Im all in for the Pancake House option  

Yeh Slart, I watched quite a few of 'em but this particular one wasn't from NASA.  I did see it somewhere IIRC.

Either way Im not holding my breath for it but I will probably do the Pancake House if it happens or not 

I have buttermilk, my pancakes are better than any others. The secret is plenty of butter on both sides (and buttermilk)... YUM!
Earthquake?? You won't care.

I do like that live EQ map, it is really cool.

This is the site I prefer for more accurate information:

USGS Earthquake Map

You can make your own views of the data as well.  I did one of all 6+ quakes from 2004 on and then filtered it down to "just" the 51 quakes of 7.5 or better (did you realize there had been that many?).  Here's the result - I immediately notice that where I am looks awfully clean...

Now, Yellowstone is a totally different animal.  Estimates are that only 6% of the human population will survive the super-eruption when it happens (it's also way overdue).

My wife has something like that on her iPhone.
 
Sends her alerts of anything outside the norm too.  Amazing how many actually occur each day that are a fairly good size for an earthquake.

I think it was some time last year, I posted a link to a site that predicts earthquakes. The prediction was for a fairly large quake. Before the end of the day a quake did occur generally in the area they claimed. It was smaller than predicted. 

I do not remember the name of that site. There were opinion on both sides as to accuracy vs luck. 

We shall see. I don't personally think the gravitational shift from a dark star and the planets will cause a given quake..... more likely the centrifugal forces and rumblings of this planet as it spins in space, is the cause. 

Are the quakes predictable? Animals seem to know but maybe they are just making lucky guesses too? And they don't predict much more than a few hours ahead..... 

One theory about the animals is that there's a gas that's released prior to an earthquake (Boron or something like that?) and the animals can sense it.

As for the "gravitational shift from a dark star" speculation, we're supposed to believe that a serious celestial object that NONE of the general public has ever heard was discovered and tracked by some non-scientist guy working on his own?  Ok...

.

An "incoming black star from the Leo Constellation?"  Really?  How come we were never taught about one of those in school and never hear about them on the Science channels?  Yeah.

Don't be a git. 


If the star is black there is no way you can see it. Since you can't see it, that proves it is there. 


Ipso Facto. 




Parascientificalogical it is.

I wonder if fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field in relation to the stratosphere and mesosphere has anything to do with causing Earthquakes and volcano eruptions?
