Yer from Texas, right? Well, even in California 7.4 qualifies as a big earthquake. Albeit, it was offshore, but still, that's a helluva 30 second (thirty SECOND. dangit, learn to type, or at least read, will ya?) ride.

[Queen of the Ryche]

The bouys are up in Alaska, the quakes were in Palm Springs Sunday, Bering Sea Monday, and last night off the coast of Nothern Cali - it was a strike slip quake, so the surface level of the ocean floor did not shift, hence no tsunami. The warning came on the TV around 8 last night and was over by 9. Sorry folks - nothing to see, show's over. Move along.

[Dr. Zaius]

Some idiots where I live actually started travelling toward the coast when they heard the news. Probably going for the Darwin Award.

[Elspode]

If we could get enough of those types down there along the shore, they could function as human sandbags and protect the rest of us while taking themselves out of the gene pool and society in general.

Win-win!

Moderate earthquake shakes Los Angeles area
Thu Jun 16, 2005 05:32 PM ET

and again.

News reporters should first learn the perspective of numbers before hyping a news stories about an LA quake. If one earthquake was in British Columbia and another was on the CA/OR border, then both would never be reported. But two earthquakes even farther apart are reported only because both distant locations share a political boundary - CA.

Meanwhile, so many other earthquakes only prove god is angry about the sinful land of pornography, silicon breasts, and innovation. Listed are the size and location of so many earthquakes that clearly proves to any religious extremist that the end is near; Christ will rise again. An NBC network TV show even proves it:

16 Jun 2005  
 4.9  GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA, CA. 
 4.8  EASTER ISLAND REGION 
 4.8  NORTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA 
 3.9  OFF COAST OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA 
 3.5  CENTRAL CALIFORNIA 
 5.1  NORTH OF SVALBARD 
 4.7  CENTRAL EAST PACIFIC RISE 
 3.6  OFFSHORE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

Christ will rise again

actually i'm pretty sure most Christians believe that Christ is already risen, and i'm not aware of a second crucifixion, so i don't think there is technically any reason for Him to rise again.

i'm just sayin'.
