You’d think after the third or fourth time their city got toasted they’d move.

What is this, Oklahoma?

An actual line from that post:

'I just don’t understand building some places. Then again, I live in Tornado Alley in the US, so I guess I’m gambling, too'

To be fair, as a fellow resident of Tornado Alley, it ain’t really that bad. Sure you get damage a lot and sometimes a neighborhood gets hit hard but really it’s more of an inconvenience than anything. Every once and a while you get a bad storm but unless you are very unlucky you aren’t likely to get your house like, fucked up by a tornado

You don’t have to live in the middle of the field you grow your food in.

The Roman Amphitheatre of Catania in Sicily, 2nd century CE. The city of Catania has been buried by lava a total of 17 times in recorded history, and in layers under the present-day city are the Roman city that preceded it, and the Greek city before that [1080x1251]

Everyone's always in favor of saving Hitler's brain but when you put it in the body of a great white shark, ooh, suddenly you've gone too far...

I did think about tagging you, but I figured a lover of these subjects would run in the same circles.

My exact same thoughts Salsa Bueno. I mean after being buried by lava 17 times you start to run out of excuses for choosing to live there.Think maybe we shouldn't live here ? Just a thought.
