and another bunch of zombies.

The sun, it will kill you fast or kill you slow but it will kill you, if nothen else gets you first.

Hail, often causes brain injury and victims can often be confused with zombies.

Feral giant killer everything, including pigs, dogs, buffaloes and camels.

I don't believe the carnivorous kangaroos are truly extinct, they just make their kills look like dogs done it.
Anyway your common kangaroo will disembowel you as soon as look at ya.

I think the koala threat is overplayed, but they are very stupid, probably due to brain injuries caused by repeatedly falling from trees.  Anyway if it's hot don't seek shelter under trees, if one of these buggers fall on you they'll break your neck.

Possums can't hurt you though can they... ye dream on.

Ye no worries, I probably should have put something in about tourists driving on the wrong side of the road.
