More proof that the world is pissed off.
Is it me or does it seems there is an increase in earthquakes. Just look at the USGS map for us here in CA:

Guess I need to get a set of kiddy floats ready!

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Yikes! So many, and more than I'd imagine in the past day! 8O

Not good. Hope you have an emergency plan of action or something.
(You know, like grab all your cels and bolt for safety)

That's very scary.

And Cloud, that's just gross X|

This makes me wish I had latches on my cabinets again. If a big enough earthquake hits close to here everything in my cabinets could fall out onto the floor.

Don't hang anything over your head where you sleep. :D

I didn't see the link but living in a country that has the same fault (or failure?) we also get lots of earthquakes. According to the scientifics there are a lot of earthquakes during the day but we don't feel them.

Remember the earthquake that hit LA last year in June? I was there for that one. At the same time a big earthquake hit the North of my country.

Part of the greatness of living in Cali. My faves were the 1987 Whittier quake(actually caused my stereo to fly off my desk), and the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. Good times.
Time is but an illusion. Lunch time...doubly so.
