hah, I'm a civil engineer. Never heard that joke before

you guys should make more videos like this!

[machelli]

@spectrem Well, now you've got a real zinger for parties!  And don't worry; we definitely will make more videos like this.

There's always the second option: make all the buildings out of Shamwow.

Five stars... if they still existed.

Not to be serious or anything, but after the 1900 hurricane destroyed Galveston, the residents raised the ground level of the whole city, in some areas by over 20 feet. Why not do something similar in NO?

i love you guys... good point made very funnily

[brno22504]

Your premise is wrong 80% of the city is at or above sea level. The netherlands is an entire country protected by levees and canals; which separate it from an ocean! Plus no one from New Orleans says Narlins or Nawlins or whatever bullshit you just spewed.

I love you guys!

@boportsmouth dat klopt ;)

[machelli]

@boportsmouth This is a good point. The worst the English Channel will do is suggest a sit down with tea.

@mickeyhoyle You guys also have a gigantic robot damn contraption on your side.....The flood waters fear it almost as much as the zombie ninja pirates... Also when was the last time the Netherlands were struck by a hurricane?

[boportsmouth]

@whitemagick4 Yeah but the Dutch are pure magic.....if anyone can make levee's work they can.
