    When you used to tell me that you chase tornadoes, deep down I thought it was just a metaphor.

    I must be tired. I read "Striking, Dramatic Photos of Tomatoes". Boy, was I disappointed.

    Holy *****, "In addition to typical land twisters, tornadoes may form over ... forest fires or volcanoes (firewhirls)" WTF! I would NOT want to get sucked up into one of those...

    Not saying they aren't good pictures, but only two of the pictures are of an actual tornado.

    Nat-Geo has great pictures, but need to release much higher-resolution versions.
    "1024x768: Best for larger monitors"
    Is this 1997?!
    1024x768 will be eclipsed by cellphone screens in a couple of years.

    I hate hate hate National Geographic photo gallerys. The photos are pathetically small. The friggen thing is inside some stupid iframe thing, and when you click on a thumbnail, it reloads the entire page, rendering whatever they've done in the middle there completely useless. I don't care how good the photos are.

    a tornado is Mother Nature's version of ''shock and awe.''
