http://www.usatoday.com/weather/storms/winter/2010-12-12-metrodome-roof-collapses_N.htm MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minneapolis Metrodome, where the Minnesota Vikings football team plays, has collapsed during a snowstorm. The Metrodome is operated by the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission. Its executive director, Bill Lester, said Sunday morning the damage is being assessed and the agency will issue a statement later. He says he has no details yet on what happened. Minneapolis and much of the upper Midwest have been hit by a blizzard that has dumped up to 20 inches of snow in some areas. |

Wow. Good thing it wasn't during a game. What a nightmare that would have been. |

I'm surprised that it collapsed under the weight of "only" 20 inches of snow. After all, it's Minesooota. Shirley, there must have been some kind of design/structural flaw. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Ah, I see. Not enough hot air in Minnesooota. They need to go to DC to get some. |
