I've gotta say, the "Happy Eofys" pop-up video on the side kind of takes away from any seriousness.

Oh, I get it, because it's in Australia! Hurr!

How will Obama be blamed for this one?

Obligatory

I'm thinking that the subby read it on the Brisbane Times web site and assumed that the tower was in Bris-Vegas.

\all time scary disaster movie for me, though, was a made-for-tv one where people got caught on a warren truss bridge that collapsed, that looked just like the one in my town....

They'll start with teleprompterLOLs, then post an Obama/chimp face morph, then it's all defense ("how dare you question Rush").

piss off subby all I see are those farking font boxes.

When skyscrapers in Australia catch fire, do they fall down, or up?

*insert Towering Inferno reference here*

/not clever enough to pull it off

so why is there a huge UFO at the top of the smoke, clearly just floating there, and nobody's talking about it?

jeez, I just hope it doesn't collapse in perfect free-fall....those concrete and steel buildings are prone to that, you know...

9/11 was an inside job.

Everything will be fine, as long as it doesn't spread to Vienna.

This happened about 5 blocks from where I'm working and I found out through Fark.

/Still don't really care though.

Good to see that there is still a call for on-scene, impressionist oil painters in today's job market.

FlukeBoy: jeez, I just hope it doesn't collapse in perfect free-fall....those concrete and steel buildings are prone to that, you know...

Well, if they flew a plane into the building causing severe structural damage, it might collapse.

Well, I'm not in New York but I do have a view of Logan Airport... No daffodils, please, I'm allergic to them.

I heard the Jew in Australia was told by Mossad to stay home today.

So you explain to me then how those pictures showed up so quickly? The fire only lasted 21 minutes. The cameras must have been in position before the fire started. It's the only logical explanation.

No, it refers to guerrilla fighters in the American Civil War. It's typically associated with rural groups in Missouri. The Kansas version were the jayhawkers. They weren't very good fighters though, as evidenced by the fact that we burned Lawrence.

Irony is just a myth around these parts.

How long did it take you to type that out, subby?

Farker T: When skyscrapers in Australia catch fire, do they fall down, or up?

Neither. Fire can't cause a steel-framed building to collapse.

They're New Zealanders, I think. I met one at Auckland Airport when I was a kid.

I was laughing at that, too, and wondering what intern was fiddling in photoshop - I bet the picture is actually really pixellated so they made it more "artistic" to clean it up. Or something.

They're actually from New Zealand.
