My explanation....

[ichabod1]

We're all going to die.

[SF Republican]

Someone should start a Mass Hysteria ping list. They should not be employed as it will be a full time job.

Bush's fault! (first in?)

[null and void]

Yessssssss!

[JZelle]

That's it! I'm never driving or using electricity again!!

"Mmmm. Maybe putting my methane offsets under the fault zone was a bad idea. Gotta stay away from Tipper's chili..."

[An Old NCO]

If we buy this as cause and effect science why can't we buy Sun Activity and earth Temp correlations?

I posted recently on another thread that they should rename the Balcones Fault in Central Texas and call it Bush's Fault.

I Feel The Earth Move Lyrics
Artist(Band):Carole King


I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Oh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something that I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get hot and cold all over

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down

Exactly! And the source of the tiny tremors associated with that fault zone?... Democrats!

I predict thank these temblors will be shown to be the seismic reflections of Rosie O'Donnell footstep.
Kinda like the butterfly effect, but only using a walrus.

[GOP Poet]

interesting stuff. I wonder if a quake was predicted, what it would do in places where a myth size fear has been created, such as California, temporarily to property values, hysteria etc. For instance would one hold off on buying a new home or would life go on as usual?

Sometimes the anticipation of something is as anxiety provoking as the actual event. I would assume there would be an element of this pre earthquake reaction as well, but one never knows. Something to ponder.

Apparently, I learned the old scientific method rather than the new one.

Old scientific method:

1) Observe a phenomenon.
2) Formulate a hypothesis.
3) Validate or disprove the hypothesis by performing experiments and/or making predictions of future events.
4) Over time, a validated hypothesis becomes a theory.
5) Over much more time, a theory becomes a law.

New scientific method:

1) Observe a phenomenon.
2) Formulate a doomsday scenario.
3) Declare that this scenario is caused by capitalism and can only be prevented through global socialism.
4) Secure government funding in perpetuity to sustain those declarations despite any evidence to the contrary.
5) Find a new phenomenon and repeat.

When you think of Rosie , think of the walrus, big,full of blubber, random coarse body hair, and cantankerous. Enjoy the image and Gezundheit

Excellent definition of the "new" scientific method!
