If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint George W. Bush?
Because the Demoncrats took away my fingerpaints! Arrrgh! They spoil everything! They took away my Thorazine! They gave me herpes! They caused the San Francisco earthquake of 1906! They got peanut butter on my chocolate! They ruined my prom! They cancelled "Holmes & Yoyo"! They saved Hitler’s brain! They promised us flying cars by the year 2000 and didn’t deliver! They turned me into a newt! They sank the Titanic!
They did lots of other things! (I need help here, people)
How is the Richter Scale calculated?
Every website I look at tells me that the scale uses either a log base 10 equation, or a log base 32. Sometimes it says that the scale represents a 10 fold increase in the amplitude for each whole number, while some sites say that it represent a 10 fold increase in the energy release of the earthquake. I don’t understand if I’m meant to calculate values from the scale using a base of 10 or 32.
Help?
Have you seen Judge Judy episode with the earthquake back in late July?

Do you believe these recent earthquakes are biblical or scientific?
I’ve been hearing so much over these past 3 recent earthquakes, Turkey, Haiti and Chile. Many say it means the end is near and God is coming to get his people but others say its due to scientific facts. What do you think?
Anybody know about the newest predictions for the Madrid Fault line?
I live in Missouri pretty much right on this fault line. I was wondering if you know about any new predictions regarding this fault line. Is a quake way over due? Do they have an estimated time on when we should get a quake? Where can I go to find this information? Thank you.
With all this talk about "unity" im starting to get a little anxious. and the time is near (12-23-2012) according to the bible code as well as the mayan calendar, coincidence i think not. the signs are out there people start reading the bible. Apacolypse/ judgement day/ end of the world/ ragnorok is near.
I can picture both candidates eyes glowing like a gou’ald. and for all u narrow minded skeptics out there the bible code predicted 9/11 "twin towers burning" by specific date, Yitzhak Rabin assassination. and many other things including "the big one" referring to a great earthquake in 2010.
i suggest u do everything u wanted to accomplish in your life within the next 4 years.
why oh why did it have to end this way?
look on the bright side at least we get to see jesus
does the latest earthquakes signify some thing more dangerous, like the end of the world?
Nine letter word for one direction of movement of buildings from earthquake vibrations? the 7 letter is an O?
Do you see the recent weather and earthquakes as the signs fortold in Matthew 24?
I am not a doom sayer. My question is designed to get people thinking and looking to the signs. We have had 5 – 6 major earthquakes in 2010. Record snowfall in 49 of 50 states. The US economy is on the brink of collapse and a government will not listen to the people. Is this a SIGN?
What is causing all these high magnitude earthquakes so frequently?
I think that HAARP is being used as a weapon to send high frequencies into the ground to cause earthquakes to kill hundreds of thousands of people around the world to keep the population down. Think about it. I mean it’s a perfect weapon because it’s untraceable and easy to deny. They’ve attacked Southeast Asia. They’ve attacked Chile and hoped for two birds with one stone with Hawaii.
Should I get earthquake insurance for my home in Sacramento, California?
No quakes in the 30 years I’ve lived here, but it only takes one. . .
Where is the next big earthquake going to be?
can you predict where it will be from looking at this map? maybe there is a pattern.

From the pictures that I have seen, it seems that Haiti is more devastated than Chile yet it has a lesser magnitude
Was the Chile earthquake man made?
i heard some rumors that the haiti earthquake could have been man made, but now just a few months later another huge earthquake? 8.0? it sounds wierd.
ABOUT THE BIG CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE.?
I AM VERY SCARED OF THE EARTHQUAKE AND BECAUSE I LIVE IN A 3 STORY ApARTMENT. I TOLD MY MOM WE SHOULD MOVE INTO A HOUSE BECAUSE OF THE EARTHQUAKE BUT WE CANT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE Stupid ECONOMY. SO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAppEN TO MY HOUSE AND UR IDEAS WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE WILL STRIKE. I’M ONLY 13 AND I SHOULD BE CURIOS LOL
[[BUSH IS DUMB]] :]
Is it normal to have this many earthquakes?
I’ve been looking at USGS and there are so many earthquakes everywhere,is it normal to have this many?
Las tomas de Haiti que nos mostraron después del terremoto no fueron plesentes de ver. (Vocabulary word: La toma (shot, as in picture)) [what I'm trying to say: The shots we were shown of Haiti after the earthquake were not pleasant to see.]
Hay muchas instalaciones que [were destroyed]. (Vocabulary word: instalaciones (buildings)) [There were a lot of buildings that were destroyed]
Aunque yo no estoy en el país, puedo imaginar cuantas gotitas los [Haitians] tenían por el dolor del perdimiento no solo unos de los miembros de sus familias pero perdiendo casi todos de sus [belongings] también. (Vocab words: gotitas, dolor) [Even though i'm not in the country, I can imagine how many tears the Haitians have because of the pain of losing not only members of their families but losing almost all of their belongings/property as well.]
Si Ud. tiene [extra] ropa o comida que puede enviar a la gente de Haiti, envíelas. [I can only imagine] la desespera que ellos están [going through]. (Vocab: la desespera) [If you have extra clothes or food to give to the people of Haiti, (please) send them. I can only imagine the distress that they're going through.]
Also, how do you use the following words in sentences?
1. aventar (to throw)
2. las replicas (aftershock)
3.meter (to go in)
4. los saqueos (raids)
thank you!
Ok so ive been doing some research, Here are the latest earthquakes: Haiti, Chile, now Taiwan.
Here is a web site were you see earthquakes going on around the world. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_big.php
What do you think? Isnt it wierd. Might be the start of apocalypse. Or maybe the mayans where right whe only have 2 more yrs left.
How does the behavior of seismic waves help us learn about the interior of the Earth?

1) how has technology help to decrease the damage due to earthquakes? 2) what is the San Andreas fault?
We have experienced several lately and with the chile and haiti one hitting i have a feeling were next.
With the recent devastating earthquakes, what are the chances of an inter-plate earthquake?
Curious if the Haiti and Chile earthquakes might affect the chances of inter-plate earthquakes, such as New Madrid.
Will you please critique/ comment ?

The mystery man I could not see
When I awoke in sweat and glee
I looked around, where was he
In the cotton did not sit
The fields of gold were not him
The tulips flowered but were tired
Couldn’t tell me either
Wandered far into the east
Emerald stones were but alone
For his presence was not shown
Wise men told me, at beauty morning
As I watched a holy dawning
Told me of a story written
A most intricate of scripture
Couldn’t paint his picture
Still I pressed and searched the land
Pushed the dust off buried sand
Underneath the earthquake rubble
I heard a cry – a faintest try
Was too late for it had died
Water swelled and people drowned
Now the trees have shed their bark
And as I gaze into the dark
I can’t see the man – I try
If I see him any day
I will tell him go away
To the first answerer, yes it was. It was meant to convey a duality that is ironical.
