Randolph Well, "bite the dust" is a little bit tasteless, and because a tsunami implies "water", I decided that "biting the mud" was a necessary progression of the cliche.
531 people so far have died in another tsunami on the island of Java. This does not bode well for people in the area. Perhaps it's time to move inland? 220 000 dead can't be wrong.
And people wonder why I say Johannesburg is geographically the safest place to live. As long as you avoid being killed by lightning, the only thing we have to worry about is crime. And bad drivers. But mostly daytime television.
