No other reports yet.

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.

[stlnative]

where are you at? - did you feel it?

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Day after Christmas, now day after Easter. Strange.

Strange ain't the word.

[Central Scrutiniser]

If that is true, the Christian god isn't too good with calendars. BTW, int'l date line, its 2 days after easter there.

[TomGuy]

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

TOBA .... TOBA .... TOBA .... let's hope not!

"How is it germane to the subject?"


THE G_D DAMN GERMANS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!!

(sorry, little smokey and the bandit humor break...)

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.

BTW, int'l date line, its 2 days after easter there.

Quake time was 11:09P Monday night local time.

[Hand em their arse]

Did someone say "coyote..."

[BigSkyFreeper]

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.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Yeah, but it is tuesday there now.

[Strategerist]

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.

[nicmarlo]

Thank you for your explanation. That was helpful.
