Get over it already, will ya. Six times as many people die each and every night from hunger as died in the attacks. Maybe you'd care to do them and all of us a favor by forever remaining silent as a token of respect to their memory.
Indications are that 600,000 people were left homeless, with 348,000 houses destroyed and an additional 844,000 damaged.[...] Government estimates place direct economic losses at $1.3 billion. Other estimates indicate losses may be as high as $5 billion.
If you want to talk about perspective, we have whole areas of India struck by this earthquake, 348k houses damaged, and it costed them almost 5 billion.
On New York, according to this story: "Attacks expected to cost New York at least £40bn", 2 buildings are destroyed and the cost rises at least eightfold.
Nothing to do with the Ig Noble Awards, I know, but it makes you think about the economical difference between both countries.

Ahahaha hahahaahah hahaahhaa hahaahahah.
Oh, my you truly are the dear Oscar reincarnated.
Have you considered treading the boards?
Someone has to sweep up at night.
"A Wedding in 60 Seconds."
I don't think they'll be signing, it takes too long. I think they'll just finger print the wedding certificates.
Desides, where is the science in the wedding?
Worst comment ever!!! (in the voice of Comic Book Guy).
AS the author of the parent post I can now say I found a use for the later, it should have been obvious; detecting when pussy is in reach for us geeks.
Did any one see the Win a date with a Nobel Laureate? Wish there was still time to enter, I would finaly be able to relize my dream of Romancing Sheldon Glashow. Oh to have a night with that sexy, sexy man
Sleep is for the weak!
True. But this is not a board to talk about earthquake aid or other humanitarian help, it about what ever fancies the editors. If you want to start a board on humanitarian aid, please do, and more power to you in doing so.

Well, I demand that Slashdot establishes a "streetlawyer's unfunny bullshit" category.
Thanks.
How about a choice event for the /.ers where the most rediculous moderation gets an award.
Nominations start NOW! event in a month!
Boy if the wedding is that short I'd sure hate to go on that honeymoon...
~ now you know
I'm sorry, you needed a dictionary to work that out?
Jeez, why not give us all a lesson on "How to state the bleedin' obvious"
Trollboy, you're a fucking genious.
Thanks for clearing that up.
>>and demand that Slashdot establishes an "It's Embarrassing. Cringe" category for the purpose
And we should have the same picture appear next to every one of your posts too.
Adequacy sucks and so does your mom and sister.
