Boobquake
Boobquake is the name given to an event this Monday. An Iranian cleric declared that earhtquakes were caused by lascivious women and this bunch will try to produce a temblor by dressing provocatively. Naturally, I mention this only to make you aware of the word at the beginning of this post. Yeah!

Bah - he was talking about their ankles.

I thought that cleric might be on to something because I was in bed this morning with my wife and the earth moved. Then I realized I hit the switch on the Craftmatic.

Well, it was supposed to happen yesterday (26 April) and there was an earthquake near Taiwan. Since there is an earthquake somewhere every day that's not very surprising. See here.

There you are, bethree5? Well, as we all know there's a mountain range called "The Grand Tetons," which is French for "The Big Boobs," and since mountains are caused by crustal plate shifting and/or vulcanism, the mullah's mostly right! Big Grin

And the smaller volcanoes around here DO look like boobs!

I'm afraid the mullah was wrong. Despite the provocatively-dressed women swaggering around yesterday, there were no boobquakes reported in the US. However, Steven Colbert, on the Colbert Report did notice there were many more noticable trouser-tremors among men.

Proof, vulcanism is responsible for guy-sers too.

That's the problem with association, versus causal, research. People (sometimes scientists) frequently misunderstand the difference. They find a significant correlation, and suddenly it's a cause. Of course, in this situation there is no statistical correlation. It's just that earthquakes happen everyday so anything that happens everyday could be "associated" with them.
