If you guys win, you can have the beach.” But, sadly, not to the tune of “When you’re a jet, you’re a jet all the way…” Then they devolved into flipping the bird, whooping, and shouting indecipherable vulgarities. Because why wouldn’t you take people yelling obscenities while wearing floral-print swimsuits seriously?

And, like some hideous pod creature, its getting bigger.
The recent flooding in the Midwest is sending farm runoff-laden waters cascading down the Mississippi and into the Gulf, where the Dead Zone has already grown to the size of Maryland. Nutrients from the fertilizers cause an overgrowth of algae, which suck all the oxygen out of the water. These spreading algae cause a Red Tide. Billions of Vacheron Constantin replica watches organisms called dinoflagellates bloom in the water, turning the waves as reddish-brown as a shark attack.
