Making Tornadoes

[squirmelia]

Today, at work, I made a tornado. No metaphors involved, a real twisty misty swirl.

(Tornado-creating was just one of the exhibits at the Intech Centre in Winchester, a hands-on science type centre for children. My company held a departmental meeting there today, and the babble about green buttons and technical luvvies was soon forgotten when we got to try out the educational exhibits. "The hand is the cutting edge of the mind," it said outside the centre, quoting Jacob Bronowski.)

Nice new pic =) Shame there are no pics of the tornado, I've always loved watching them, especially amid thunderstorms and rain etc. I like the way the power of nature occasionally reminds us just how inconsequential we are ;)

"Today, at work, I made a tornado. No metaphors involved, a real twisty misty swirl. "

That was pretty much the first thing i read when i got to work, after hearing about a tornado that has just hit Florida on the radio on the bus.

Then I looked at your new user pic ( which is really good btw ) and thought you looked quite like Alanis Morissette when she plays god in a film (which I cant remember the name of).

So yeah, in the space of a couple of seconds I basically came to the conclusion that YOU are actually god, and for some reason you're inflicting florida with your godly powers of tornadoes and destruction.

good work god :)
