Tsunami, Katrina, Earthquake. Typhoons (No bloody rain here) IMHO it would have been a different story had the Mad Hatter not been running the world.
But seriously, 30 000 people killed around the disputed region between India and Pakistan in a big earthquake. I'll donate my beer money this week to the relief effort.
That Bob Dylan song keeps running over in my head.
I'm not the superstitious type but you can almost see why so many people believe there is a God. I prefer the scientific explanation. Maybe we are affecting the weather and maybe the warmer climate is causing the earthquakes. Or maybe it's just part of the cycle. It's a bit conceited of us to think we could have that big an impact on the Earth.
If the Human Race cannot exist in harmony, taking and giving, Mother Nature will make the executive decisions, and remind every one, who really is running the show..........(((((((...cloaking device activated...))))))))))))))http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...cons/icon9.gif

On to the topic though and in a non-religious, purely for scientific research mood:- There is a curious, if barely tongue in cheek index on the web which has an index similar to the "Nuclear Clock", indexing the current probability of the world as we know it ending today, based on the status of fulfilment of Biblical prophecy.

Currently 75% up considerably from earlier in the year, when last I looked!

Dang it all. I've finally got my new shed built and now this!! Typical!!
Since 1900 the average number of Magnatude 7+ earthquakes per year is 19.5Quote:

It just depends on where they happen.
Darren, sorry but there is just no point in having the shed. The end is neigh. Send all shed contents to me and you may just be able to save yourself.Quote:

Not much in there at the moment, Grunt. A few lengths of 4" PVC, a pile of 16mm chipboard and the left overs from yesterday's smoko. :D
I think this is actually a serious site.:eek:Quote:

Maybe it is not the number of natural events that has changed, but rather the fact that there are now more people to experience them and also news coverage is better at bringing the news of them to us.

Good point except for the "better at" bit. I don't think we should confuse quantity with quality, and we should specially not confuse it with equality or objectivity, of which there is none.Quote:
