coastal homes
i have an idea...coastal homes shaped like igloos?

also whatever happened to that guy that wanted to throw a million diapers in the middle of a hurricane to weaken it? the last i heard was that his theory might work and that the DOD rejected funding for him.

Trouble with round houses is that square furniture won't fit!

It is possible to build houses which won't take any damage from hurricanes. Quite a lot of concrete and steel is involved. The cost of materials is the problem.

Not building cities in the path of hurricanes would be the obvious solution!

Did anyone else experience an almost uncontrollable full-body shiver at the thought of millions of water-soaked Huggies flying through the air at speeds of over 100mph?

Yes. I did. The thought is...disturbing. Think of the carnage that would follow.

so long as they are water soaked, its not to bad, but the environmental impact of it would be the most worrying for myself

Have you ever felt the weight of a diaper that is just soaked in a baby's whiz? Imagine that those things hold like a bucket...and then imagine all of that weight in a plastic coating flying at your head.

funny! everyone's just so funny!

hey i got power tonight, 4 days later. i couldn't wait for another 24 days 'til you know what. however now that the satelite dish is gone...i'm going to have to wait until november 29th for the good folks at dish network to mosey on down.

also, that guy that wanted to send the diapers in the hurricane...he wanted to drop the demoisturisers from the air...not literally diapers. hope y'all had a great time.

sorry no pictures. but my buddy brian who's hotel room i crashed into, he took some pics and i'll ask him for a copy and i'll post it asap.
