By the way, they actually have tour companies that shuttle people to the nearest hotbed of supercell activity to give people a first-hand perspective of tornado chasing.
That market sounds ripe for a computer game.

Would anybody here like to take a vacation in the Great Plains and chase tornados for two weeks on end? God, I think I would be in heaven. You have got to love the beauty of mother nature and her tools for population control.

While it can be risky in the way that morons bring their surfboards to the tsunami for the big waves (hey, if it's on TV, there's no danger, right? ;))... but I can completely see where the thrill comes from.

Just watching a massive fog bank menacingly hover over the Santa Cruz mountains along the coast here is an experience where you can visibly see nature as a living, breathing creature. It's too big for the eyes...

Growing up where a tornado took out my grade school, I can definitely see the "weather tourist" enjoyment in that as well.

I have been stalking Catarina Furtado -- host of the RTP program, Dança Comigo -- since I was in Portugal a couple months back. Since then, I have started developing feelings towards her finer footwear, and now I am very confused.

I have never developed feelings towards women's shoes before, and I have heard very bad stories of genuinely great guys who have shamefully turned to lewd relations with women's socks ... because they weren't very careful. This won't happen to me, will it?

I am not used to these feelings and am not sure what to do with them. Do you have any suggestions? Please help!

Dear Confused,

Based upon the photographic evidence you have provided, I suggest opening a shoe repair shop across the street from Ms. Furtado's studio. Then when you get hold of her fine footwear, never let go. Fap that shoe like it owes you some money. Don't accept any substitutes, and only use sock for cum catchers. Otherwise, you'll end up like Andy.

And might I add that those shoes are fapping amazing. I'll take the left if you haven't bought my Christmas present yet.

The refs have continued their trend of incompetence today in the Lecce-Brescia game, when Lecce player Osvaldo blasted a shot that the Brescia keeper saved inches before the goalline, only to have the assistant signal it a goal....it wasn't even close !!!

I wonder if Zeman will accuse the refs of cheating !!!:D

Eight students in possession of the Dutch nationality will receive their diploma in reciting the Qur'an today at the Islamic University of Rotterdam. It is the first time a so called Ijazaa-ceremony takes place at a university in the Netherlands.
The eight students have studied the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, and have learned to recite it according to ancient traditions that date back to the seventh century when the prophet Muhamed lived.
Reciting the Qur'an is a huge task in itself, making use of old phonetic and grammar rules in order to achieve perfection. The holy book is read according to specific patterns, called riwaya. The most widely used in the Netherlands are Warsh (a style usually found in the Moroccan community) and Hafs (used by other Muslims).
The education is a two-year programme, those who wish to enroll must already be able to read the Qur'an.

Sounds like the most pointless education, but maybe there's more merit to reciting a book than I can conceive of. Then again people pursue the strangest topics, I heard one guy did a phd in the letter 'a'.

Oh there is no basis. It can depend on available police forces or anything else random you can think of. I once had to spend an extra 300 euro to reschedule my flight cause they randomly moved a Coppa game.

Good luck, be brave.

That's not really the point.
