British schoolchildren cause earthquake.

How come I live in the UK, and I have to be told about these things by an American? Bah.

By the way, the UK does have measurable earthquakes every so often, especially in some parts of Wales - they're just feeble compared to everywhere else :) I think the average is about 4.5 on the Richter scale.

Thank fuck for the internet.

I just woke up, and I haven't seen the news yet myself. But I think Narenek, Trishpiglet, inquis, adjectivemarcus and elynne have summed it up quite well.

redbird is ok. Rose is ok (still in San Francisco), and her sweetie Helen in New York is ok. Liam (who apparently works in the World Trade Center) called after the first explosion to say he was ok, but no one with net access has heard from him since. Shit. Who the hell else do I know who lives in/near New York?

Fuck. I'm scared. Still, at least the story I heard about hijackings at Heathrow seems to have been a hoax.

The world's gone insane, the world is a gutter.

If anyone else quotes fucking Nostradamus at me, I am going to go mad.

In case you don't know what I'm talking about: "In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb" , "The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"- Nostradamus 1654.

If Nostradamus was so great, how come he predicted the end of the world happening on no less than 8 different dates, all of which have now passed?
