FTA "The islands north of Saipan are volcanic and are either unoccupied or sparsely populated."


Well, if they currently are sparsely populated they are about to become unoccupied.

Congratulations! You have collected the Trifecta of Trifectas, or Triforce of Trifectas, or Triforce of Internets as it is known by the elders.

Now use it to defeat Ganondorf... Dusseldorf... Dorf on Fishing... Brad Dourif.. a fancy hotel's Doorman... Man on Fire... and Firestar from Spiderman and his Amazing Friends.

While the storm raked across the Northern Mariana Islands and was targeting the small islands of Iwo To and Chinchi Jima, it was not forecast to hit any major land mass.

Residents of Iwo To and Chinchi Jima: "Well, that's a relief...dicks."

You people really need to look up the word 'trifecta' some day, and maybe use it properly.

You person really need to look up the other 500 threads that that has been discussed in some day, and maybe you'll see that we don't give a damn.

I would love it if NASA had an HD channel just showing live footage of Earth. No commercials, no soundtrack...just various five-minute shots of various areas.
