Australia :-(

The body count is now over 125.

The fires are still burning and they're expecting an even higher toll by the time this is over with.

Over 1,200 square miles have been affected. Some towns have apparently been completely leveled.

Meanwhile....

The apocalypse has begun in Australia; nearly a hundred dead from wildfires, probably started by arsonists.

How awful.

Note to all aspiring terrorists:

These kind Australians (YouTube) have pointed out that you will likely have more success if you don't dress like caricatures of your ethnicity. Dress like a confused American instead!

Today's "Australians are badasses" story:

Link.
Teenager bothers electrician.

Electrician gets fed up and smacks teenager in the face with a chair.

Leg of chair goes into teenager's eye socket, downwards, into teenager's throat.

Teenager survives. Teenager recovers 95% of the vision in chair-impaled eye. Teenager "totally forgives" chair-thrower.

Australia, how I love you. And live in terror of you.
