#2 A few years back '02 or '03 there was a 6-something quake that reportedly killed 70,000 in Iran. Have to wonder if any part of that country is built to code or is most of the money going to build nukes. Hmmm...maybe it was a nuke test. Someone put out a call to the Halliburton Earthquake Division, please. |
