Update To A Prior Post
Since I posted this image at the left a few days ago - a shard of wood apparently through a concrete curbing, resulting from the devastating tornado that went through Joplin, MO on May 22 - several different people have pointed out to me, either directly or indirectly, that perhaps there was actually a PVC drain hole in the curb that the wood went through.I'm still unsure after looking at the pictures, but only because I don't think I've ever seen such a creature - in real life, I mean. But then again, we don't get a ton of rain here, and when we do, we have all sorts of flooding problems, which drain-holes in curbs would PROBABLY alleviate!!
So if you find one other than the one below, send it to me, I'd like to see it.
Anyway the following pictures further explain what I'm talking about (click all to enlarge):

(Source)This is certainly just as possible if not more probable than the belief that wood could pierce concrete, although I'm sure it can... right? I don't know, but glad I had a comment on my original post in the first place, because it led me to this terrific post from one of the best places to go for stunning images of what's going on in the world - The Big Picture at Boston Dot Com.
Anyway, here are a few images I've found thanks to doing this update. Neither are concrete, but both are incredible... and guess where both were taken? That would also be Joplin, MO, 5/23/2011 (gulp!):

Play a game of 20 questions like you never have before. This guy is pretty darn good! I almost felt like he was reading my mind a few times. It is possible to stump him (stumped him with "the girl from 4E"), but I've only got about a 5% rate against him.
Click the banner image to go play a few times.. it's really quick and easy. Also addictive!

Before & After Bird's Eye Views Of Joplin, MO
Before and after photos of Joplin, Mo., have been floating around the Internet since the tornado swept through on [a week ago] Sunday — and one of the more striking comparisons is attributed to Aaron Fuhrman. We reached out to him and he shared several more photos, as well as his story. Combined with screen grabs from Google street view, these interactive images show just how devastating the damage has been.
Click the banner image above to see the before & after images, and be sure to click the "as seen from the street" link from that page, as well as the first link in the text above.

A great little story from Allie over at Hyperbole and a Half about how dogs react to the ordeal of packing up and moving to another home.

I was laughing so hard at this I couldn't stop.. And then I wondered why is this so funny? And all I could do is laugh some more.
