Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Judging from the reaction of the different seismographs, it is likely that they are recording the 6.3 quake on the mid atlantic ridge which occured about the same period. The carribean seismographs have a crisp pattern, while those in China are more washed out (in a manner of speaking). Folks can take the tinfoil off

Thanks so very much!!
Thanks for your input.
As you can tell, I’m not much of a Biblical scholar.
I did it, but it was......BECAUSE I WAS LOADED, OK?!
No. There are no people in an empty building.

That’s why they called it The China Syndrome.
It should be pretty easy to show whether there are more earthquakes recently than “usual”...
but I haven’t been able to find a graph.
Not so...
Unfortunate choice of metaphor.
Done it myself, three times, by choice, sans anesthesia. Great success, wide-awake babies. How ‘bout you?
;-)
Seriously, “keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. . .So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
Things that go bump ....
Hope you have your towel.
It’s no trouble at all. What’s weird is the amount of people who aren’t “religious” in the least thinking that something is definitely up...
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
Gadzooks, no wonder... 
I didn't hear it!
After twelve hours of labor, they told me (the man) that we could shoot up my wife again (not an epi, but just straight drugs) but that would extend it by several hours. Or we could go at it cold, and be done within the hour.
I was tired. So was she. I said, “let’s do it.”
Big mistake.
Second time around, as she was sitting on the bed getting the epidermal, she said “I think I feel the head coming out.” Sure enough, she laid down and my daughter was pretty much waving at us. She tells me that her left leg did not feel a thing.
I stopped after that. Obviously, I can do a lot of things well. But being a birth coach is just not something I ever got very well.
The oldest turned twenty this week. Everything turned out OK.
It is. How do you get in?
That's not the way it works. There is a measurable travel time involved, which is a function of distance, the type of rocks and path being traversed, type of wave, etc. (The greater the distance, the longer the delay -- just like the sound from lightning....)
Not only is travel time a function of distance, but, generally speaking, the time difference between the arrival of the "P" (compressive) and "S" (shear) waves increases with distance.
Knowledge of the arrival times of both the P & S waves -- and reference to a "travel time" diagram, table, or program allows seismologists to estimate the distance to an event with good accuracy.
So, no, seismic waves definitilely do not arrive everywhere at the same time. (Just as thunder from a single lightning strike is not heard everywhere at the same tme...)
