Tornado's will kill you whether you are in a building or not......</blockquote><br /> <br /> ?? nah. if they killed people every time, a lot of folks i know would be dead.<br /> <br /> i've been in an earthquake and i don't know how you guys run while that's going on. it made me dizzy. plus, no one ever tells me how to take cover. they just go &quot;uhhhhh...&quot;</blockquote><br /> <br /> In a really big earthquake the only thing you can do is duck and cover, you will just fall down trying to walk. In anything under a 5.5 it isn't worth getting up, if you notice it at all. In that zone between 5.5 and 6.something you might be able to move to safer ground or not. And it is not like we have so many big one like you have tornadoes. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/snakes-death#post-59119 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:26:54 +0000 Anonymous 59119@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ WUshock? haha! that's awesome! my stupid guess was it had something to do with lightning. <br /> <br /> that's not a mascot that's overused!<br /> <br /> have you seen Tulsa univ. golden hurricane named &quot;huffy&quot;? it confuses me. a)it looks like a tornado, and oklahoma doesn't have hurricanes, so what's with that? b)actually, it doesn't even look like a tornado. whatever it is, it has biceps!<br /> <br /> my favorite though must be evergreen's geoduck. which i have posted on here enough to send everyone to the hospital with burned eyes, so you'll have to go look it up. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;;-)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> <br /> sorry for the tangents... http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/snakes-death#post-59105 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 18:14:24 +0000 diane tigue 59105@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Hi banjo and all - a shocker is the mascot for Wichita State university in Wichita, Kansas. He is supposed to be a shock of wheat. Actually he looks like those old hygiene cartoons of Mr. Tooth decay. He has little bandy legs and scrawney fighting arms, all topped off with a menacing leer designed to strike fear in the hearts of rival sports team. They have good basketball teams, great baseball teams but no football. Twenty years ago (or more) the whole team was wiped out in a plane crash. There was some scandal involving payoffs to athletes in the football section and in the end the college decided football was more trouble than it was worth.<br /> <br /> Sorry to be so longwinded- the mascot's name is WUShock (wooshock) and you are supposed to yell it like Alabama yells &quot;roll tide&quot; or an Auburn university person yells &quot;war eagle&quot;. I could never do it. Just something about the little guy was off putting and vaguely shame making. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/snakes-death#post-59099 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 17:12:53 +0000 TobiasMonk 59099@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ lml &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_surprised.gif&quot; title=&quot;:o&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; lml<br /> <br /> HOOKEM!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> see, i'm all about everybody.</blockquote><br /> <br /> HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!<br /> <br /> &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;;-)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; X-D http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/snakes-death#post-59097 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 17:00:33 +0000 Anonymous 59097@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ lml &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_surprised.gif&quot; title=&quot;:o&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; lml<br /> <br /> HOOKEM!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> see, i'm all about everybody. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/snakes-death#post-59093 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:52:43 +0000 TobiasMonk 59093@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I'll be silent as to my observations.</blockquote><br /> <br /> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/snakes-death#post-59087 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:17:47 +0000 Anonymous 59087@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ thanks for the seriously stated correction on the rectitude of &quot;eastern&quot; kansans.

Even in places like Scotland you're not going to go too far away from places with petrol stations. <br /> <br /> amyl, i'd love to go to the seasides of the UK. somedaaaaaaayyyyyyy....</blockquote><br /> <br /> I hope you do get to come one day. You can get some fish and chips too when you're here. Just don't let the seagulls steal any!
