mmm's Fun Fact of Whenever I Feel Like It!

[Dr Frook]

7 Itialian scientists were convicted of manslaughter because they did not "provide adequate warning" about a 2009 earthquake.

In short, that's bull.

The fact that this conviction occurred even 3 years after the event shows that this was not running on pure emotion, just plain ignorance. No science is 100%, and I assume the government is looking for a scapegoat for not providing a more efficient rescue operation.

yeah, poor peeps. Pure insanity. Predicting eruptions in no where near an exact science. It will be years off, if ever, before we can come close to predicting when and the size or an eruption. STUPID.

Quiz time!

What is this?

However cute and or cuddly they may appear, they have poisonous spines on their skin that cause excruciating pain, and in the case of an allergy, a whole slew of nasty things like hives, rashes, blisters, and breathing difficulty. So if you come across these things in the Americas, remember to rub them all over your younger sibling's face. Or replace your mom's shower pouf with one of these.
