6.3 Earthquake In Italy

[WampusCrandle]

My friend sent me a message, she is in Rome, and told me she woke to her bed moving across the floor and her building moving - i thought she was joking. At least 27 people have died, and thousands are left homeless. (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article6042619.ece)

My wife has relatives who live fairly near there

The horror of such an event is tempered by the image of people sticking "a's" at the end of their words, even when fleeing in terror.

"earthquake... quick, save the mootserell, will you"

"the mozzarella ?"

"yeah, the mootserell.. its next to the marinar"

"And don't forget the gabagool"

"You mean the capicola?"

"No! I said the gabagool"

The earthquake was in Italy, not New Jersey.

So they all knocked off work at about 2 PM, rode around on snappy little scooters and tried to fuck the earthquake's girlfriend.

[TheMojoPin]

Hey-ah, Pope-ah!

Where's your messiah, NOOOOOWWWWWWW??!

[A.J.]

I hope the quake didn't damage Prime Minister Berlusconi's flowing locks.

You fuckers! This is no laughing matter. Look at this fucking building. Oh, the humanity! I hope they get everyone out of there in time.

Sorry I'm breaking up the comedy but this just seems off to me. Seriously, 50 grand? What the hell is that going to do?

US gives 50,000 dlrs for quake-hit Italy

The United States said Monday it would donate 50,000 dollars in emergency aid to Italy after a powerful earthquake killed at least 100 people.

[TheMojoPin]

Not even actual dollars, too.

SUCK ON THOSE DLRS, YOU PASTA-EATIN' FREAKS.

[Judge Smails]

Yep - laugh it up, fucksticks!

I think I just saw stugots new Fiesta in the rubble...
I am sorry buddy, the experience is on hold.

I know anything can be made fun of, but isn't there an element of time involved?

well, sure, there is sometimes. but, distance can make a difference. of course, it can be different, like for me because i have a friend very close to the earthquake, but i'm not gonna let a little joke here or there do anything. of course, if this were in the "that's life" forum, it would have been distasteful.

You forgot the distance part of the equation.

If a cop caused this earthquake this thread would be 38 pages by now.

[JohnGacysCrawlSpace]

It was reported that hundreds of basement-kitchens were ruined in the quake.

[TheMojoPin]

After this the earthquake is going to have to lay low and go to the mattresses.

I said the exact same thing when I saw that picture.

[pennington]

It was reported that hundreds of basement-kitchens were ruined in the quake.

Most living-room furniture was unharmed. Fortunately it was protected by clear plastic covers.

Think of all those poor mammoni who can't live at home with their mothers anymore. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5761647/)

[Furtherman]

Looks like someone gets to say "Lo ho detto così!" now.

A researcher says he predicted Monday's devastating earthquake that killed dozens of people and left tens of thousands homeless in central Italy, but authorities dismissed him as a scaremonger. (http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/04/06/italy.quake.prediction/)

Last month, vans with loudspeakers drove around the area broadcasting Giuliani's warning after he claimed his method of predicting seismic events by radon gas emissions had forecast an imminent quake.

The scientist was reported to police for spreading false alarms and was made to remove his findings from the Internet. "They called me an imbecile," he said.

According IlCapoluogo, Giuliani gave an interview as recently as March 24 in which he repeated his claims.

Maybe they were sick of hearing about 9/11 too.
