One Last Campout for Star Wars Fans
theodp writes "27-year-old graphic artist Jeff Tweiten lives on a periwinkle blue, fold-out futon on the sidewalk in front of the Cinerama Theatre in downtown Seattle. He is not homeless, but camping out for 139 days. Waiting. For what, you wonder? Tweiten is waiting for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, which opens May 19. And yes, he's keeping a blog. 14 days down. 125 to go." In other Star Wars news: dbottaro writes "Who wants a JL421 Badonkadonk? NAO Design has built a functional Sandcrawler, ala Star Wars Episode IV. Complete with blaster-deflecting sidewalls, full interior carpeting, seating for five and a 400 watt stereo system." Reader dankinit writes "For all you Star Wars fans, a Darth Tater Mr. Potato Head will be released in February by Hasbro Inc. The new covers for the Episode III books due out a month before the movie were also posted today."

You don't say

That's arguable. In terms of number of life lost and monetary damage, you're absolutely correct. BUT... the tsunami was an unpreventable natural disaster brought about by natural forces (well, the effects could have been lessened with warning systems, but the quake is not avoidable). 9/11 was a completely human-caused event carried out by villians so evil it defies imagination. They were against "policies" so they decided to kill a few thousand mommies and daddies who in no way whatsoever decide where the US puts military bases or what countries to ally with. The tsunami killed over a hundred thousand people, but it was not an "evil" event.
why are you bringing up a 3rd topic? The parent and i were discussing 9/11 and the tsunami. Iraq was not mentioned once. Oh, and go ahead and say to a New Yorker, to his or her face, that 9/11 is some lame story. If you wanted a need for rhinoplasty surgery, i wouldn't be surprised if they gave you one.
