      Now all we need is for a tornado to head in the direction of West Yorkshire

        I'm sorry, but Birmingham needed it.

        It's vile. Worse than Coventry, and that's saying something.


        During the 1960s city planners eradicated its historic downtown, turning swaths of the city into a concrete-wasteland habitat for cars and roving gangs of unemployed youth. Having learned its lesson the hard way, the city is now attempting to re-create the downtown as a gathering place for people, in what currently is Europe’s largest retail regeneration project. At the core of this rejuvenation is the Birmingham BullRing, a £500 million ($700 million) shopping, dining and meeting area that will bring 1.2 million square feet of new retail space to the city.



        And the bright new future:

          Y'all are handling your once-in-seventy-years tornados far better than Che handles his weekly hurricanes.

            England gets about 30-35 tornados a year. Birmingham needs more of them.
            One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

              Finish the quote:

              Homes and businesses have been overwhelmed by one of the most devastating tornados seen in the UK.

              On Thursday afternoon, people ran in terror as vicious winds overturned cars, tore up trees and ripped slates or entire roofs off properties in the Kings Heath area of Birmingham.

              A young girl was seen holding a small black dog and mumbling, "Oh Toto, I don't believe we're in Kansas anymore."

                Tsunami effects maybe? England isn't really known for tornadic activity.

                  Why is it such a discovery that climate is changing? Global warming began over 5000 years ago
                  I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                    Will you please stop spreading such nonsense - it has been proven over and over that only human interference can destroy natures equilibrium
                    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                        Yep, there are no more volcanoes than nature can handle - actually, new research has proven that human destruction of nature started long before the industrial age - it was the start of growing rice that began to mess things up.

                          Maybe we should start eating plancton, or does it affect nature too?

                          And don't fart, it could affect world climate
