Why does ford worship ugly?
Them inline sixes just ran a good long time. A freind of mine had a Grenada that he retired with over 360k miles on it. He would have kept it longer if the wheel wells didn't rust out to nothing.
It's the end of the world, the book of revelation. Believe it!
LOL
Dr. Peter Venkman : This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor : What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr. Raymond Stantz : What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman : Exactly.
Dr. Raymond Stantz : Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Dr. Egon Spengler : Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore : The dead rising from the grave.
Dr. Peter Venkman : Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria!
I love my inline 6, has such a beautiful tone to it :)
"I didn't know the communist broadcasting system named a fault for Bush."
I'm surprised the California Legislature hasn't renamed the San Andreas Fault after Dubya.
LOL!!!!!! See? Someone is on my wavelength today :o)
I'm puzzled.
depends on what goes on under the surface. Its not the earthquake per se that causes it - tsunamis are caused by catastrophic water displacement. Requires a landslide or sumptin'.
Hopefully, we can all put the pieces back together for you...and the common good of all man.
Just fix yourself a drink of rainwater and grain alcohol, and maybe some strawberries from the galley (if some chowhound hasn't gotten to them first, with a duplicate key you know), and you'll feel much better.
That happens when you get your beeber stuned with such deep knowledge.
f.christian is that you?
I feel better already, now that I'm protecting the purity of my precious bodily fluids.
Thanks...I looked it up.
Tsunamis can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water. Tectonic earthquakes are a particular kind of earthquake that are associated with the earth's crustal deformation; when these earthquakes occur beneath the sea, the water above the deformed area is displaced from its equilibrium position. Waves are formed as the displaced water mass, which acts under the influence of gravity, attempts to regain its equilibrium. When large areas of the sea floor elevate or subside, a tsunami can be created.
Large vertical movements of the earth's crust can occur at plate boundaries. Plates interact along these boundaries called faults. Around the margins of the Pacific Ocean, for example, denser oceanic plates slip under continental plates in a process known as subduction. Subduction earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunamis.
