The Earth is Cracking Up
A leading earthquake scientist has warned that the planet could be cracking up after a series of massive quakes in just 48 hours.
Expert Gheorghe Marmureanu - from Romania's National Institute of Earth Physics - says 39 quakes had hit the globe within two days.
The series started with two massive quakes in Indonesia measuring 8.6 and 8.2 on the Richter scale rapidly followed by three more only slightly smaller in Mexico within hours.
"There is no doubt that something is seriously wrong. There have been too many strong earthquakes," said Marmureanu.
He added: "The quakes are a surprise that cannot be easily explained by current scientific knowledge. With the Indonesian quake for example, statistically, there should be one big earthquake in this part of Asia every 500 years. However, since 2004, there were already three quakes with a magnitude of over 8, which is not normal.

I guess they don't have Google in Romania because this can be disproved in about three seconds.

That would be giving you a fish. What about I show you to use the Google Machine yourself?

Fuck Google. The good book has the answer - repent before it is too late.

I imagine it's no more or less full of total bullshit than the New York Times.
