Cash that's hysterical
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

MPEG movie of the MESSENGER spacecraft's gravity-assisted swingby of Earth
And it only took me until "MESSENGER" to realize that, no, it wasn't a link to an MPREG movie. Thank goodness.
That was really cool, that link.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ya know, Roddick's mojo is quite unattractive.

What happens when evacuees go a week without medical care? Bad things.
BRAGGS, Okla. (AP) -- A total of 51 Hurricane Katrina evacuees at the Camp Gruber shelter in northeastern Oklahoma have been taken to hospitals for medical treatment.
The American Red Cross says more than 200 others were treated for minor ailments and injuries at a shelter clinic.
Red Cross spokeswoman Nellie Kelly says a 58-year-old woman died late Sunday night after being taken to a hospital.
The Red Cross set up a separate mental health clinic because several evacuees had not taken their psychiatric medication since the hurricane struck six days ago.
A kidney transplant patient was taken to a hospital because he had not received his anti-rejection medications.
Many evacuees complained of swollen feet. Most of them have spent at least 24 hours on buses after being turned away from sites that were already full in Texas.

NEW ORLEANS, La. (AP) — A week after Hurricane Katrina, engineers plugged the levee break that swamped much of the city and floodwaters began to recede, but along with the good news came the mayor's direst prediction yet: As many as 10,000 dead.

If I only had a brain...
Remember the FEMA head saying "Nobody expected a disaster of this scale"? And that nobody expected the levee to break?
Well, the guy who briefed him before the hurricane says he lied.

As many as 10,000 dead.
I don't think it's going to be that high. Time and again we get these dire predictions only to have the actual numbers fall short of the worst case scenario. Remember the predictions of 6000+ dead in the WTC?
That said, I think this disaster will equal or exceed 9/11's death toll, and 5000 is probably not out of the question.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think it is going to be at least 5,000. I would believe 10K though.
I think it was 5K right after the hurricane went through. I think another 5K+ died from neglect.
