Heh, I just talked to my friend who's sister was in India. She said "suddenly there was water all around our hotel, and cows were floating here and there".

It can't be that bad. Some sources give 11 000 dead, more expected.
lol wtf

I was just talking with a friend of mine, and she said her dad said something about having heard that... *phew* ... the earthquake actually caused a change in the tilt of the globe or something.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

The earthquake that ended global warming!


In seriousness, this is a horrible, horrible happening. If I were a praying man, I'd pray for these people.

When Krakatoa exploded, the tidal waves went round the Earth, twice.

It's bad from a human point of view, but the Earth itself will barely notice, the crust is about 3% of the planet compared to the core, it doesn't really affect orbits etc.

Reuters count is up to 15.500.

Bob : yes, the earthquake in Iran occured Dec 26, 2003, with more than 43.000 dead. If something like that happens again next christmas, it'll be more than startling.

It is quite unrealistic to expect a natural disaster of this magnitude to have "just" 3000 dead. Sad, but true.:(

Minimum 21.000. Oh hell.

And I fear this game of increasing numbers will continue quite a while.
