Obligatory random earthquake pic Excerpts - the rest here:
RENO, Nev. (AP) - Scientists urged residents of northern Nevada's largest city to prepare for a bigger event as the area continued rumbling Saturday after the largest earthquake in a two-month-long series of temblors. Ok -- prepare -- got it -- *starts walking with greater balance*
More than 100 aftershocks were recorded on the western edge of the city after a magnitude 4.7 quake hit Friday night, the strongest quake around Reno since one measuring 5.1 in 1953, said researchers at the seismological laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno.
The latest quake swept store shelves clean, cracked walls in homes and dislodged rocks on hillsides, but there were no reports of injuries or widespread major damage.
Seismologists said the recent activity is unusual because the quakes started out small and continue to build in strength. The normal pattern is for a main quake followed by smaller aftershocks.
"A magnitude 6 quake wouldn't be a scientific surprise," John Anderson, director of the seismological lab, said Saturday. "We certainly hope residents are taking the threat seriously after last night." OOooo -- it could continue and a big one wouldn't be a surprise?
But Anderson stressed there was no way to predict what would happen, and said the sequence of quakes also could end without a major one. OOooooo -- it could end at any minute? Hey -- Thanks for NOTHING, Poindexters. Just say "how are we supposed to predict the unpredictable?"
Ohhh you can't say that? Why? Because all the dumbasses in the world are gonna line up and chant their mantra -- "What are we gonna do (i.e. How much of Klown's money are we going to spend) to make sure this NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.

I tell ya -- when I hear some dipstick say those words, I'm thinking "get hit by a bus -- get hit by a bus."
Among other things, scientists urged residents to stock up on water and food, to learn how to turn off water and gas, and to strap down bookshelves, televisions and computers. Ok -- I'm panicking -- going to get batteries, food, and water -- also -- I'm getting all of my TV and computer straps out of storage right now -- OUTTA MY WAY, DONKS.
