Guys, let's make an earthquake contest prediction on what happens shortly after 12/12/12. Nothing to be blamed about if wrong, just doing it for fun. I predict there will be at least 1 Mag 8.2 6 days after the 12/12/12 date and at least 6 Mag 8.0s, 2 Mag 9s and 1 Mag 10 by 12 January 2013. The next significant earthquake in May 2013 will be over Mag 12, marked by a huge magmatic explosion that can be heard all over the world and breaking and cracking the Pacific Plate or any other large plate in a huge manner.

Next Possible Target Dates for Significant Quake

Nov 30, 2012 = 7 NEOs
Dec 08, 2012 = 6 NEOs
Dec 18, 2012 = 9 NEOs

Currently, until more NEOs are discovered for other dates, Dec 18, 2012 is my next target date.

An interesting object I found is asteroid 2002 AU4...

Here is it's most recent close approach history with the 7.0+ quakes closet to the approach dates:

We have an average of 4 or 5 NEO's making close approach to Earth every day. However on December 21, 2012 there is currently only one know NEO approaching on that day... asteroid 2002 AU4:
2012-Dec-21 --- 0.1023 AU
