blamebramptonGuess what natural disaster is currently rampaging across the top half of New South Wales?
Go on, guess!
Did you guess flood? A gold star for you.
Now guess what the latest threat from the fires down in Victoria is?
Contamination of Melbourne's very marginal water supplies.
Oh Australia, you are so hilarious!
An update post on the Victorian fires later tonight, and for anyone wondering when the plague of locusts is going to descend, that was last November.

Date: 2009-02-17 02:20 pm (UTC)This is one of the reasons I am an atheist, because I want the Christians and Muslims and Jews I am friends with to feel they have a great and powerful god, who is, in most cases, merciful and just. Whereas the world I live in could only be explained through a theistic view as being governed by one sick fucker.
Maybe the Vikings were right and just put Loki in the wrong part of their pantheon ...

Austalia is the land of the fearless, isn't it? I have many fears. Especially spiders. I think I'll stay here where the biggest threat I face is the squirrel on the laundry line and the raccoon on my neighbours roof who won't come down if the backyard light is on...
Anyway, I was just thinking about you last night and wondering how you were doing. :)

You forgot the box jellyfish, blue ringed octopus, stonefish and scorpions.
