A Flood of Irony

If you think floods = drought alleviation, you would be wrong. In fact floods actually worsen water shortages. Perusing the top ten most read articles of the news (why search for the best when others do it for you?) the flooding in Gipsland (Victoria) came to my attention and, silly me, I thought 'Great! that's just what we need, lot's of rain'. No. Wrong. You are the weakest link. Goodbye. In fact flooding actually pollutes groundwater and watersources forcing people in the area to drink bottled stuff (contributing to tonnes of landfill created by plastic bottles every year) and is generally an all-round crap thing. Awesome. Just. Can't. Catch. A. Break. I think all the bad karma humanity has racked up over the years is finally biting us on the ass. Modest Prediction: human extinction by 2050.
