BOO HOO Fort Lauderdale, FL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Aug 19, 2008 DUH is right. COMMON SENSE......guess it isn't so common. But thanks for the laugh.....was the best part of the news.

I really wish he recovers well and, for his own sake stop trying to be the smart gay in the block acting like an idiot. If they don’t want to listen to authorities, then at least listen to Mother Nature.

Darwinism Oklahoma City, OK	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #9 Aug 19, 2008 This is a perfect example of the theory of natural selection: only the strong and smart survive. Though I hope he''ll be okay, it just goes to show there are reasons why these weather warnings go up.
