To be expected, honestly. Haiti, Venezuela, Argentina...

I don't think we'll see another anywhere near as bad as what happened in Haiti, of course; that was the "perfect storm" combination of construction, population density, quake intensity, quake type, etc..

 

[torchbearer]

the earth is shifting.

 

[forsmant]

Is that what earthquakes are?

 

[Cowlesy]

the earth is farting.

fixed

 

[torchbearer]

fixed

it is all that shale drilling.

I blame global warming.

 

[torchbearer]

I blame global warming.

is the earth's crust expanding or contracting?

 

[MsDoodahs]

I blame global warming.

I blame global cooling.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Heck, there was even a small earthquake in Oklahoma a few days ago.

 

[ItsTime]

is the earth's crust expanding or contracting?

heat expands duh!

 

[malkusm]

the earth is shifting.

OMG, it must be man made! We must reduce our footprint! There are too many people putting too much weight on the plates! REGULATE NOWWWWWWWW

 

[torchbearer]

heat expands duh!

maybe its the earth's core that is heating up.

 

[MsDoodahs]

It's the coming pole shift.

 

[ItsTime]

maybe its the earth's core that is heating up.

well yeah the lizard people use fossil fuels too.

 

[LittleLightShining]

It's the coming pole shift.

My dad's been talking about this for 25 years. 25 years ago I thought he was a lunatic.

 

[MsDoodahs]

I saw something a few weeks ago about it - scientists are seeing evidence that such a shift may be coming.

 

[torchbearer]

well yeah the lizard people use fossil fuels too.

be careful my friend, josh is a lil' touchy about the lizard people subject.

I saw something a few weeks ago about it - scientists are seeing evidence that such a shift may be coming.

I thought it was suppose to happen in 2005?

 

[MsDoodahs]

Don't think so, Time, at least not based on the stuff I saw. Can't remember which program or channel, one of the sciencey ones. I remember they were talking about the impact it would have on migration patterns, especially of birds.

They showed some guy who goes into bat caves, plucks down a bat from its perch, then he takes it miles away and puts it in some doohickey that zaps it with a manmade pole shift (something to do with magnets in the gizmo, I think?). Anyway, then he releases the bat and monitors it to see how long it takes it to regain its bearings and find its way.
