Did you know that during colonial times, firing a cannon ball into a tornado was considered a legitimate and reputable line of defense against the SWIRLING WHIRLWIND OF DOOM ( Read more... )

Actually their idea wasn't all that bad. What they needed was disruptive motion instead of the soley forward motion the cannon ball delivered. A tornado is essentially air, particles and cows trapped in a vortex. The vortex would have to be disrupted for the tornado to disappear. A large amount of energy with into the vortex could do it. Shockwave enegry might work, from TNT, or from a similar detonation. The problem would be, is the detonation going to cause more, or as much, damage as the tornado would?

Seriously, I never put that much thought into it.

I'm satisified calling them retarded

Gosh...you're inside during a storm. Good for you. Meanwhile on the otherside of the country, it was 85 degrees here with not a cloud in the sky. I casually walked from my comfortable house into my backyard and stuck my toes in the pool with absolutely no temperature change. And not that sticky kind of heat, either. The kind of heat that people move from Virginia to California in the hopes of finding. :-P Just wanted to gloat because I want to see naked chicks too but Ant doesn't want me to take him to a (very nice) strip club for his 21st birthday.

I have no witty response to that, so I will simply call you a stupid head, and leave it at that.

Take that!

Oh, now don't be bitter! Good news (I think): Ant's grandmother is giving Ant's mom a Christmas present that includes flying Ant, Persephone, and me back there for a few weeks for Christmas...pretend to be excited!
