The errors of definitions multiply themselves according as the reckoning proceeds; and lead men into absurdities, which at last they see but cannot avoid, without reckoning anew from the beginning.

Hurricane Rita and the Trivia of the Day
Question: When the Houston refugees are evacuated out of the collapsing Astrodome after Hurricane Rita, which is the next, closest domed stadium to where they can be bussed?
A. Superdome
B. Silverdome
C. Kingdome
D. Metrodome
E. Edward Jones Dome
F. Georgia Dome
G. Skydome
H. Hoosier Dome
Correct Answer:
F. Georgia Dome (Atlanta, GA - 793 miles)
Seven hundred and ninety three miles to the safety of the hurricane-resistant Georgia Dome. Perhaps New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin can proffer some "lessons learned" to Houston Mayor Bill White.
Then again, maybe not.
Other distances:
Silverdome (Pontiac, MI - 1389 miles)
Kingdome (Seattle, WA - 2442 miles)
Metrodome (Minneapolis, MN - 1230 miles)
Edward Jones Dome (St. Louis, MO - 890 miles)
Skydome (Toronto, ON - 1619 miles)
Hoosier Dome (Indianapolis, IN - 1113 miles)
Update: Or they could just all stay at this guy's house]
