Ex-Tabula Rasa

I shall try to define myself in a sentence with a pithy comment at the end:
I'm just an English bloke who lives in Canada after marrying a Canadian lady he met while living in Japan. Yeah, that old cliché.

Shameless Self-Promotion:
My utterly hilarious blog is here
And another one is here

Wow! I'm on Twitter now!
Averaging three stars a tweet since the death of Favrd!

Has any city planner or crisis cleanup group ever done a cost assessment to clean up cities after they’re destroyed in movies like Avengers?

One of the many things I think about during action movies. Who is going to clean this up? How much is it going to cost the city to rebuild? What about the economy of the city? Are the heroes held responsible for the mess they left? WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE DEAD PEOPLE?

This is why you should never go to the movies with me.

I believe clean-up is usually done by the good folks at Damage Control, Inc.
