Asian death toll at 11,000 and rising.

this is a pic of the Four Seasons resort in the Maldives ... wonder if anything is left of it. I think "beach front" property resorts and tourism might take a nosedive after this

114,000 dead. This is the real deal, folks.
And to think it was 21,000 when I first heard about it :erk: I thought the dude here who suggested a potiential 50K was overreacting a bit, but know I feel like watching the dude in the stadium in Akira again...I've just given up expecting it to stop growing.
 
Just donated a whole bunch of $$ through my company who will then match the contribution which is cool.

Death toll = 135,000!!! 2/3 of which were kids.

Bush's admin now offering $350m which is a bit more like it. A couple of days ago they were going with $15m which is what they spend every 10 minutes in Baghdad.

Didn't read this whole thread though - did I miss anything?

There's some funny RC-humoUr toward the middle, and some supermodel pics, and a decent discussion on the nature of death, etc.

Yeah I donated a bunch of cash yesterday, didn't look into matching funds from my company, but we're pretty small so I highly doubt it.
