you do realize you bought a home in a desert right?

California has a long history of stealing water from other places, but this fine story highlights a rather extra Californian water story:

Developer builds houses in the desert. People buy them. People then figure out they just bought a house in the desert and that in the desert there is no water.

Just desserts? The Bou' sure thinks so, but then again the Bou' always had problems spelling desert and dessert.

I'll bid one bomb Bob

the united nations

Well with none other than the honorable Boutros Boutros Ghali as your emcee you had to see this one coming didn't you?

That's right: California is responsible for the United Nations.

You may know this organization as the precursor to the Empire in those 45 or so Star Wars movies, but in reality, well, umm,...anyway.

The United Nations was chartered in San Francisco in 1945.

Most of you that aren't Star Wars fans will recognize the UN as either the beginning or the end of the world. I for one, am pretty sure it's not the worst place to work in the world.
