To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

Assuming everything on the internet is fact, I found these with a quick Google search. (Thank you, Google.)
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art28614.aspEngland - The Real Tornado AlleyWhen people think of tornadoes, they generally think of the US and the infamous "Tornado Alley." But other parts of the world occasionally get tornadoes too. On December 7, 2006, a small tornado ripped through the Kensal Rise area in Northwest London, damaging over 100 homes and injuring a half dozen people, making international news. A tornado in England is enough to make people perk up and take notice - after all, it doesn't happen very often. Or does it?
Actually, the United Kingdom has the highest number of tornadoes per year than anywhere else in Europe - thirty-three recorded on average - although fifty to a hundred is estimated, due to some being unreported. Surprisingly, the UK has the highest frequency of tornadoes in the world per square mile. So if you think that "Tornado Alley" makes the US the tornado capital of the world, think again. They are, to be sure, the most damaging tornadoes in the world, but not the most frequent. By contrast, most of the UK's tornadoes are pretty small, and only rarely do any of them do any damage. Southern England, the Midlands, and East Anglia get the highest number of tornadoes. Scotland and Northern Ireland rarely get any.
In July 2005, a tornado in Birmingham cut a path of destruction over seven miles long, damaging as many as 600 homes. That was an F2 tornado (winds around 140 miles per hour). The most tornadoes at one time occurred in November 1981, when in a span of less than six hours, 105 twisters were formed by a very strong front. There was little damage, and nobody killed, as the tornadoes were very weak (this is the largest known European outbreak). Perhaps the deadliest moved through Wales and England in October 1913, resulting in many casualties. The strongest tornado recorded was in Plymouth in 1810, reaching wind speeds of 213 miles per hour (an F4). Tornado records in the UK go back as far as 1091, when a twister struck central London, destroying St. Mary le Bow Church and six hundred homes. Four of the church's twenty-six foot long rafters were driven so deep into the ground that only four feet of them were visible.
While tornadoes are measured on the Fujita Scale (F-Scale) in most of the world, the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TORRO) in the UK also has a system for measuring the intensity of tornadic storms, which they call the T-Scale. The T-Scale relies on wind speed for classification, while the F-Scale relies on the amount of damage from the tornado. T0-T3 indicate a weak tornado (39-114 mph), T4-T7 are strong (115-212 mph), and T8 to T11 (213-299 mph) are violent. Most UK tornadoes rate below a T6, with the strongest on record being a T8.

Wow... Thanks bud... I've always wondered because you always hear about them here, but not over there. Now we know (and knowing is half the battle)... :P
Ok... Now for my next question....
Do they get attacked by Killer Space Monkeys from the Planet Stinky like we do here, or just the common ones from the planet Burger King???? :P
I've always wanted to visit the UK. Mainly Ireland since I have family there... but I hate flying, and I'm afraid of water... So instead I'll drive to Canada and hang with Compucore and then drive to Mexico and hang with Astrozombbie.... Now where did I put my gas money?
Here's some "Dark Side of the Rainbow" for no reason at all...
