    I find it ironic that you're telling me to get a life when I am talking about true fluid dynamics on Slashdot.

    No, this is not some banal sketch.

    Claim: Tornadoes can occur in Utah.

    Fact: Storm Relative Helicity is not strong enough. I am a meteorologist you fucktard. I also have a minor in mathematics. I fucking worship Navier-Stokes. The very basis and somewhat primitive segue into the equations of motion that describe the atmosphere. SRH (as eluded to above) is not strong enough. Utah does not get tornadoes. Don't fuck with me or I'll summon Zeus and shove a lightening bold up your ass. You do understand lightening do you? Faraday? Electric polarity.

    God I fucking hate you.

    Since the 1700s, not a single earthquake in California that was over 6.5 has caused a tsunami there.

    The media is so shit, scare scare scare scare scare, controlling US citizens with a blanket of fear :(

    The problem with slashdot is that most of its users were bullied and stuffed into lockers as kids!
