Horoscopes are an astonishingly accurate way of predicting the behavior of people who believe in and follow horoscopes!

We Scorpios with Sagittarius rising don't believe in horoscopes.

I believe in earthquakes, though. Especially if there's money in it. (Announcer's Voice) The Drill Institute for Earthquake Prevention has been functioning successfully for a year now. Are YOU ready?

All to this that Cal Tech says that the San Andreas fault will only generate an 8.2 magnitude earthquake at best.

The ‘89 quake center was 100 miles from San Francisco/Oakland.
You drop a 7 in the center of the Bay Area and its going to be bad.

Back in the mid 1960s, Paul Harvey mentioned a bunch of world wide horoscope casters were predicting a world wide calamity when the planets aligned that week.

He said that even if a small trembler happened it would vindicate them in the eyes of “true believers”.
Nothing happened.

Same for this one. If even a small trembler happens anywhere....

I wish these meatballs would learn the inverse square law.

The inverse-square law stating that any intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that intensity. Intensity (is inversely proportional) to 1/distance squared.

Newton’s law of universal gravitation follows the inverse-square law.

The Sun is large enough for its gravity to influence the entire solar system. But Jupiter is only 1/1000th the mass of the Sun, and it is a very long way away from Earth.

Only Alaska in the U.S. is even capable of a 9.0.

Not exactly...

The Cascadia Subduction Zone, off the coast of Washington and Oregon, is quite capable of generating a 9.0. In fact, seismologists have predicted that someday there will be what they call a "Full 9 Rip" from the CSZ. In 1700, the CSZ DID drop a 9.0 estimated quake, based on historical records in Japan and local native American stories.

The CSZ is exactly the same type of fault that the 2011 Great Tohoku Quake in Japan is....and that was a 9.0.

This is the same reason why horoscopes are nonsense.”

You may want to rethink the horoscope issue a bit, particularly in the case of Obama and Bill Clinton. Leos tend to be very narcissistic and have a very dark side.

It is just a coincidence that a movie about a big earthquake is coming out...

This is more useful information from the movie “San Andreas”.

Listen to the scientist, not the “I can puts up a video” crowd

Can't trust "scientists" on warming, why trust 'em on quakes? What kind of grants are they seeking?

No, I’m not “rethinking” that. We know what causes narcissism, it has to do with interrupted development, it is not something you are born with.

“All to this that Cal Tech says that the San Andreas fault will only generate an 8.2 magnitude earthquake at best.”

The morons at Caltech in 2008 said that global warming was a problem. In the seven years since then they’ve been wrong.

http://www.caltech.edu/content/global-warming-science-and-solutions

So if they say that the San Andreas can only generate an 8.2 quake then it won’t hurt to be prepared for a 9.5 because these people have been wrong before.

Besides, if you’re prepared for a 9.5 then an 8.2 should be a cakewalk for you.
