So I hear. A proud way to be famous. Now when I say I'm from Iowa, and people ask, "Is that where you grow potatoes?" I can answer, "No, that's Idaho. Iowa is where Slipknot is from."

Bah. Tornadoes aren't that scary. At least you can (usually) get away from them...unless they suck you out of your basement hiding place as they occasionally do... :/

The snakelessness of Ireland is a negative, not a positive, Moonlit!
Turns out their absence is due to Ireland being an island, such that snakes never managed to migrate there (and survive):

Why Ireland Has No Snakes - National Zoo| FONZ
One thing these few snake-less parts of the world have in common is that they are surrounded by water. New Zealand, for instance, split off from Australia and Asia before snakes ever evolved. So far, no serpent has successfully migrated across the open ocean to a new terrestrial home. As the world's oceans have risen and fallen over the millennia, land bridges have come and gone between Ireland, other parts of Great Britain, and the European mainland, allowing animals and early humans to cross. However, any snake that may have slithered it's way to Ireland would have turned into a popsicle when the ice ages hit.

Popsicle snakes!

Dealing with incontinence must be frustrating. I've learned from my father-in-law that the diapers don't always hold all the urine, and so sometimes he has ended up with wet spots on his pants without any spares.
Today I have slept for 3 hours and then I looked up Ireland and snakes. The history of snakes and Ireland was kind of exciting to learn about, so so far it is been a good day.
