kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2004 So there I was minding my own business and then I see Ripper going out with a skinny white girl, MikeSC bitching because his welfare check had the wrong amount entered (the government forgot to add bonus cash due to his 10 kids) and Tyler playing with this blonde-haired doll that kept calling John Kerry an infidel. Weird. So, uh, what does everyong think about what happened in Fallujah? And I just came across this on Drudge -- you California posters have been warned... Story LOS ANGELES -- A state earthquake council has given a qualified endorsement to a prediction by a group of scientists who believe that a temblor of magnitude-6.4 or greater will occur in the Southern California desert sometime in the next five months. The California Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council, a group of eight scientists selected by the state Office of Emergency Services, said it considers the new prediction by the scientists to be "a legitimate approach in earthquake prediction research." Despite its support the panel noted in a report that "the physical basis for the prediction has not been substantiated." The team of scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, predict that a quake will occur within a 12,000-square-mile area east of Los Angeles by Sept. 5. The zone includes a large swath of the Mojave Desert, the Coachella Valley, the Imperial Valley and eastern San Diego County. The area was the location of the magnitude-7.3 Landers earthquake in 1992 and the 7.1 Hector Mine quake in 1999. The zone is so seismically active that the council noted in its report that the chances of an earthquake of at least magnitude-6.4 occurring randomly in the area sometime before the Sept. 5 deadline is about 10 percent. The council concluded that the results do not warrant any special public policy actions in California. Such actions could include warnings to the public or alerts issued to utilities to help them prevent disruptions in service. The scientists piqued interest after they forecast the magnitude-6.5 San Simeon quake in December and the magnitude-8.1 quake last year off Japan's Hokkaido island. In both cases, the group set wide parameters in place and time. The team bases its predictions on long chains of small earthquakes recorded in the area. "In the vicinity of each such chain, we look backward and see its history over the preceding years -- whether our candidate (for an earthquake) was preceded by certain seismicity patterns," said lead team scientist Vladimir Keilis-Borok. "If yes, we accept the candidate as a short-term precursor and start a nine-month alarm." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2004 Sad thing is I think I convinced myself to believe some of the shit I said yesterday. And notice there was no mod intervention -- kinda reminds me of the recent actions in Hati. Just think if we, the posters, united to overrun this place. We'd be unstoppable -- until Dames stops paying the bill, that is. So, any bets on Fallujah being on the global map by this time next month? I also find it interesting that the broadcast media isn't airing pictures of this lynch mob... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2004 This ought to explain it all -- Source. Shortly thereafter "Racist Dusty" just became a running gag, although he's only one of three people in sports I dislike (Bonds and Pippen being the other two). Although as the season went on I began to see Racist Dusty's point of view -- after all, who botched that ground ball in Game 6 of the NLCS on a CHILLY Chicago night? A Latino...

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2004 5 months on the Earthquake.. *thinks about it for a second..* Could Bush use a earthquake that completely levels all of Los Angeles as a reason to postpone the election? California is the big state in terms of electoral votes and they would obviously have a problem voting if there was mass destruction and chaos. And with Arnold as Governor it would seem all too much like a crappy sci-fi earthquake movie.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The zone includes a large swath of the Mojave Desert, the Coachella Valley, the Imperial Valley and eastern San Diego County. Having been a Los Angelino (not anymore though) for close to 15 years, I know that this area is nowhere NEAR anything important or populated. Northridge is at least a good hour and a half or so away, and to hit anything important or populated it would have to reach Ontario, and that's still at least a half hour or so I would imagine. I don't remember any earthquake that really had any sort of impact on the actual city since 1994. Sure I've felt a couple like the two mentioned in the drudge report, but I guess non-Californians WAY overexaggerate that shit from what they hear on the news... When an earthquake's epicenter is out in BFE, that means absolutely nothing outside of maybe a couple pictures hanging on the wall being out of place.
