I overheard a snippet of conversation between three young men in the shared lunchroom here at work. The bit that caught my attention went thus:
Guy 1: "Is it, like, an anniversary of Karina or something?"
Guy 2: "Katrina was a setup."
Guy 3: "Oh yea, they totally saw it coming and did nothing."
Guy 2: "Like they couldn't stop it, its just water dude!"
It brought to mind an old Monty Python bit:
