In which case- they will not blame the USA- but simply attribute it to normal and occasional events in Japan...

Actually the ring itself is pretty stationary, it's the plates on either side of it that are moving (continuously).

Full moon nearly.

None of the previous 3 7+ quakes this year were anywhere near a new or full moon, and none of the previous 10 7+ quakes this year were on, or within a day either side, of a new or full moon.

Did you get rid of all the quarks or therons or whatever they're called? I think the Episcopalians are in discussions to establish a concordance with the Scientologists.

I wouldn't worry too much, my ex wife Velveeta can cause a 7.1 just buy doing her "jumping jacks" exercises.

The quake hit at a depth of about 15 miles and was centered off the coast of Sanriku in northern Japan, 330 miles east of Tokyo, the USGS said.

The agency said a tsunami could reach Japan's Pacific coastlines between 7:10 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. (5:10 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. EST Monday) in Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima and Hokkaido, the agency said.

The quake was a good distance offshore and is unlikely to have caused much, if any, damage.

I doubt that a full moon has any more gravitational pull on the earth than a new moon, since the amount light bouncing off the moon isn't going to make any difference. The daily fluctuations of the tides caused by the moon will probably make much more of an impact.

Body thetans. No. Enough so the balance don't bother me too much.

The way the Church does it wakes up these very psychotic fragmented individuals, kicks them out of a client's body, and inflicts them on the local environment.

The results can be seen in any newpaper or on any TV...

I know, but it is hard to part with the old model. There was a shift in the relation of the moon to the weather a few years ago, too, and that was after several decades of fitting fairly well. There might be something to watching the signs, especially when there is a change.

IIRC, I think there's supposed to be on average of 1 major earthquake in the world per month, right? Like 12-13 mag 7's or greater per yr.

There's never been any discernable relation of moon phases to large earthquakes.

*blush* Thank you.

It's a much more accurate statement than 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'. Following that bit of advice has gotten us into all kinds of hurt later on...
