Actually, I've never seen a fly drop dead. I usually have to chase the bastards around with the swatter!

But with the heatwave driving up outside water temperatures, plants have been forced to cut output because of limits on the temperature of the water they release.

Because the "natural" water temperature is higher than the "heated" temperature, perhaps?

[Jack Wilson]

What a sight, all those bodies slumped over their hollandaise...

[rockfish59]

This is 132 feet tall and was built as a tribute to the hottest temp ever recorded in Death Valley (132*)

So quit whining ya' bunch of surrender monkeys!

[Fledermaus]

The poor French.

But when you deal with the devil, you get burned!

[John Lenin]

Don't forget what Dusty Baker said about whites being weaker in the heat than dark skinned people. Looks like the Islamics will takeover before we know it ...

[McGavin999]

Geez, what is WRONG with these people. We're used to 115 degrees all summer long, and our military is putting up with 130 degrees and they live in tents.

Don't they know they're supposed to drink lots of water and make sure they get a little more salt in their food during heat waves? Haven't they ever heard of putting a wet sheet in front of a fan?

[Zeroisanumber]

The compassion of the posters is overwhelming. Perhaps we can start performing late-term abortions and shooting children while we're on this "screw the old, so long as they're French" kick?

Weakest 'drop like flies' as 50 die in French heatwave

Hmmmm, French Flies. Maybe if they were Freedom Flies, they'd survive a battle, even if it is only with the heat.

Well....it's time for Europe to modernize, isn't it? I mean, there's no excuse. The backward Middle East has AC. It IS available for purchase all over the planet. You think the Londoners and Parisians et.al would think buying AC units for just such times would be worth their LIVES! It's simple- you can't predict the weather, this could be a trend, upgrade the wiring, upgrade the power grids and get a couple of boatloads of AC units brought in.
Freon bring civilization. Civilization needs freon.

[Nick Danger]

Lemme get this straight. You tellin' me that this here Global Warming kills the French?

Well, Yee-Haw! Time to gas up the ol' SUV.

[Itzlzha]

Nuclear plants have been forced to reduce their electicity output by the intense heat and industry chiefs held an emergency meeting with government officials yesterday to discuss how to stave off power cuts.

WTF?!?!

As we all know, those pesky U-232 atoms HATE a warm, sunny day! They just NEED to shut down the reactor, since NOTHING inside it is air-conditioned, nor is the reactor itself under ANY sort of controlled enviroment!

Jerks...no wonder they STINK!

This is a Frog Gov't. plot at forcing the populace into such discomfort, that they will accept the Watermellon EnviroMENTAList indoctrination into the whole "Global Warming" crap!

[Porterville]

So how many French are left???? Can we lay claim to their natural resources before the Spanish and the Italians once the French are gone??? I figure the typical French person is probably running up to Denmark or Norway because they are afraid of the heat wave, the rest will die, so that should only take a couple of days at the most.

[hattend]

Okay you tech dudes. Why do you cut back on nuclear output when the heat gets bad? It's a steam generator.

[Cogadh na Sith]

"The situation is very serious. There's no more margin for manoeuvre, it's essential that citizens are ready to accept the consequences."

Now isn't that exactly what the US said about Iraq? Almost verbatim?

Screw those sweaty stinky cheese eating surrender monkeys. Let them surrender to the heat!

[SC DOC]

Go HAARP!
