    At least you can still the sign. Not that bad really….right?

  2. bob says:

    At least you know you’re not on the riverbed.

  3. Lucifern says:

    Thank the gods that someone put that sign there.

  4. mattmaldre says:

    Shouldn’t they make flooding signs floatable?

    • Geary says:

      Well, there are lots of logistical problems with that, such as the sign just flopping upside-down or drifting away.

      • imnotreallyhere says:

        Not really. Two anchors and a wide, heavier base would keep the sign in place and oriented properly.

        • Geary says:

          Point, but I think if the water is this bad, nobody will see the sign and view it as helpful.

          • imnotreallyhere says:

            Yeah. Sometimes I get caught up in solving a problem before I ask whether the problem is worth solving.

          • BlueElephant says:

            Of course it would be helpful to have a floating sign. That way people could grab onto it and keep from drowning no matter how high the water is.
            Maybe in a more advanced society there will be floating signs everywhere in case there are random floods. Especially in deserts, that’s where floods really catch people by surprise.

            • MrsQ of Philly says:

              Zeppelins. Flood safety zeppelins.
              Also helpful for building space elevators.

              • Geary says:

                Zeppelins are quite awesome. If it weren’t for Hindenburg, we’d probably have a lot more.

                • imnotreallyhere says:

                  Yeah, that whole exploding in midair on camera thing with the burning bodies falling to the ground thing kinda did ‘em in. Where were the spin doctors when we needed them?

                  • Geary says:

                    To be fair, Hindenburg had tons of issues unrelated from it being a Zeppelin. If I recall, they were using an extremely flammable gas, which was also cheaper.

                    • Vila Restal says:

                      Actually it wasn’t the fact that Hydrogen was cheaper. The ability to mass produce Helium (which is safer and if it does escape, merely makes the crew and passengers sound like they’ve dropped off a bad Disney Movie :-) ) wasn’t widely known, and I believe only a couple of countries (I think the US was amongst them) had the know how to do this. The countries that did have the know how were not exactly fond of Germany and wouldn’t really allow them to buy the gas (except at inflated prices (excuse the pun :-) ) It’s sort of what happened in the 18th Century with the growth of Sea Travel and the British Empire. The British used Limes to prevent Scurvy when it was discovered that certain fruits and vegetables prevented scurvy. However the British knew that Lemons were far more effective, HOWEVER Lemons were grown in countries that were enemies of Britain and so Limes were used since they came from British Colonies or countries friendly to Britain.)

    I think the term “No S**t Sherlock” comes to mind :-)
