Move along folks- nothing funny here…
I agree. Anyway, you leave a TAP running not the sink. Lame lol.
Sheffield, UK
Yup, Kelham Island, Sheffield. Man-made island that flooded in 2007.
How DARE you!!! People DIED in the floodings last year!!! If you laugh at this you are SICK!!!!!!!!! (Oh, and you deserve to see your children being abused by a camel.)
)
.

Okay. I admit to making that a bit too obvious. I just wanted to feel what it’s like to do that.
Halp! Halp! Save me from the troll!

How did that work for you?
Thanks for the help!

Yeah, TAKE THIS DOWN IMMEDIA-
Hang on, that doesn’t look like America. False alarm, 5 stars!
…and it’s not Texas! 10 Stars!
Nice rho. Nice.
Actually, I think one guy did die… they were evacuating from his house, and he fell in, getting a good stomach full of raw sewage…
Yes. I know people tend to die in floodings, I remember there being reports of a handful (don’t remember exact number, and for once I am too tired to google it) last year. Otherwise I wouldn’t have thought of trying that particular type of comment. ;oP
Actually two died, an old man who was trapped getting out of his house, and a school-child who got too close to the river on his walk home.
I am from Sheffield, and was the child’s mentor in secondary school.
In that type of flood it was impressive there were only two fatalities…
My aged mother lives east of Doncaster, so she was safe… One of the good things about being born on one of the few hills in Lincolnshire, the extended family and the ancestral pile are save from most natural disasters.
That’s not fair, camels raped my grandmother! ; )
A moose once bit my sister..
Mind you, moose bites can be pretty nasty…
I was bit by a zebra once.
Wahhh, I want the Internet to be a nice place where people don’t laugh at other people, wahhh.
More specifically it is taken on Alma Street, Kelham Island, Sheffield. The pub in the picture is the Fat Cat.
What caused the flooding?
Lots of water
LOL! Excellent! Did you mean to set FBR up like that, eddie?
Of *course* he did!
*winks at Eds*
uh, yeah, yeah I did.. hehe.. hehe
The fact Sheffield has wholly inadequate flood defences and has done since the 1980
It’s George Bush’s fault! He don’t care about Blac…uh..British people!!!
I was waiting for that one. You made my day.
The wettest May-July since records began and geography. Sheffield has five rivers, Don, Rivelin, Sheaf, Porter and Loxley and many more smaller rivers and streams that topped their banks.
You missed out that a lot of streams were culverted in the late 1800s to become sewers, which promptly came back too…
Ew.
Wait, Hannah, “The wettest May-July since records began and geography”, can you clarify that? Since geography began? Oh no I get it. Geography partially caused the flooding.
*talks to self*
*stands near Charro so it will look like she’s having a conversation*
At first I wondered if this was Cedar Rapids, Iowa (USA) as I did see similar pics from there last summer, about 2 weeks after I passed thru.
I worried that maybe I was the one to leave the sink running…….
We had horrible flooding in southern Wisconsin that spring as well. Tons of melting snow and the wettest spring on record…what a mess.
Looks like hendrik haan been there…
ow I know Hendrik, he left “de kraan” running for 7 weeks or so
stupid guy
wow…lots of water
same guy who left the faucet running
He’s the guy that let the dogs out too.
Who let the dogs out?
I rather like the sign in the back advertising an island. Seems they’ll be needing a lot more of those. “Grocery Island.” “Post office Island.” “Island Island.”
Kelham island is actually a converted steelworks on the riverbank, so I don’t think it did too well as an island in the physical sense
Clever Brits. Converted a disused steelworks into an island, wow. Does Pittsburgh know about this?
You’re more likely to die from an asteroid hitting the earth than in a flood. Chance of asteroid death = one in 30,000; flood death = one in 250,000… and your chance of dying from food poisoning is one in 3 million.
Just thought I’d point out that dying in floods isn’t actually all that common.
There seems something inheriantly wrong in that statement. I would agree an asteroid is far mor deadly, but floods are far more common, and happen to far more people. perhaps it is uncommon to die in the floods themselves, but certainly the effects of floods. We have plenty of evidence that perhaps it is unlikely, people die in floods often enough for one to worry over another’s safety
It could be the chances of a fatality should those things happen, maybe.

I know I am going to regret asking the question, but what is that, Pirate King?
braille.
It’s a Rorschach test. See how that handsome guy is pinned down on the railroad tracks? Then there is the fair maiden, walking to the road from her broken down car? Then there’s the unicorn…and the playful elves…and the string quartet…
And the dryads, sprites, sylphs and a pegasus.
Darn. All I see is a doggy wagging his tail. And I used to be so bright. Too much time Commenting, I guess.
Where do you get your numbers from?
My first guess is “pulled out of Kezi’s arse,” but I’m usually flamed for such.
So one in every thirty thousand people die being hit by asteroids?
I can see that happening up here in the space over Tatooine, but not on Earth.
My guess would be that in the average human lifetime there is a one in two hundred thousand chance of there being an asteroid collision with the Earth that would kill all six billion of us.
Or it might have just been made up on the spot.
Either way, I agree with you that it seems unlikely that one in every thirty thousand people dies from being hit by an asteroid.
It seems like a somewhat misinterpreted example of “doing anything with statistics” (often a useful lesson). If you live very high up in the mountains, or in a place where it very rarely rains massively, etc., the statistics are of course different than if you live in a swamp-like area with common down-pour-storms. I mean, if I lived in the Atacama desert, I would wory much more about asteroids than about flooding.
(I mean that the original comment by Kezi looks like a “statistics-bastardization”-bastardization, not your post. That came out unclear.)
i wonder if they count the tiny sand sized specks after reentry
Tiny specks are killers!
*swats at tiny specks*
Since thousands of people have died in floods since the turn of the century, and none have died from asteroids, I question your facts.
I guess I’m just wondering what the heck this has to do with politics…
it’s news. this is lol news and politics
and since a lot of people in the area won’t be back in their excrement filled homes until middle of 09, it’s still current.
Did you read ‘lol’ as ‘old’?
Otherwise you make no sense.
I think he’s saying “it’s still current,” as in “it’s a current event.” Otherwise it wouldn’t be news/current event, but recent history.
Well it’s high tide someone talks about current events!
Pittypat: huge funniness win.
I shall not easily be effluenced by such a
sedimental tributary.
it was the wet bandits
Hah! Home Alone ref for the win!
This photo was taken in Sheffield, North England.
how can leave the sink running?
you can leave the water runing – yes
but the sink? does it run on diesel or what?
i’ve left out ‘you’
whoops
I did
