Somehow, it's the "Like 9/11" that gets me even more. The part of my brain that just REFUSES TO BELIEVE THAT THAT LEVEL OF STUPID WALKS THE EARTH is scrambling around for what, pray tell, 9/11 had to do with population density and natural disasters, hmm??
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I wonder what she thinks they could have done.
Duh. If you know the earthquake is happening, you can take all the population that is so large and play a bit of see saw on the fault line. You know? Like Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice with the dog on the bridge. A big game of teeter-totter.

Well, in a sense, they did know it was coming, and they planned for it fantastically. They have checklists and drills and emergency management plans all over the place. Unlike here, where I still don't have an earthquake bag, or even earthquake insurance for my house.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well, skyscrapers are highly correlated with centres of population density, you see? No skyscrapers, no 9/11!
Natural disasters are like terrorist attacks, of course, because you have to know they're coming.

Aims, I am sure she knows that she will soon be bitch-slapped by someone.

I'm sure our prof thought she was kidding. He looked at her like, "WTF? Candid camera?"

I look forward to the kind of magical thinking fuckery she will be teaching Michigan's youth, like how Japan could have avoided the tsunami by having its entire population jump into the air at the precise moment of the earthquake.

I just slapped my forehead so hard I'm sure some of my brains landed in her head.
Wanna borrow my cluestick? It's got a nice heft...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I air pop. I may reconsider that. My battle against grease is conflicted.
