You mean we can’t blame this on man-made global warming?

Has Obama reached into your pocket and donated the proceeds to an Iranian "relief" effort yet?

Thought I’d mention this while on an Earthquake thread.

Here is a great little piece of software called EARTHQUAKE 3D. Quick to download, easy to use, has a bunch of cool controls. Zoom in/out, spin the planet as fast as you want.
It is awesome, and free.

It gives one of the best ‘overall views’ on Earthquake activity I have seen. Makes it easier to see ‘patterns’.
