Apparently I am an ignorant, stupid, sonofabiscuiteater

[Zomby Woof]

I had NO IDEA the quakes in California this past week were engineered by Bush, and not something vague and unscientific...

Like plate tectonics and basic geologic principles. :dunce:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. actually while I agree with basic scientific principles

there are SOME areas where quakes occur in the desert where we have bunkers and are known explosive sites used by the military going back decades where I think that there could be some influence from man made sources

[Zomby Woof]

2. Well, yes

No doubt the faults are susceptible to those kinds of activities.

But the idea the current rash of quakes is part of a comic-book tinfoil mastermind plan to turn California into a red state is making my brain ache. :-)

Edit: I am sick of the false red state/blue state dichotomy too, on top of the tinfoil.

[Zuni]

3. any quake worth its salt

to be started by man made devices would need literally hundreds, if not thousands of nuclear warheads
The amount of energy released by a significant quake is vast---so vast that we can barely comprehend it. A nuclear warhead is a pin drop in energy terms compared to say, the Sumatran quake that caused the Tsunami

[Zomby Woof]

4. WHAT??

You mean Rove didn't mastermind these himself? Using the latest in Megawhoopiecushion technology? :tinfoilhat:

[Zuni]

6. Rove admittedly is practically omnipotent

but I think that california is just prone to quakes. Please don't flame, but California is right on a Fault line

[Zomby Woof]

8. LOL

The day someone flames someone else on here for proclaiming California has major fault lines is the day I kiss Condi Rice.

Oops, that last thought just made me :puke:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. Oh sure...I'm talking about tiny little tremors

not the ones you actually feel :D

[Zuni]

7. I am sure an underground nuclear test

would shake you up if you were nearby

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

9. Hell, the sonic boom from the space shuttle landing in So Cal

shakes my house as bad as a 5.0 quake and it's 100 miles away

[Zomby Woof]

10. The sonic boom...

Caused by me eating a Tommy's chili burger rates at least a 6.4.

[Zuni]

11. The Blue Angels, when they fly over Annapolis

shake the shit out of all the old buildings but they are worth the noise because they are so cool to watch

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. mmmmm...Tommy's

now you've done it! I might have to cruise by a Tommy's and show Misunderestimator the wonders of a sonic boom!

[Zomby Woof]

13. She hasn't tried them yet????

Yes, by all means, do it! :D

:nuke: <--- Potential side effect is worth it!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. It's been too easy

we've got an In n Out within walking distance

[xmas74]

16. The sonic booms from the B2's rattle windows

and shake my house every time they fly over.
So that's what a decent size quake feels like?

[Redstone]

23. Uh, sorry, the B-2 is not a supersonic airplane.

So it can't make sonic booms.

Redstone

[xmas74]

27. I don't really know what it is.

I do know that when it flies overhead it shakes and rattles the house. And it does make a boom sound sometimes.
We get calls about it late at night at work.
I do know that it stops traffic every single time it flies.

I did look it up. It's high subsonic. All I really know is that it's loud as hell-especially when I used to live about 3 miles from the base.

[Redstone]

28. So you're near Whiteman? Maybe it's not a sonic boom

per se, but you're not imagining things...an aircraft that large will generate significant pressure waves that could be mistaken for sonic booms.

How high is it when it flies over you?

Redstone

[xmas74]

29. Depends.

The Stealths fly really low-so low that people will stop and watch. I have heard that there are other craft there but you never see them or hear anyone talk about them (they always talk about the 509th). They usually do nightblind landings and you can hear them instead of actually seeing them.
I used to have pics of the Stealths as they were landing. They are fascinating to watch land.

And I live in Warrensburg but I used to live about a mile or so outside of Knob Noster.

btw-probably not supposed to say this, but it's been quiet around here lately. Too quiet.

[SOteric]

15. Aha!

You, too, have been brainwashed by the liberal media.

:hi: It's nice to have company.

[Zomby Woof]

17. I'm just a stooge for the BFEE

:crazy: :hi:

[REP]

18. Well, Duh

On both you being a SOB and the Bush thing, of course!

[Zomby Woof]

19. Read the LBN thread about the quakes

And watch the weirdness fly...

[REP]

22. Nothing Fazes Me Anymore

Not after "Michael Jasckson was set up because he's against the war" and "Pope Pius XII was a friend to Jews" threads I'ver seen here.

[Zomby Woof]

24. I missed those

Perhaps you can change your name to nothingfazesmeanymore, or NFMA for short.

[Pale Blue Dot]

20. Apparently?

Since when did this even become an issue? :evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

21. The debate rages!

Some say I am a pinheaded asshole, and others just a bitter fuckwad. I think of myself as "America's Sweetheart". :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Well, I also think of you as "America's Sweetheart"!

And I'm sure Nini does even more than I do! Good grief... There's NO debate on your goodness around here, as far as I'm concerned...

:hug:

[Zomby Woof]

26. Thank you CP!

Of course, only Nini, you, and a select few others know that privileged information. :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. I could have told you that eons ago...like back during the primaries...

:P :loveya:
