An a capella group from Berkeley. I love their take on popular songs and this is my favourite - even though I've never actually heard the original!!

(Tornado at the Download Festival in Reading 2009)

That's not a tornado!


*This* is a tornado: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u3N9u08JzQ




the video is largely the early part of the storm. At the end is shown the full funnel which lasted for the better part of an hour.

'The tornado remained on the ground for an hour, cutting a swath of destruction 40 kilometres (25 miles) long and up to a kilometre (0.6 miles, or 3000 feet) wide in places, and peaking at F4[2] on the Fujita scale, but may have briefly become an F5.[3] The tornado killed 27 people, injured more than 300 people, destroyed more than 300 homes, and caused more than $330 million in property damage at four major disaster sites. The loss of life, injuries and destruction of property made it the worst natural disaster in Alberta's recent history and one of the worst in Canada's history.'

Regarding the exchange between myself and Anhaga between 1047 - 1052 in this thread.

I've been reliably informed that the track is not a riff of O Fortuna but is in fact by a duo calling themselves ES Posthumus, it's a track called Pompeii - you can find them on itunes and check it out, I have and it's correct.

This is their website.

Personally, I can't stop shooting fireballs out of my hands every time I eat a glowing flower.

No for epplieptics, I suspect.

Now *that* has got to be the quote of the day......

*Personally, I can't stop shooting fireballs out of my hands every time I eat a glowing flower.*

Let me guess you can't stop imitating Hellboy - ever since you grew a pint glass for a hand?

I was horny until I got cut off.

sorry, Clive, but that halucination one didn't work for me.
