Rumors have been running wild that there will be a big earthquake on Friday. Now usually, I don't listen to these doomsday stuff, but the odds of it actually happened have increased from highly improbable to plausible, as attested by the fact that we've experienced several small-time earthquakes in the past weeks. It most likely won't happen on Friday; more likely it will happen (if at all) sometime before or after.
Now, the topic is this? Are you reviewing your what-to-do-in-case-of-an-earthquake manuals, or are you just going "meh"?
Discuss. |

I heard that from my sister, but her story says that it's not a big one.
And, I'm "meh" on this one. |

Any other period in my life I'd go either "Meh." or "Bring it!"...but...
Nope.
I'm buying P300 load the day before and if the earthquake hits and heralds the Grim Reaper, I'm calling everyone that matters.
So there. |

Quite a good idea. Might try it myself. |

I'll be sitting in front of my computer. Playing or foruming. -_-
When your life's gonna end, go do something you like. |

Wow, so instead of doing like, two minutes of research, which would increase your survival rate should something like this happen (and it's not even, tomorrow it'll happen, but, it could happen some time in the future), most of you say that if it does happen, then oh, well, you're dead?
This tells me a lot of things about the org. Enlightening. Thanks. |

You could say I'm confident in my anti-earthquake skills.
That's why I'm "meh". |

I'm "meh" on this one. Maybe because I live one day at a time. This doesn't mean I don't have any foresight, its just that I don't think it'll matter if I die tommorow or not. |

(Meh) You say earthquakes, I say BRING IT ON!
It's time something broke the monotony of our everyday existence. |

Hmm actually one is more viable to die via vehicular accidents or health failure rather than natural disasters...but in my case if it happens...
1) Don't panic.
2) Smoke a cigar.
3) Do 1 and 2. ~~, |

Looking at the posts above tells anyone a lot from the kind of members in this org, doesn't it?
I'd say I also went "meh" on this earthquake, and I'm not concerned with my death. I don't think it will happen soon, anyway...
If I do die, throw me into the last virgin forest and live me to rot, naturally. ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |

One of my geology profs mentioned that as per the theory..... I don't recall what was the term, that things are a repetition of its previous self. As what happened to Pangea. It would happen again. Pangea was created by a great earthquake thus if it would happen again there would be nothing new. Me I'm "meh" on this one. I would rather have a a "deep impact scenario or an armageddon scenario." Experience an earthquake twice in my life, I just fell on the groud while standing but got up to go the CR instead of going out of the house. ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |

Because if you don't panic you can learn in a couple of minutes. ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |
