Are we really the most intelligent creature on earth?

Um, I have to revert to the Men in Black Quote "A *person* is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it"

Landslide Destroys Homes

OK, so I have a billion dollars, I want to build a massive home for myself and my 5 cars. I need 18 Bedrooms, 14 Bathrooms, and a 10 car garage (just in case I want more cars.) Oh yea that's the spot! See, right there on the side of the hill that looks like it has been falling into the ocean for the last few centuries. Build my home right there!!

I just read another article about the dangerous locations people are building houses. There is a quote in there (that I will butcher) that says "In Salt Lake City people are building their homes right up next to the cliffs in some areas." See all those home sized boulders right next to your house, yea those fell of the cliff at some point in the last few hundred years. What makes you think one won't fall on your house?

My favorite part about that article... Landslide picture

Notice the brand new homes right next to the slide, I've got 10 bucks that says they finish those homes and someone is living there within a year. That person will of course sue the builder when it falls into the sea, because I'm too dumb to look around and you didn't tell me that my house was built on unstable ground.
