A "fortune teller" is saying that today that a massive earthquake will hit Taiwan. It sounds ridiculous, but living in Taiwan right now, I am a little bit creeped out.

Here are some links saying more:
http://www.holyblasphemy.net/10-hours-until-the-end-of-the-world-taiwan-earthquake-may-11-2011/blog

Obviously it's a prediction so there's nothing official - so far the Taiwan government has slammed the "prophet" and may be charging him with fraud.

It's 9:34AM, and its supposed to hit around 10:45AM. Will be pretty sick if it actually happens.

too easy

Face palm.

There is one in every bunch. The worst part is if there is an earthquake everyone will focus on how wonderful this guy is for predicting it.

In local news. Shamen predicts a rain shower next week. More at 5.

Well, if it's a 14 I'll feel it over here in North Carolina. So, if I start feeling tremors, then holy fuck I don't even know.

Actually, I do not. I will wake up from my dream.

There is a 'prediction' for Italy today too:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110510/ap_on_re_eu/eu_italy_quake_myth

This 'prediction' is accredited to Raffaele Bendandi, a self taught seismologist who died in 1979. Thing is he never made this prediction.

Maybe that's how he predicted it; by palm reading.

This guy made a blog about it too. Quick we should all unite against this thing because it is stupid! That will make us look smart and we'll have changed people's perception of non-empiracly backed statements and predictions!

My last 38 minutes of life spent at work...

Oh well time to tell the boss what I really think about his "feedback"...

BRB...

Edit: Does anyone know where the nearest benefits office is? Seems the boss isn't as open to honest opinion as I thought.

Man... people are so concerned with Uganda's Anti-Gay bill that they totally ignored how close Taiwan got to being wiped out from the face of the earth.

20.3 million people were so close to dieing and the whole world tries to save 500 000.

Interestingly there was an earthquake in spain yesterday. Killed four people. Maybe our holy prophet got the place and size wrong?

I saw something about this on the news and facepalmed, and I don't even know it was suppose to be 5/11 this year, why are people so stupid? The stupid news was also speculating about how the typhoon could affect it even though it's barely glancing past Taiwan.

Basically, the "fortune teller" Wong Sensei's last ditch effort is to ask White Beard from One Piece to create a magnitude 14.0 earthquake, which White Beard says, "Fuckoff".
