“With classes canceled and more than a foot of snow on the ground, University of Wisconsin-Madison students planned to try again to hold the world’s largest snowball fight on Wednesday.”
“I’ve been dreading this day,” said Kim Brust, shoveling the sidewalk in front of his Minneapolis home before sunrise Wednesday. “I was starting to enjoy the global warming.”

I found this story hilarious…
Afghanistan’s only pig quarantined out of flu fear
“For now the pig is under quarantine, we built it a room because of swine influenza,” Aziz Gul Saqib, director of Kabul Zoo, told Reuters. “We’ve done this because people are worried about getting the flu.”
…
The pig was a gift to the zoo from China, which itself quarantined some 70 Mexicans, 26 Canadians and four Americans in the past week, but later released them.
Some visitors were not concerned about the fate of the pig and said locking it away was probably for the best.
…
Afghan Pig Gets Out of Pen:
“Khanzir” — Pashto for pig — appeared unperturbed as a team of zoo workers used sticks to gently prod him out of his temporary concrete home into his usual enclosure of lush green shrubs and a mud puddle.
Two goats grazed quietly as their portly, pink porcine pal enthusiastically rubbed his snout in a small pool of mud.

NOTE: Read like a news/documentary video to get the effect I intended.
Katrina, Rita, Karen, Melissa, Hanna – these are not names of hot girls but the names given to some of the deadliest hurricanes in the past couple of years. Why have most hurricanes been named after women? Perhaps the meteoroligists took the saying seriously – Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Our climate has been changing over these past few decades, and I don’t mean the summer to winter season changes of the year. No, I’m talking about the coldness in summer and the snowless winters, which is slowly turning the whole world into one big San Francisco. Some say this is because of the ice caps melting, others say its because we’re not polluting enough, while still others say that it’s because the ocean is under too much pressure. But whatever the change is, it looks like we might end up moving to Africa or become extinct.
As environmentalists say, the way to avoid climate change is to use renewable energy, but where to get that energy from is a different matter.
Perhaps the climate change is just a natural shift, maybe the best source of renewable energy is a simple candle, perhaps the best way to sustain life is to grow your own food… but that’s not dramatic enough, so probably isnt possible.
