Jim Rome was talking about this all morning. Add it to the list of conspiracies:

-The US government is behind 9/11
-The moon landing was a hoax
-Area 51
-the crazy email I got this week correlating the assasinations of Lincoln and JFK

Sure I've missed many.

Plus I'd never heard of a tonado in Minneapolis until yesterday.

Wha't kind of alarming though is when you hear that FEMA practiced for three emergencies in early 2001:

1. a terrorist attack on New York
2. a flood wiping out New Orleans
3. a huge earthquake in San Francisco

Those are alarming until you realize that they are all pretty likely events, and shouldn't come as huge surprises. Still though, the timing of all this stuff is a little eerie.

You may have never heard of a tornado in Minneapolis until yesterday, but Minnesota has tornadoes every single summer. Plenty of them.

Yeah... you don't get much more unsurprising than those three scenarios...

New York is the biggest city in the US and the major financial centre of the world... where would you hit if you're a terrorist?

San Francisco has been "a city waiting to die" (name of a movie I saw in Geog) for a very long time. That one is gonna happen too.

New Orleans is in the volatile Gulf of Mexico with the majority of it below sea level... I know I wasn't surprised that Katrina happened...

Sad thing is, while 9/11 was handled well, FEMA and the state really dropped the ball in NO... so they're 1 for 2... lets hope we don't see if they can be 2 for 3.

But seriously, what else is there in the US for FEMA to test for of that magnitude with a greater chance of occurance?

As for Japan causing that hurricane... if it was someone there, and such a technology truly existed... don't you think there would be hurricanes everywhere all the time to wipe out enemies?

I thought Batboy caused the huricane. I guess I am uninformed.

Yeah, I kind of think that if man could 'cause hurricanes, then maybe man could cure cancer. Just a thought.

And as far as tornadoes in Minnesota go, yeah I'll admit I don't know shiz about most of the US. It's kind of like that stereotype that Canadians have how Americans don't know shinguard about Canada. It actually works both ways. People here can be pretty stupid.

Not really the same thing though is it? I mean, you probably wouldn't think an American who is unfamiliar with the climate of Manitoba is an idiot. I'm willing to be you know exactly where Minnesota is.

That's where I heard it. I was laughing like a hyena at his monologue.

That may also explain the blizzard of 94.
