From ABC News

"Blakeman said Monday's quake was considered a "great earthquake" because it is larger than a magnitude 8. He said it was an aftershock from December's temblor but is a "very serious earthquake in its own right."

Gotta be the understatement of the day...

my sister is just going to have to come home. She lives in Seoul but was in Phuket when the Tsunami hit. Now she is in the Philipines and an earthquake hits.

no no!!! The earthquakes hit where she is!! Tell her to stay there!!!!!!!!

maybe i could suggest she visit France?

It's always France with you, isn't it, Lookout.

Admit it, you secretly LOVE France. It's like a grade school romance where you punch the girl you like.

Lookout and France, up in a tree.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love...
Then comes marriage...
Then comes France with a baby carriage.

i'm visiting france this summer. yippee. as far as i can tell, i love the country, but i'm not too fond of the residents. the feeling is probably reciprocated.

I worked with the french "military" 11 years ago. i say if they are ever invaded again, let the lazy bastards fry.

edit: thanks for noticing and calling out my secret crush on france though. :o

The plague of locusts should be coming any day now.

I'm looking forward to the rain of frogs.

I like frogs.

I don't scream like a girl when I see one.

Unlike the mouse that menaced me in my office last night.

He was quite fierce.

We decided not to tell dayshift.

We are naming him "Haldol".
