It was the helicopter footage of the masssive tsunami surge across all that farmland that bothered me;  there were cars and trucks attempting to outrace it, and they didn't.
Poor bastards :(
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yeah, China's going to try sending some spies... I mean relief workers to Japan.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Since the train in Tokyo were suspended following the Earthquake one of my Japanese co-worker walked home from the Office. Took him 4 hours. Crazy bastards.

Said hawaii was expected 6.5ft. waves. Isn't that just a middling decent surf day for Hawaii?

The wavelength is much longer in a tsunami, hence the volume of water is much greater than in an ordinary wave.

What a fucking mess.

I'm happy that my buddy in Japan is okay.

Not looking forward to the day we get the big one out here on the West Coast.

Fuck. Really bad stuff.

Bad for me personally too, been hoping to go to Japan later this year.

Why would it be bad for you personally?  Tourism is going to be down, so you might be able to get some good deals.  And before anybody accuses me of being crass, well, yeah, that might be a crass way of looking at it, but hey, I'm not the one worrying about how the disaster affects my vacation plans.

Mushroom clouds over Japan?  Happy days are here again!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Another one?

Quote1908: A magnitude 6.6 quake has now struck in central Japan, AP news agency reports, causing Tokyo buildings to sway. It is not clear if this is connected to the earlier quake and aftershocks.

Apparently there's quite the risk of a nuclear meltdown developing at a power plant...

Work plans actually.

But its not my primary concern of course. I was just being languishy about it.
