Strangely enough this reminds me of a conversation I had over the weekend about sex with a fat woman. The physics are the same.

And the aftershock is when you wake up with a hangover in the morning and open your eyes.

Day after Christmas, now day after Easter. Strange.

Strange ain't the word.

To make matters worse, in that area it is the middle of the night. It is approximately 1:42 a.m. in Singapore.

You know the last earthquake was the day after Christmas. This one is the day after Easter. Which Means THE CHRISTIAN GOD IS REALLY PISSED AT THE INDONESIANS AND MALAYSIANS.

Oh please.

the quake was shallow and did not occur in deep water, which may mean less of a deadly tsunami risk.

Incorrect. Shallow quakes are more dangerous. If it's near the same location as the December 2004 quake, it's in deep water.

No we did not feel it here where I am this time - maybe tall buildings felt it - I didn't. This one was smaller.

The largest quake ever was 3 days before a new moon, and the third largest ever was on First quarter.

The thing about the moon business is the people infatuated with the moon relationship only remember the ones on full or new moons and forget the others.
