A magnitude-6.3 earthquake struck about 60 miles southeast of the Iranian coastal city of Bushehr, where the country's only nuclear power station is located, the U.S. Geological Survey reported Tuesday.

Initial reports suggested the nuclear plant has not been affected, but the southern province where the quake struck is vast and remote and details were not immediately clear.

It wasn’t actually all that near the reactor and the energy was likely directed away from it, based on the aftershock locations.

So, when did Israel get an earthquake machine? Looks like they need to work on the accuracy issue a bit more, though.

More like the Arabian plate is still showing it's moving north into the Eurasian plate, like it has been for the last 35 million years, long before there were Muslims in Iran, or people at all.

So, we have an earthquake machine now? We need to improve the accuracy a bit.

Bush’s fault, of course. (Cheney probably thought of it...)

Oh, for goodness sake! Why interject logic and scientific reasoning into a perfectly good religious chest pounding?!? Between the zealots and the tin foil crowd who believe HAARP causes everything, you're raining on a lot of parades!

I have to explain everything, don’t I?

In 1908, an alien spacecraft exploded at Tunguska, Russia;

The Roswell alien spacecraft was a rescue mission for the Tunguska crash, but it in turn crashed in the New Mexico desert;

A piece of alien technology was discovered by a teenager named Elvis Presley;

Presley turned it over the the Nazi scientists of Operation Paperclip;

The Nazi scientists reverse-engineered it and developed the Internet, GMO’s, and chemtrail technology, which in turn powers the HAARP array;

The HAARP array brought down the Chelyabinsk meteor on the order of George W. Bush, who personally detonated it from his secret Skull and Bones lair beneath the campus of UT-Austin.

There, it all makes sense, Mulder and Scully were right, The Truth Is Out There, man!

At least he didn’t declare God wasn’t around then-or ever. Which did surprise me.
