I don't recommend anything about this website, but it has lots of this kind of stuff.

I made a quick check of all the data and am going to sell all of my beach front property in Alaska.

"Earthquake frequency is high worldwide:" It's the end times.


"Earthquake frequency is low worldwide:" It's a lull before the end times.

Magma Surfing !

Sounds like a few threads I've been on lately!

[RightWhale]

True. We are watching all kinds of events, both natural and manmade. We are natural scientists.

[GVnana]

I know about Berkland. He predicted the World Series quake. I think he had some other empirical data about the water level changing and the presence of gasses in wells changing before quakes? I don't have a problem with that stuff as long as it's genuine observation and recording of data. That is science.

We're all gonna die!!!!

We have promised that the elite would find themselves with surprises going into the pole shift, their plans to entrap and poison or drown hundreds of millions in coastal or river basin cities utterly shattered. They will also find themselves without the safety of their enclaves, in ways we will not at this time describe. We have termed the pole shift the Great Equalizer and this is true in more than one way. No man will be safe, all will be affected, and those aspects of the elite plans, which they assume fail safe, will be torn like a tissue into shreds going into the last days before the shift, to their horror. They will find themselves among the homeless, without shelter, without supplies or recourse, the horror they are smugly allowing the common man to approach suddenly theirs, a perfect karma."

What the heck is that? It's certainly not science.

There is a pretty exciting thread about planting trees on Mars going on also that I am on. I have already suggested planting trees on the Sun at night so we can have more shade.

[Ichneumon]

A click of your mouse is all you need to get past it. Why take the time to comment if it bugs you so?

Because if every magnitude 4.0 quake gets its own thread, we'll be hard-pressed to find actual news among all the "a truck drove by, film at 11" threads...

[U S Army EOD]

Kind of sounds like a frustrated commie to me.

[U S Army EOD]

Check post 89, you could be right.

[Theresawithanh]

"In this instance I'd say the comment was to let people know there's nothing unusual about this quake"

That may very well be the case, but the poster's comment didn't reflect that. They could have said "nothing new here".

I still stand by my one and only complaint against posters on this website. Let the mods be the judge of what should and should not be posted, and if you don't like the article, pass it on by.

[U S Army EOD]

If he had said something mundane like that, we wouldn't be here. So he was correct in not saying that.

[RightWhale]

He is a scientist, but not following the customary academic science path to professional success. That makes him an outsider, and not having to worry about keeping his job by defending his crackpot theories anymore makes him a rogue scientist. He might be right about some things, though.

[Jemian]

I'm sorry I can't give you print documentation, but in the fall of 2001, I visited the deprtment of Meteorology and Geophysics in Jayapura, Irian Jaya, Indonesia. There are three plates which come together in that area. The officials there told me that the area alone gets over 50 small earthquakes every day. That is one small area of the Pacific Rim. If anything, an annual number of 200 for the entire rim is way too low.

[steve86]

As you can see by looking at the map - the Pacific Rim has been very busy this year.

Actually, there haven't been very many earthquakes in 2005. Just good-natured kidding. Please don't flame.

[SierraWasp]

Enguard! Make your plan!! All yer swatters are belong to us!!!

Hmmmmm....so.....is this what Algore's been doing since his spanking???

[Theresawithanh]

Sure, OK, yeah, right.
