Can we survive a mega-tsunami? The answer appears to be "Probably not"

Don't think we stand much of a chance surviving an Alien invasion either, tbh. Will Smith and Tom Cruise are getting on in years.

Not forgetting the pressure cooker ban......

They'll have to prise the tagine out my cold dead hands...

:hehe:

but tsunamis are pretty cool. Other than the significant loss of life and property, which goes without saying.

the massive lobbying by the hard core NPCA is irresistible to politicians.

The NPCA members are wacko. I mean, isn't a 4 quart presuure cooker enough for anyone who just cooks with them? But these backward gimps from the NPCA are adamant in keeping legal 10 quart, 20 quart cookers. Hell, they wouldnt even agree to a 100 quart cooker ban. There's no reasoning with these cooker freaks.

I still think we can limit the purchase of ball bearings to 10 and nails to 20. I mean, who really needs more than 10 ball bearings at any one time?

And we need to close the pressure cooking show loophole as well, imo.

was mad the Japan one was f**king unbelievable. I must have seen every documentary and you tube clips going :hehe:

Firstly, the name itself is pretty cool. Second, the thought of simply scampering up a hill to avoid seems rather simple ... but then again not so simple when masses of people are trying to do the same thing.

It's also an equal opportunity disaster. Tornados may destroy one house while leaving intact the house next door. Where's the fairness in that?

Looking at it from that angle, a tsunami is a Socialist's dream disaster. Everyone is treated the same.

I still can't work up the nerve to see that tsunami movie that come out this Christmas starring Naomi Watts.
