Shooting in Munich. Hope our German members are OK.
It's very uncommon here, Germany is a very safe place overall. I don't have any idea what may be going on in some sick people's mind.
Munich is in the south, while the 3 ML members I'm aware of are in Berlin (East, @jospoortvliet), somewhere near Frankfurt (Middle part, @Adaministrator) and Hamburg (North, me), so no one of us was closer than maybe 300km or so.
And @bytesnake is out west near the Rhine.

I wonder how many people we have in Germany that we don't know about.

Well, looks like no asteroid, I even gave it 10 days instead of 7. I like how the motto is "Exposing the truth, you decide", the truth isn't democratic or subjective, it's either 1 or 0.
@tonyshowoff said
And the week after next they pretend like they never made the prediction, as all conspiracy theorists do.
I noticed too that people are still commenting not realising that a week has more than passed.
I will say to @thanksajdotcom's credit this site does have some interesting articles though, and I don't mean to sound like I'm picking on him, rather I'm picking on the many web sites out there which do alarmist things like this and then pretend like it didn't happen.

I really have to look for the picture I shot in a shopping mall at a small Chinese-to-go restaurant back in 2012. They were selling DDD - Doomsday Duck - "and just today"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36882456What is this? Did somebody declare a purge or something?
Seems like every day somebody is going on a shooting spree somewhere else... Makes me sad to be a human.

:-S She alright?

Only people shot were between the ages of 12 and 27. So likely someone here's aunt was not affected. But she still has to live in Ft Myers so ahe has that to deal with.
-
@scottalanmiller Oh I know she wouldn't have been there. One, she's too old. Two, she's a JW, so she doesn't do clubs. And a good JW, so yeah... still...but my heart breaks for those families...

Yeah, the lengths they have to go through to prevent that are crazy, and I guarantee the ship is much worse off than the wall of the canal.

This is the new canal just one month old. Ships are three times the size that they were two months ago. They use tugs now instead of the mule trains.
