Cool things happening in Omaha...
« on: May 23, 2007, 05:23:59 AM »
This will be a thread to try to prove that Omaha doesn't suck as bad as everyone thinks it does.

First off:

SWEET RAPTORHAMMERHEAD JESUS! A female Hammerhead shark has given birth without the aid of a male, at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/22/AR2007052201405.html

Apparently, Hammerhead sharks can reproduce asexually.

Edit: dammit, I didn't even notice it was in the wrong forum. me am smart. ](*,)

"Talk all about the US/EURO TG-16/TE/TurboDuo here."

Screw that, let's talk about sharks here instead! :wink:

Omaha - College World Series.  :clap: 

I'll make the trip in some future year when my alma mater qualifies & I'm damn wealthy.  :|

We also host Berkshire Hathaway's stockholder meeting, so everybody should buy a few hundred shares and come visit this fine berg.

Omaha f*cking rocks!  It's where the first US settlers lived when they arrived on the Santa Maria.

Omaha is the birthplace of Bob Gibson and Strategic Air Command so it can't be all that bad!

Oh, wait....yes, it is!

Seriously, man, Omaha is full of Cornhuskers and is a pretty inhospitable place for nerds like us.

Although Nebraska is the home of 2x4 and 2x4 is quickly becoming my favorite poster here so I guess I will have to make my peace with Nebraska, if not Omaha.

Is that because 2x4 is a true American like us?  Someone start a USA thread so we can chant USA USA USA in it and feel our pride with no gayfag hippies around to ruin it.

UofN-Omaha.  The whipping boys of college hockey.  Although they've put together some good squads the past couple seasons.

Sadly, because of SAC, I'm sure there are still a lot of foreign nukes pointed right at Omaha.

Omaha can't be too bad of a place to call home.  Thanks to the internet and EMS, anyone can be a nerd anywhere!

Two words - Omaha Steaks.  Yummy cow muscle, you know you want some.  =P~

Omaha is also the birthplace of the 38th President of the USA - Gerald Ford.  Not that I expect anyone to really care about such trivia, as grilled meat is obviously far more important.

The college world series annoys the hell out of me. Our rush hour traffic is bad enough as it is, and the CWS makes it so that any given trip between 4:30 and 6:30 will take an hour.
