No, I hadn't seen it so thanks.

This is an interesting quote:

Quote:

"On 23 November in the same year, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, there befell a terrible storm of wind and rain, thunder and lightning, with dense smoky fog. The appalling noise was heard all over the land causing great alarm. There was an earthquake, too, shaking the ground everywhere."

The remark of bad weather being followed by an earthquake is still thought of by many people to be linked. However there is no evidence that the weather affects in some way the geology of the Earth (and why should it really), and it is almost certainly just a coincidence.

Here in Southern California, its the opposite. It seems earthquakes seem to hit during hot dry weather periods (santa ana conditions). http://ask.yahoo.com/20020114.html

I believe that this is an urban legend as well.

I agree completely.

It reminded me of a video on the "Super Outbreak" in 1974 which is up on the website of WHAS-TV in Louisville, where the announcer goes from talking about all these tornadoes to an earthquake that occurred on the same night in their area. If I had been there it would have freaked me out.

(Hope I didn't bore you

No you didnt bore. I love it when people talk about their passions. I love learning about new things. Yes, this makes me a nerd but so what?

CSKA v Arsenal is a very decent game seeing it's a group game, bit like a cup final.

It all depends if they just turn up to antagonise each other, or they actually decide to play some football.

SDPM..do you get ESPN radio in the UK over the internet? The Dan Ppatrick show from 6-9pm your time might onterest you.

If it doesnt..sorry.

bababui · 10-17-2006, 02:45 PM

Can we do away with the annoying kids and the hand-holding during the anthems??

Sorry, I was in the shower. I'm sure you can get ESPN Radio over the net.

And I don't know whether it would interest me or not, as I've never heard it before.
