Get a dog anyway. And if the earthquake predicting gig doesn't work? Hey, you still have a dog.

Shouldn't this have already been done? WTF?

What do you call news that is put out just to push a certain agenda, that will just scare or manipulate the people and result in more money for tptb?

For perspective, $6 million is less than what the Dodgers are paying no less than four individual pitchers. This is an earthquake early warning system for southern California. It's not even costing you anything; the money came from a foundation, so what the fark is your problem?

I guess people will always shower money and worship on entertainers, but back off a bit on the people actually doing shiat, will ya? Our infrastructure is graded as D- as it is.

Why reinvent the wheel?




Can I have the money now?

how many barks if he wants steak?

Trick question; he always wants steak.

Damn,
I had a Bobby Jindal joke all ready but Jake already has it covered.

/shakes fist at Jake Havechek.

Gordon Bennett: Why reinvent the wheel?

That's wicked cool. It has me thinking about redesigning my labware to be more ornate.

Here a go:

I always wondered if setting up a laser emitter/detector arrays between different distant, high altitude points...if you could measure the Doppler shifts between them.

Oh wait this is Fark...(insert snarky comment about dogs, steak, Jindal...something..mumble mumble)

We've had several quakes lately here in Oklahoma, during 'The Big One', a mere 5.7, my dog was lying on the floor in front of the couch - he never even raised his head to see what was going on.

/he acted normally all day

Have those scientists in Italy been executed yet for failing to predict their earthquakes, volcanoes, ohnoes?

/Well at least the tea baggers aren't that crazy, yet...
//Da Pope called and he said it is a sin to fart on a seismograph.

...late to the party but, it depends on the dog. I was living in L.A. during the Northridge quake. My Keeshond woke me up at 4:28 am or so, yelping, whining, and scratching at the door like she HAD to get out of the house.

Groggy Kip: "WTF is your problem? Stupid d..." *WHAM!*

But I had two other dogs at the time that were clueless.

FTA: "Several quake-prone countries including Japan have a public alert system that provides a few seconds' notice after a big quake hits."

Isn't it too late to warn people after the quake has already happened?
