Earthquake

The pictures at Boston dot com make it appear as the tsunami did as much damage as the quake, but that may be because it makes better pictures.

But the quake did make our days shorter by 1.26 microseconds.

This picture from Boston.com really intrigued me. I wonder if the rescuers mistook the dog's whining for a human being. Its a sweet picture but shouldn't they have been digging up man, not man's best friend?

They are searching house by house, and bringing out everything alive, even people.

Here's an interesting tidbit: NASA scientists claim that the massive earthquake that shook Chile on Saturday may have shifted Earth's axis by about 3 inches (8 centimeters) and shortened its days by about one-millionth of a second.

Damn just when I thought Spring was comimg.

I'd like to think, that if my village was levelled by an earthquake or other natural disaster, the rescue services would pull Pilau from the wreckage if they heard him whining.

Y'just pull out whatever is alive and rescuable.

Of course I would want my kittens rescued. I luv them. But I would feel terrible if they were rescued at the expense of a human life. That was my only concern.
