It was funny....nd someone had to say it

Yeah, funny as a funeral.

I have a two brothers in Iraq(well, they both come and go on tours, both may not at this moment be there). I don't find car bombings funny either and I don't blame Bush for them either. What part of "I understand the humor" have you missed? When has an Earthquake or Tsunami ever been pinned on Bush?

Side note: There were several small quakes near Oklahoma City recently. USGS is now monitoring the area to see if they are related to salt water injection of oil wells.

I don't know if that's true, but if it is, it's the stupidest waste of tax money ever. There is NO way that a salt water disposal well could possibly cause an earthquake.

You can't even come up with a theory that was anything more than asinine.

There was an 8.0 just south of Fiji on May 3, 2006 the tsunami warning was short lived. I don't think this quake is going to cause any problems.

There is NO way that a salt water disposal well could possibly cause an earthquake.

That injection of liquids into wells can cause small earthquakes is well-studied and accepted in the scientific community.

Yes, of course, Sarcasm. Excuses you completely. You simply didn't think through what your post meant. I'm ok with that.

Over 100 scientific papers regarding injection-induced earthquakes - the most famous incidence of which was the waste injection at Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Colorado causing earthquakes in the 1960s.

Earthquakes, especially strong ones, are no joking matters.

I survived a major one and am lucky to be alive today.

Please refrain from mockery.

Don't know. What I do know is that Godzilla REALLY doesn't like it when an earthquake happens. Makes him surrly. Then Tokyo gets hammered.

Same here. I had to look it up on the CIA online database of countries.
