No, it’s not a hang ten kind of wave.

How Tsunamis Work | LiveScience

A short, but informative article on how tsunamis work…minus the human element of what it would be like to see one of these bad boys heading straight for you. No article could really explain that.

The King and the Trousers

If King Harald of Norway approves, and even has his own outrageous curling pants, then it’s official–these pants do indeed take the prize for most original (and successful!) marketing method of the decade. Before the Olympics, before the argyle pants, before the Facebook fan page, can you honestly say you really cared about Olympic curling? I rest my case.

Created via Microsoft Word and revised 27 times in 2 days, something about this just doesn’t ring true. He was a software engineer, and he used Word, of all things, to create a web page? That, and the fact that he completely lost track of the fact that the people in the office building over on Hwy 183 were just that…people. People with children, people with parents, people with brothers and sisters and husbands and wives. To commit suicide is one thing, to force others to participate is murder, or at least attempted murder, and a savage, criminal act.
