1. Only a 4.8?

God is such a pussy.

[Ninjaneer]

3. LOL n/t

[CoffeeCat]

7. If there is a rapture...that statement you made...

...pretty much ensures that you will be "left behind" and forced to endure the tribulation.

Oh well. Me too.

We'll fight the locust swarms together!

[Renew Deal]

10. Will Raid work with locust swarms?

:shrug:

[kentauros]

23. Just wait for the rain of frogs.

They'll eat the locusts.

[notadmblnd]

12. God doesn't like cats?

[gauguin57]

15. OMG. God? A pu**y? You just lost your ticket on the Rapture train, chollybocker!

And I laughed at it, so I lost my ticket, too.

[chalky]

21. The event has been downgraded from a "rapture" to a "warm fuzzy".

[Le Taz Hot]

25. It's going to have to be at least 6.0

before us Californians stop what we're doing to look out the window. :shrug:

[malaise]

27. Geez even lil Jamaica had a 5.1 last Monday n/t

[Ninjaneer]

2. This means its legit!

[Crunchy Frog]

5. Live world map

Oops same as op... Sorry

6. Global Warming is bringing more earthquakes and more severe earthquakes ...

but that has nothing to do with any thing but capitalism's destruction of nature --

its exploitation of all of nature, natural resources, animal life -- air, water, oceans --

and humanity -- !! (That's all!)

And, earthquakes also generate more volcanic activity!!



:nuke:

9. Prove that God didn't cause that earthquake?

Someone call the Solomon Islands and see if anyone answers the phone.

[defendandprotect]

11. Let's call W ... he was always having conversations with "god" -- !!

[cleanhippie]

16. Uhm, the climate does not affect seismic activity.

[defendandprotect]

24. Uhm, unfortunately Glacier melting does --

not only does it increase pressures on tectonic plates --

but the displaced water does as well --


Keep in mind, the Mayor of Fukushima wanted to close down the nuclear plants in his

town because of their age -- but also because of the increasing seismic activity.

The plants were only built to withstand earthquakes of 7.0 --

Last one was a 9 -- with more than 350 aftershocks, still at high numbers.

8. "This is it. This is the big one! I'm coming Elizabeth!!!" n/t

[kenny blankenship]

13. It started, farted, and failed.

[Hugabear]

14. mmmm...that's "rapture", not "rupture"

n/t ;)

[Tx4obama]

17. Keeping my eye on Alaska and Minnesota. Waiting for Palin & Bachmann to be raptured. n/t

[Renew Deal]

18. Those 2 aren't going anywhere.

[Tx4obama]

19. Shhhh.... this might be our only chance to be rid of 'em. n/t

[coalition_unwilling]

26. Um, I spoke to God and She told me plans are for Bachmann and Palin to

be 'reverse raptured.' Transmission was full of static so I didn't get all the details, but something about 'descending' rather than 'ascending.' :)

[bvar22]

28. In Minnesota, only the Lutherans will be raptured,

or so says Garrison Keillor (Prairie Home Companion).

[Raine]

22. LOL, in CA we have bigger tremors from a truck

going down the street. :rofl:

[lunatica]

29. 4.8?

[and-justice-for-all]

30. Its begun? Platetectonis has never stopped...nt
