April may be the cruelest month…

[MrScorpio]

But this week looks like it's going out of its way to be particularly sadistic.

[DevonRex]

1. Seriously.

I am not having April next year. Haven't decided what it will be. But it will NOT be April.

[elleng]

2. Next year will be a 30th anniversary for me/us,

was thinking of returning to Italy. Dunno.

9. You're from Colorado, right?

You guys don't seem to be having an April THIS year either.

Seems like another February with all the snow!

[DevonRex]

12. yeah

This is what April looks like here when we've had a mild winter sometimes. Not always, but sometimes you can just feel in your bones that the snows are going to fall long after you need to plant and want to hike.

3. Sadly the month

if far from over... I hope this is the last of it.. but one never knows. Depressing.

4. This has been a very bad week. nt

5. How about Late August to September?

Many powerful hurricanes have made landfall and have killed people in September
also..

September 8, 1900: Hurricane hits Galveston, TX, 6000 to 12000 people die
September 16, 1928: Okeechobee hurricane makes landfall in South Florida, 2500+ people die
9/11 Attacks: September 11, 2001, 3000 people die
3 of the 4 hurricanes of 2004 that ravaged Florida struck on September: Hurricane Frances, Ivan, Jeanne
Hurricane Katrina: makes landfall in Louisiana on August 29, 2005, 1836 people die including from the subsequent flooding
Stock Market panic of 2008 and the marking point when things will never be the same: September 15, 2008.

6. Hitler was born in April too

This month is full of bad juju.

7. Lincoln Assassination, 1906 earthquake, and Titanic happened just around this time in April as well

Abraham Lincoln was shot on April 14, 1865, died on April 15
San Francisco 1906 earthquake happened on April 18, 1906, 3000+ people died
Titanic Sank on April 15, 1912, 1502 people died


Also,

Virginia Tech massacre happened on April 16, 2007

8. It's also National Library Week

and Animal Cracker Birthday Today. So how would those fit into this logic?

You can assemble any chain of events using google and wiki on the calendar and rationalize any conclusion you choose.

Stuff happens each and every day, some of it horrific, some of it not so great, some of it good and some of it beyond superb.

[MrScorpio]

10. A library sounds like a good place to hide this week…

And while we're there we can read up on all of the horribles things in history that have ever happened during the month of April.

It's a good thing that they won't let you eat Animal Crackers in libraries too, someone just might choke to death on one.

11. If I may...

Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow...

Yeah, it seems all Hell has broken loose.
