[QUOTE=Max Torque]

Or put on your best Scottish accent and recite:

“‘Twas in the month of December  
In the year of eighteen eighty-two  
The railways lines near Pevensey Bay  
Were buried under the snoo.  
All thro’ the night the blizzard fiend  
Did like a lion roar  
The snow rose up from inches three  
To inches three foot four…  
And ooooo the snoooooo…”

Is that the dreaded William McGonagall and his Tay Bridge Disaster?
