A bit of humour

Our BOM staff must have trained in the LOTFAP

It's late Fall, and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.

Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.

Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.

But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?'

'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.

A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?'

'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to be a very cold winter.'

The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.

Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?'

'Absolutely,' the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.'

'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked.

The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting a ****load of firewood.'

Neighbourhood destruction - this is fantastic!

Just a brilliant way to seek vengence....M-i-L, ex-partner, former lover spurned... :evil:

This is for houses that are programmed in the Google GPS street directory. Just type in the address and watch your house being destroyed. Surname optional...

It's quite a resource hungry critter (plugin-container.exe) maybe better on faster cpu's.
 
This does not want to work on my laptop :!: :evil:

It gets as far as scanning after I put in the address but goes no further.

Yes it is...I had to shut down Firefox and start it again to clear out some memory before I tried this.

Even then, most of it was still quite slow. It "locked" Firefox for a bit so it looks like it's frozen your computer, but really isn't (you just need to wait; it'll hopefully come back).

I'm sure with a more powerful computer this wouldn't be a problem...
 
I didn't realise the take-up would prove so successful :o

Some interesting places have been nuked. The White House and the CBR QC...some people must have issues ;)

I tried those tricks and almost got there but not quite.

The most powerful computer I have is a Mac Book Pro with an I7 chip and 8 Gb RAM (max) so not much I can do.
 
My laptop only has 1GB of RAM and a 320G hard drive but it runs the program quite well so not sure why others should have any trouble.
