A female performer with Cirque du Soleil has died after falling 50 ft in a performance in America. I suppose it's a wonder more haven't been injured as their performances are so daring and involves a lot of machinery. Apparently she slipped from her safety harness.
 
Well drought is to do with El Nino/La Nina which is affected by climate change. Sorry. :emoticon-0116-evilg

Indeed; there's no doubt that climate change is fueling it. But the Southwest is filled with conservatives who believe it to be a myth, no matter how frequently their states catch fire, and not too long ago tried to pray away a drought rather than contemplate what might be causing it.
 
they still didn't explain why it's called 90 mile beach .... and it's only 55 miles?????

There are several Ninety Mile Beaches in the World and I believe that either only one or none are of 90 miles in length. Of course 55 miles is very roughly 90 km [ok 88, but you get the idea], but to me, 90 Kilometre Beach doesn't quite have the zip to it that the real name has. :)

The West Coast beach on the South Island feels like it goes continuously from Haast to Greymouth and that would be well over 90 miles. More like double. Of course, you can't get to much of it without a good hike.
 
Some employees bought their boss a gift for his birthday. Before opening the gift, the boss shook it slightly, and noticed that it was wet in the corner. Touching his finger to the wet spot and tasting it, he asked, "A bottle of wine?"His employees replied, "No."Again, he touched his finger to the box and tasted the liquid. "A bottle of scotch?""His employees replied again, "No."Finally the boss asked, "I give up. What is it?"His workers responded, "A puppy."
 
Helium walks into a bar and orders a beer.

The bartender says "sorry, we don't serve noble gases".

Helium doesn't react.
