See, when I see things like that I don't know whether to cry over the fact that people like that exist on this planet, or laugh at it's absurdity.

I opt for crying.

What's the death toll at by now? Does anyone know?

They're saying over 160 000- but more than likely, that number could double with the disease that is expected to set in at any moment now.

This match will apply to all donations made before January 11, 2005 and your donation made in that time can continue to be claimed on your 2004 tax return.

even more incentive for those that are able to give to give more.

the founders of musicworld just donated 5 mil today so thanks to the canadian govts initiative to match that donation, that means an additional 5 mil will be donated :love:

Although it's not as huge as any government, or private donation, the users over at easytree.org managed to raise over $3000 US to donate. That's pretty awesome for a website to do.

The whole thing still seems unreal to me... I realize I shouldn't be talking, seeing as I was safe at home, thousands of miles away, but even so... it's hard enough for me to imagine that many people living in an area, let alone dying.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It seems like some kind of horrible disaster movie. :neutral:
