We don't need no water....

As you may or may not know (I for one did not, but fortunately for me the internet makes me appear both intelligent and insightful) today marks the 138th anniversary of the great Chicago fires. Thanks to the O'Leary's cow kicking over a lantern in a barn, 200+ people died, 17,500 buildings burned, 100,000 people were left homeless. All in all an estimated 200 million dollars in damages occurred, which today would equal roughly 7 billion dollars.

Bad cow.

To celebrate, here's a little Bloodhound Gang with their classic... Fire Water Burn. Always loved the video, though back in the day it didn't get much airtime.

Hope your day is going well!
