And... Oh joy, another RubeTube astrologer who links sunspots and spaceweather with earthquakes. "Solar flares are at low sea level." <snicker> "I'm not ready to count them out yet..." <re-snicker> And a lot of pseudo-technical sciencey speak by a rube to impress the rubes. It doesn't get funnier than that.
RubeTube, where high school dropouts can play scientist for the other high school dropouts. It's a festival of stupid every day.
