How many died in that fire Seahawk, I understand it was bad. Is Chicago commerating the anniversery. Oh, and sorry about the Olympics thing, but your better of without them, I have been through one here and you have to be really nice to stupid tourists for 2 weeks, its bloody hard. It was estimated, by Chicgo Historical Society records, that approximately 300 people died in the fire. 100,000. were left homeless, and there was $200,000,000. worth of property damage. Anyone know how much that is in today's dollars? www.chicagohs.org/history/fire.htmlThis is a cool link. It has a section on Al Capone that's interesting basic reading on his relationship with The Windy CIty. In addition, it has sections on The world's Columbian Exposition of 1893, A Century of Progress of 1933 Exposition, The Chicago "Black Sox," illustrating the 1919 World Series scandal, as well as several other interesting historical Chicago subjects. Thanks Darryl, but I'm not crying over the olympics "sadness." I would not look forward to navigating the city, on a daily basis, with the additional masses that that event would have brought to our already over-crowded streets, blvds, roads. and expressways. I'm already at the verge of road-rage on a daily basis. Lol. Thank the powers that be, that it will be someone else's baby to sit. Good Luck to them. I will not miss the added potential for terrorist targeting either. Besides, that's another seven years away, or so, who know's what the hell will be going on in the world at that time? Cheers all

WHAT THE F@@k IS GOING ON HERE PEOPLE?? WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN? ...NO KAOLAS IN THE TREES??? WHAT KIND OF PLACE ARE YOU PEOPLE RUNNING DOWN THERE???!!!SCREW HAVING THE KANGAROOS BOUNCING ALL AROUND IN THE STREETS LIKE SOME MUTANT 5FOOT TALL RAT WITH OVERSIZED FEET... LET THEM HOP OFF A CLIFF FOR ALL I GIVE A SHIT.. OR DID THEY REMOVE ALL THE GOD DAMN CLIFFS OVERTHERE TOO ? I DEMAND THERE BE A KOALA IN EVERY TREE NOW DAMMIT! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR AND WIPE THAT LOOK OFF YOUR FACE TOO MR! I REPEAT >:I DEMAND THERE BE A KOALA IN EVERY TREE NOW ! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR >> GET MOVING ... DO IT AND WHILE YOUR AT IT... TAKE MEL GIBSON BACK TOO .. MAYBE HE CAN HELP YOU WITH THE FRIGGIN KAOLAS... I TELL YA CAN"T TURN YOUR BACK FOR ONE DAMN MINUTE............ Stop yelling at me, its not my fault, kaolas are pissing bitting scratching machines, they may look all cute and cuddly, but when you corner one they are like demons on acid, and who wants that in a tree in thier backyard. Why do you think they call them "drop bears", cause they drop out of trees onto the unsuspecting like banshees from the deapths of hell. AS for Mel, well you have him now and theres no way we are taking him back, you all fell for his crazy lunatic antics in Leathal Weapon, what you didnt realise, but what we already knew, was that wasnt acting, that was Mel being himself. HMMMM ... terrified by cute cuddly kaolas are we.... well they can't be as bad as this...
