dreamer_easysrs question: is there an unusually high number of natural disasters happening right now, or is that an impression created by disasters happening in the developed world and so given more attention by the media? I shall investigate.
ETA: Tonga was hit by a 6.1 quake almost a whole day ago. The first I heard of it was just now on Twitter. I REST MY FREAKIN' CASE.
Folks are passing around a map predicting nuclear armageddon for the west coast of the US. My bullshit detector registers a billion roentgens, especially after reading New Scientist's update from six hours ago. Also investigating. ETA: The map bears the logo of an Australian company, but does not appear on their site. (Nor is there anything on the ARPANSA site.) ETA: It's been Snopes-ed. (Snopesified? Ensnopulated?)
