Holy Hell...

this is the most recent story in a collection of news articles concerning a tsunami that hit the Asian coastline on December 26. it was caused by a 9 point earthquake that went off around 100 miles from the coast. it caused a 30 foot wave that made its way close to 3 miles inland, and so far 52,000 casualties have been recorded, with about half of them being children.

the earthquake is the largest ever recorded (crushing the original record, around 7 or something), and has actually knocked the Earth of its axis. in about 60 years, we will have to chage our clocks by 1 hour.

also, the Tsunami has also sunk several outlying islands, and has completely killed off several tribes that lived on those islands.

i only heard about this a few minutes ago. i went to 9news.com and looked this up. the article linked is one from CNN.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

There have been nine point or higher earthquakes before, and there is no way it would have knocked the earth out of it's axis, literally sunk any islands, or wiped out any tribes.

I'm sure the writer already knew this, I'm just ruining his fun at your expense.

so you don't believe me? do some research. read the article i posted. read any article you can find on this.

remember: this is the biggest earthquake ever recorded. earthquakes are measured on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the strongest. if a 10 point earthquake were to occur, it could potentially split the earth in half. 9 is really close to 10. the second strongest earthquake occured in Californa, and it only measured a 7. thats almost nothing compared to a 9.

plus, a 30-foot tall wave that goes 3 miles inland can do some pretty serious damage. try standing up to one.

wow, its horrible such mass destruction, don't worry america will protect you by waging a war against the evoirment will drill in alaska and any other place theres oil that will show mother earth who's boss.

Don't bring politics and crude jokes into a matter like this, for christ's sake. 52,00 lost their lives, bodies being piled in the streets becase there is not a enough room to bury the dead. Is that a joking matter?

The Alaska earthquake of 1964 was 9.2. I believe you on the death toll, however.

You need to stop listening to your mom.

wha?

"Never" usually implies "not forever", and since you "never" say your mom jokes, "forever" must have been the eighteen minutes between your last one and that post.
