Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicts that an earthquake
will hit the country’s capital of Tehran and displace its 12 million
residents. The cause of the catastrophic quake? Promiscuous women,
reports The Guardian.
“Many women who do not dress modestly ...
lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in
society, which increases earthquakes,” Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, a
senior Iranian cleric and seismologist, was quoted by Iranian media.
A SENIOR Iranian cleric has claimed that dolled-up women incite extramarital sex, causing more earthquakes in Iran, a country that straddles several fault lines, newspapers reported today.
"Many women who dress inappropriately ... cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes," Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi told worshippers at overnight prayers in Tehran.
Eve Ensler, the writer of the infamous "The Vagina Monologues" thinks earthquakes and tsunamis are caused by global warming and host Joy Behar of "The Joy Behar Show," agrees.
ENSLER: Well, I just think the idea that she doesn't believe in global warming is bizarre.
BEHAR: Every scientist at every note believes in it but Sarah Palin doesn't believe in it.
ENSLER: And I think we just kind of have to walk around the world at this point and look at what is happening to nature and earthquakes and tsunamis.
BEHAR: Right. ENSLER: And weather changes to just feel it. But I think that idea that she doesn't believe in global warming and she could actually run for vice president, and we have a country where that is possible, it seems insane.
BEHAR: It's unbelievable. It does seem insane and the fact that she has not negated the possibility of running in 2012.
ENSLER: But we have. We have negated the possibility of her winning.
It’s been raining a lot, or very hot--it must be earthquake weather!
FICTION: Many people believe that earthquakes are more common in certain kinds of weather. In fact, no correlation with weather has been found. Earthquakes begin many kilometers (miles) below the region affected by surface weather. People tend to notice earthquakes that fit the pattern and forget the ones that don't. Also, every region of the world has a story about earthquake weather, but the type of weather is whatever they had for their most memorable earthquake.
The sad part is these two morons have the temerity to think they are smarter than Sarah Palin.
