Reader comments of the week:
In Friday Sprog Blogging: extinction, Janet of Adventures in Ethics and Science relates a conversation between her elder and younger sprogs (ahem, children), in which it is decided that ants should be allowed to remain alive as a species only where anteaters are around to eat them—which does not include the Stemwedel house.
Reader Super Sally concurs:
No anteaters inside has always been a house rule of ours as Unlearned Hand remembers from days of yore.
Over on the Physical Science channel, Maria Brumm of Green Gabbro offers helpful guidelines for finding an earthquake-safe home in How to Find a Death Trap: A Guide for Apartment-Hunters. One hint: avoid anything built with "unreinforced masonry."
Reader Eric Lund offers his own suggestions for avoiding death by natural disaster:
For the strongest tornadoes (EF-5), there isn't much you can do. The best plan is to be somewhere else when it comes through.
Sounds like sage advice.
