i just bought a house in nawlins and well shit:

really i mean you've got an engineering degree right? and you bought a house below sea level? i mean at some point God's universal ironyometer his a certain level and He has to do something
It's called spite. You can think of it a lot like entropy.
yes i have an engineering degree. i bought it even though its below sea level because as long as the levees break in another part of the city, that area is ok. it's why they dynamite the levees in the 9th ward, duh. i was more worried about the tree in the backyard falling on the house, but we're in the clear now, woo!
just wait til all the ice melts bc of global warming
