There was a quake in Victoria a short while ago too. I personally don't think there's any doomsday prophesies coming true. I think it's just natural movement of the techtonic plates.

If my memory serves me correctly, there were a series of quakes about a decade ago in all the same sort of areas.

I am not a doomsday person, but there have been a number of big ones lately.

Deepak Chopra has taken responsibility for the latest CA quake.

The man is a menace, and should be deported.

The end of the Mayan calendar is 12/21/12. The world will end then.

That is all.

The world will end on Dec 24 2011, when the aliens come back to get us. Well, me, anyway. I hope.

That is all.

All I can say is I hope the aliens don't land here in Arizona. Cuz Sheriff Joe Arpaio will just have them arrested and sent to Mexico.

No 2012 is when our super-computers that are 10 times smarter than we are become conscious, and begin to kill us all. There!

Human calendars end at this point, and our new computer masters calendar begins!!!

See how I did that? The Singularity and the Mayan Calendar all at the same time? I'm what they call "special".

Felt the Mexicali quake here -- just barely. I was seated and wondered why I was feeling a bit dizzy, like the seat was rocking back and forth. That was because it was; I could see a nearby door oscillating slightly. My wife and our roomie, who were both standing, didn't notice anything. The motion was that wave motion at the surface that comes of a powerful temblor a long way off, not the vertical motion of one that's under your feet.

You can't have your pudding if you don't eat your meat...
