Re-inventing the wheel.
Every once in a while, there’s an invention or progression that I think is just great, because it seems so darn obvious that someone certainly must have thought of it before. introducing the Tweel. That’s right, a fancy new-fangled way to make sure that I never have a flat again. Well, thank you, ladies and gentlemen of the R&D department. There’s nothing quite as bad as changing a flat tire on the side of the highway in something aproximating -20 celsius: I think quite a few Canadians can identify with me here.
In other news, a tsunami destroyed Asia, or something like that. Apparently it’s the largest natural disaster in all of recorded history, in both expense and expanse, and in regards to death toll. I can only imagine what might have happened if this thing had hit Toronto or something. Probably not as much death, but still, damage in the billions.
Speaking of which, even by the most conservative of estimates, World War 2 caused a total of somewhere near a million million dollars. That’s a lot of money.

totally changed the whole earth and killed a lot of things and people (including Methusaleh!) (sp?)
the $ amount of damage wouldn’t have been that high, though…
