Kathamandu: Before And After The Devastation
As the death toll in Nepal tops 5,000 (with some fearing it could reach 10,000) the devastation across the country is unbelievable (with the Nepalese government stating 130,033 homes destroyed). Nowhere is this more evident than in its capital Kathmandu...
Ancient buildings in Basantapur Durbar Square...
Only the base of Dharahara, also called Bhimsen Tower - a nine-storey tower built in 1832 - remains after most of it collapsed in the 7.8-magnitude earthquake
Remains of the temples in Patan Durbar Square reduced to rubble by the earthquake
A pillar and statue of Garuda, a Hindu divine character, is partially damaged after the earthquake
A satellite image shows Kathmandu’s historic centre before the earthquake, left, and after, right
And finally, satellite before and after images show an area of ground in Kathmandu used as an open air shelter after the earthquake.

Disgusting. Looks like God did not approve.
On the other hand, those built by the ancients (as opposed to our ancestors) like the Great Pyramid remains standing with little to no damage.
Like stonehenge?
I played cricket with some kids in that square/ field 16 years ago.
A harmless, sympathetic people.
May the universe bless them.
how many did you buy for sex, there Gacy?
Pretty hard to knock down an almost solid pyramid shaped structure though.
Those fallen structures are hollow inside.
How do you suppose God is doing with the millions of animals killed daily in the US?
USDA slaughter stats 2008
Cattle: 35,507,500
Pigs: 116,558,900
Chickens: 9,075,261,000
Layer hens: 69,683,000
Broiler chickens: 9,005,578,000
Turkeys: 271,245,000
No wonder prices for turkey meat are so cheap.
Bankers: 0
(Excluding nailgun accidents)
Bastiat above, absolutely, spot on. Correct.
Full marks.
Any wonder the US is full of "Chickens" and "pigs" and "Cows" on the road and in it's malls?
We are what we eat and Karma is true...

Bringing morality into explaining natural disasters is quite a religious argument by itself. Pompeii was destroyed either because it was finally the time for Vesivius to erupt or because Pompeii was submerged in sin. By those standards it's time for Yellowstone super volcano to start smoking over all the porn spread around the globe from the US.
putting some fucking KC masterpiece on em and then its turn and burn, bitch!
Yummah!
Human Fetuses: 1,200,000
They are unwanted, unloved. Life isn't perfect. If it's ok for humans to slaughter billions of animals every year and don't kid yourself, these animals die in horrible fear, then anything that reduces human population without suffering is a good.
It's becoming a battle for survival for the entire god damned planet and ecosystem. At the present rate we are fucked. Billions of people will die anyway.
And carrots and apples? What are the numbers there?
Time to make better choices.
The wookie is especially hateful for carrots and apples. Just another form of herbicide.
And carrots and apples? What are the numbers there?
Time to make better choices.
What about the number of mosquitos swatted and killed...and the number of ants stepped on and smashed...how many?
Billions and Billions on Captiva Island alone!
Not just killed - *tortured* and then killed.
:(
quit your sniveling and "enjoy" your fucking tofu and bean sprouts, you pencil necked little fucking eloi pixie-boi. Real men are talking about barbeque here, son.
I'm female you foul-mouthed halfwit.
Bruce Gender, is that you? I still have one of those Wheaties boxes from '76!
Learn To Trap Your Food
Learn to provide your food, yourself. No torturing, no steroids, no anitbiotics. All natural, free range and organic wild game.
If you're going to eat meat, that's the right way to do it.
Ate groundhog and muskrat once. Will stick with beef.
Not nearly enough Turkeys, Pigs and Chickens getting killed. Add a few million to each.
I hope God has a picture-in-picture tv so he can watch the Hell Channel as both Pol Pot and Colonel Sanders are continually spit-roasted and carved up into gyros.
I LOVE ANIMALS TOO, BASTIAT!...on the grill and in my belly!
Wow, more than 9 billion Broiler Chickens slaughtered in 08....they are tasty though...mmmmmm.....
Those pictures are completely stupa frying.

A real shame. perhaps next time they'll use a little bit of steel rebar and concrete. Just sayin.....
In 19th century buildings?
That stinks.
Well, that was easy to get off my Bucket List.
Just to think though that Simon Black probably had vintage wine with the Dali Lama... darn! ;-)
ROFL! after he rode his hang glider in, towed by crested cranes? He'll find some gold in what's left of a shop for under spot, just wait for his next article.
Commander fucking McBragg aint got shit on that guy.
A real shame...but absolutely a Krugman dream...destruction is the new positive!
I'm going all in The Nepalese Stock Market !!!
it's called the Hillary Syndrome. when she passes wind, the ripple effects go directly through to Nepal.
Hillary should be sent to The Hague for war crimes whenever she rips one...poor Bill. Poor ozone layer.
Can't we harness her?
"Can't we harness her?"
Yeah...to pull a wagon....
7.8 is very powerful, even with Cali's update building code it would be a big killer, especially in SF which lacks a hard rock base.....
Yeah, and like LA has a Hard Rock Base? It's built on Jello
"The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars."
Figure it's a harbinger of things to come?
Mother nature, reshuffles the deck... Cali is long overdue for the same RE-arrangement.
Krugman dream come true!
Now time for a little Bastiat: http://bastiat.org/en/twisatwins.html#broken_window
Someone check to see if Bob Seger is ok!

So one of the worst earthquakes since at least 1832, if not much further back.
If that geologic stress makes its way to the Yellowstone Caldera you can kiss the U.S. bread basket and corn belt goodbye.
If that stress makes it to the Canary Islands, you can kiss the east coast goodby.
win, win.

When I see the word Kathamandu I always see Klendathu

A friend of mine once sent me one gram of hash via AirMail from Kathamandu. The hash was rolled wafer thin and placed in the AirMail envelope sandwiched between two pieces of paper with a little note letting me know it cost $0.10 per gram. It was the best hash I ever smoked bar none. If you are ever in Nepal Kathamandu be sure to sample their hash, it's the best in the entire World IMHO.
A big lump of hash in 1986 cost about 50p
And somewhere, some poor person is breaking this news to Bob Seger.
In Kathmandu 1986 there were still piles of rubble from the hellish 1934 quake. But then ,round here, there were still derelict areas from the hellish Luftwaffe attacks 1940's until fairly recently
The Germans were energetic enough to rebuild completely rather than allow ruins to merely mar the landscape. But then, Britian is becoming BriArabia or perhaps PakiNorth or something similar.
The Islamic State of the United Kingdom
But everythings in order, the old aristocrats havn't abandoned the HMS British Empire; the Duke of Westminster topped up with a mere 37.7 million the other day so he ain't grousing.
My best wishes to the good folks in Nepal. Nepal was one of very few places in the northern hemisphere that I considered moving to 4+ years ago before I settled on my spot in the southern hemisphere. The folks in the more rural areas (the only places I explored) were wonderful.
