ash sucky as it gets

Ghees luckily I opened this thread and read the replies in the privacy of my office, a ripper ;D
“Skerp, baie Skerp” Love it :wink:

Freekin hell they think it’s the end of the world and just last night I thought of what the repercussions of
a Vulcano tripple that size would be (wtf!!)I usually make sure I’ve got my diary in front of me when they close their eyes and yap yap on in the prayer thingy, catch up on the last few days Quote for the day, much more inspiring!

Jir and this Tannie didn’t for one moment thought of “watse k@k die Omie droog gemaak het dat hy so stressed up isi” Ugh well maybe she would come by in a few months time!

Good idea, I thought of trying the Buddhist angle.
Although before telling them this, I would recommend a site: Best Jobs ;D

i was thinking, rocking up in an orange toga doo-dabbie, with my sandalwood beads, chanting ‘ram ram ram ramma ramma ram’. and see their faces. alltho, im a total freak, so i doubt they would expect anything less from me.
i share an office with the local lesbian, coz im the only one who can deal with the sex-talk and giggling over the phone.
and, i quite think, nobody else want to be too close, just in case my weirdness rubs off.
of parents, i no longer have any, i havent spoken to any family for over 6 months now, so im sure i’ve been scrapped off the prayer lists. thanx bob for that.
luckily, my beau is faithless, as is his parents, his friends… conversation is very refreshing.

Eish… looks evil, I’m gonna mail that to a couple colleagues, bible study on Friday’s gonna be interesting… >:D

Firstly, my apologies for briefly going back on topic :slight_smile:
last week I received a mail which looked like this:

Subject: Fw: Acid rain alert

Hi

Be careful from the 20th to 28th of this month, There is possibility of an ACID RAIN. The dark circle appeared around the moon on 17th of last month and this is an indication of Acid Rain. Apparently this happens once in 750 years.

It rains like normally but It may cause skin cancer if you expose yourself to it.

So ALERT your dear ones. This information is from NASA.

DO NOT neglect. Plz Forward this to your friends, Better to be cautious than sorry.

I prompty replied to the sender that it’s a hoax. Now the ash will make acid rain? Aai-bo.

shit, win for the woo-woos.

Acid rian refers to any precipitation that has an acidic pH. Hence, there is kinda always a possibility of acid rain, and most people you know have probably danced in it…

Hahahaha! I would love to know where the knob got this from...

Dude, we do not really know what causes skin cancer, do we? What would NASA know about skin cancer anyways :stuck_out_tongue: or, frankly, about acid rain? the last time I checked, NASA was all about space-stuff?

This whole - “stay inside that day, better to be safe than sorry” shit makes it sound like they are planning to rob a bank or something and this is an elaborate hoax to get the security guard to call in sick that day… :-\

It’s still a hoax, and the above-cited is it. Dust and other contaminants in the upper atmosphere can change the appearance of celestial objects, but, at worst, being exposed to acid rain will cause mild skin irritation. The pH of acid rain isn’t low enough to cause acid burns on skin, let alone cancer, because it’s far cry from, say, dipping someone in a vat of battery acid. The thing about acid rain that kills vegetation isn’t its corrosiveness. It’s the repeated falling of acid rain that changes the soil’s pH, which plants are very sensitive to, and the leaching out of certain nutrients.
