yeah while trying to launch it on a russian or chinese missile/rocket that fails.

Guess I'll have to take the Asian Tsunami - 28,634 dead.

ZenGum · 11-19-2008, 05:42 PM

Just from memory, I thought the tsunami (a) killed about 250,000, ten times your number, and (b) already happened, so is ineligible for the "next disaster tipping contest".

Carry on.

Clodfobble · 11-19-2008, 08:20 PM

San Francisco earthquake. 7,400 dead.

classicman · 11-19-2008, 08:56 PM

well allrighty then, I'll take another NATURAL disaster. Ice cap melts and kills you! There now you're dead and can't tell me I'm wrong. Pbblllttt!

ZenGum · 11-19-2008, 11:03 PM

Ahh, but what caused the ice cap to melt. If it was anthropogenic, you're disqualified. Again. :p

HungLikeJesus · 11-19-2008, 11:16 PM

What caused the ice to melt was about 144 Btu of heat input per pound of ice melted.

ZenGum · 11-20-2008, 06:45 AM

Here's an interesting question. If all the ice-caps melt, ocean levels would rise by about 150 meters.

How many Dwellars' dwellings would that flood? Is your house under 150 meters (roughly 500 feet)? Mine is.

We ain't afraid of no stinkin' meters.:p

Pico and ME · 11-20-2008, 08:10 AM

Im gonna be like Lex Luther and start buying up properties that are just a bit off shore.

Undertoad · 11-20-2008, 09:02 AM

27% of the Netherlands is below sea level.

/fun fact

Pico and ME · 11-20-2008, 09:08 AM

Along with nearly 10 million of its citizens...:p

HungLikeJesus · 11-20-2008, 09:36 AM
