However, the earth was not in the exact same position around the sun, as 2004 was a leap year.

Group of Buddhist monks and villagers search for the missing along railroad tracks at Telwatte, about 100 kilometers (63 miles) south of Colombo, Sri Lanka, Tuesday, Dec. 28, 2004. The massive tidal waves that slammed into Sri Lanka flung a train off its tracks, leaving many of its 1,000 passengers dead or missing, police said Tuesday, while rescuers uncovered thousands of bodies across the country.

Oh wait. Maybe it's this and the religious folks on FR who think that bugs are demons and an Island near Haiti washed away will like this:

Since the quakes occurred on the 26th, the day after Christs birth is celebrated, Satan, who lives under the crust of the earth, got really, really mad down there at all the happy people up above and his anger caused the ground to crack, thereby causing the quakes.

Sound good?
