Here is your science lesson for the day, kids:

Tsunamis, also incorrectly known as tidal waves, are caused by earthquakes, submarine landslides, volcanic eruptions, or (rarely) giant meteors crashing into the ocean. They are not caused by holes in the ozone layer. Seriously. Look it up. I went to a public school and I know that.

Ozone layer.

Who blamed it on the ozone layer?

Some chick on the friend's list on someone on this friend's list with an unnatural obsession with Axl Rose. I'm sure she's a very nice person and all, but come on. (Also, her concern with the ozone layer directly contradicts her love for Axl Rose. He uses an awful lot of aerosol hairspray.)

It's people like that who make reasonable enviromentalists like me look bad.

The polar ice cap would have to instantaneously melt to cause that sort of displacement.

Didn't Axl have dreads recently?

Well, these days he uses a corn-row wig...

But still....

I wonder if he went bald and that's why he's wearing that wig.

_lothar December 28 2004, 23:42:37 UTC

That's exactly what I am thinking.

If the person had been in the room with me, instead of leaving comments on my entries, I would have hit them over the head with my old geography text books.

It seems the events in Asia has turned a lot of people into experts one of who just told me that plate electectratronics cause earthquakes. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at that one, so just settled for knocking my drink over in horror.

That is an awesome word and I am going to use it every day from now on.

Your friend might be interested that her idol Axl Rose and his excessive use of hairspray in the 80's and early 90's is directly responsible for the hole in the ozone layer (and also his current baldness which he is covering with a dreadlock wig).

Don't laugh. All these radios and cell phones and their radio interfairience are disrupting the mountains' salt lines.

Yeah, this is pretty much one disaster we can blame 100% on god being a vicious prick
