Earthquake information

Another major earthquake has struck the Indian Ocean off the coast of Sumatra. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates the quake at 8.7 magnitude. Tsunami warnings have been issued for Thailand, Japan and Sri Lanka. For more information, try Google News, the International Tsunami Information Center, or the USGS site. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those in the affected countries.

From ABC News

"Blakeman said Monday's quake was considered a "great earthquake" because it is larger than a magnitude 8. He said it was an aftershock from December's temblor but is a "very serious earthquake in its own right."

Gotta be the understatement of the day...

It's always France with you, isn't it, Lookout.

Admit it, you secretly LOVE France. It's like a grade school romance where you punch the girl you like.

Lookout and France, up in a tree.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love...
Then comes marriage...
Then comes France with a baby carriage.

i'm visiting france this summer. yippee. as far as i can tell, i love the country, but i'm not too fond of the residents. the feeling is probably reciprocated.

I worked with the french "military" 11 years ago. i say if they are ever invaded again, let the lazy bastards fry.

edit: thanks for noticing and calling out my secret crush on france though.

The plague of locusts should be coming any day now.

I'm looking forward to the rain of frogs.

I like frogs.

I don't scream like a girl when I see one.

Unlike the mouse that menaced me in my office last night.

He was quite fierce.

We decided not to tell dayshift.

We are naming him "Haldol".
