John Wilkes Booth?
It's accepted there's some lunar influence on small quakes in hydrothermal areas and at volcanoes; and a recent paper claiming to find a small influence for offshore quakes.
But the idea that there's a clear and obvious moon relationship for large quakes is a crock; it's easily checkable and there really is nothing that jumps out; yet people continually repeat the false idea that the moon phase-quake relationship is something obvious.
Wrong. You've got that backwards.
And so are the results..... ;-)
yes busy atm -- phone
So, are we going down the road with the "fat lady", "giggle", "ripple" jokes??? I'm just wondering because if it ends up getting moved to a different thread..... Ping me, I'm in!
Hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, tidal waves (its too difficult to spell tsunami). This damn planet keeps trying to kill us.

“I hope you’ll be very happy, Miss Jones.”“I know I shall. Oh, it would be wicked of me to doubt it. For it is the Lord who has brought us together.”
“Do you think so?”
“I know it. Don’t you see? Except for the cholera Edward would never have found himself. Except for the cholera we should never have learnt to know one another. I have never seen the hand of God more plainly manifest.”
The Controleur could not but think that it was rather a clumsy device to bring those two together that necessitated the death of six hundred innocent persons, but not being well versed in the ways of omnipotence he made no remark.

I just know that I was pulling KP duty aboard the Breckenridge, enroute to Korea, the day we crossed the International date line and calander wise I finished my duty the day after I started.
Our today is Asia's tomorrow.
I found it only because before it was pulled, the thread had a link to this one.....
Excuse me!
I am wondering if anyone heard about it and when it was supposed to take place. Why does that bother you?
Why are you so offended with the question?
"I read about a Gay celebration that was going to happen somewhere in Phuket (sp?).
Yeah and........................................ I'm sorry, I can't... Way too much material!!
