I wonder if any co-eds have claimed responsibility for said quake yet.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
The fact that it was 6.9 can be taken as evidence that this was an immodesty related earthquake.
CNN has since edited the earthquake measurement to a 6.5. I'm sure they were just tired of all the sexual innuendo.
Jen from the original blog says she will compare earthquakes that occurred today with those that occurred last year. After all, earthquakes happen all the time.
I proudly participated today. It was cold out too!![]()
Yes, and those were obviously caused by boobs, too.
Speaking of the original blog entry, she made a blog entry for today's festivities which may be entertaining to read through. Actually I'm sure it is, because within two comments there is someone trying to "save" her with Jesus.
I've been following Blag Hag for a long time now. I'm a bit sad that Boobquake is the thing that has been the most popular. A friend and I tried to spread the news about "Send an Atheist to Church" but we only got into arguments. It was very sad.
Anyway.... yay boobquake.
I read some other stuff occasionally, but I can only manage to keep up regularly with PZ's blog. Most major things find their way to Pharyngula anyway.
Btw, "Send an Atheist to Church" sounds hilarious, though I can certainly imagine the frustrating arguments that ensued.
The only way to appease the boobquakes now is to throw 30 fundamentalist cows (moo moo cows, not humans) and three pounds of butter into an active volcano while wearing silly hats, each more unique and ridiculous than the one before it![]()
Dammit, I am never going to finish studying at this rate.
Anyway, the original creator of boobquake, Blag Hag, has a follow up entry on her blog. Bonus: a couple of people are actually trying to argue in the thread that the 6.5 earthquake may have been caused by god's wrath. Blag Hag preempted this nonsense with a thorough statistical analysis comparing yesterday's earthquakes (quantity and magnitudes) with earthquakes from the past couple of months, but that didn't stop the crazies.

Extremist make me sad and give Christianity a bad name. Though they've been doing that for a loooong time now.
I'm pretty sure the blaming other people for things happening goes against Christian principles to begin with since you know, "Worry about that beam in your eye before helping your neighbor remove the speck from his," to paraphrase.
Amusing note, I'm listening to the Christian band Family Force 5 'Erfquake' right now coincidentally.
