No burnouts

Not me, this time. Thanks for checking. It was just an inch or so away from me on the map, though. SERIOUS devastation.

Yeah. That one was about five minutes walk from my house. I've posted pictures here at the cellar of that block. I might have even posted a picture of the bike shop adjacent to the now smoking crater where the three shops in the building next door used to be.

Here's the (youtube) audio of the MAYDAY call by Seattle Fire Department.

It is very scary at the start. Nine firemen sent to the hospital, all released by noon. No people in the apartments above the shops were harmed. I've shopped in all three of the businesses that are now gone.

Wild chimpanzees show some evidence of ritualized, perhaps religious behavior.

On the other hand, from the article:

Quote:

We humans share more than 98 per cent of our genetic material with chimpanzees. The many things we have in common include smartness, communications skills...

Hmm... maybe not so much, Daily Mail.

What's wrong with smartness, Google has 650,000 hits for it.

glatt · 03-04-2016, 01:20 PM

Smartness sounds wrong, but I just looked it up in both of my dead tree collegiate dictionaries, and it's in there in each. Not as its own entry, but as a form of smart.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-04-2016, 04:32 PM

It's a noun we don't hear often in this country, so it triggers a WTF.

'intelligentness' ain't a word. Well it is but it ain't a real word with a definition and creds.

Gravdigr · 03-04-2016, 03:05 PM

Is 'smartness' the same as 'intelligentness'?

Clodfobble · 03-04-2016, 07:57 PM

"Niggardly" is technically a word, too, but some words just sound like they shouldn't be said.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-05-2016, 12:13 AM

That's because of the whole politically correct racial thing though. Smartness is just lack of common usage.
