Don't fall off your chairs laughing, everybody, but there is an
article in today's (Tuesday) Sun which is blaming the weekend's gales
and heavy rain on the tsunami!

Astrophysicist Piers Corbyn believes the tsunami "could have an effect
on the weather".
He is quoted as saying: "The immediate effect is that it has put a lot
more water on the land. This will evaporate more quickly and so make
the atmosphere damper."

It's a "big fear haunting weather scientists". The article is on P25
if anyone is chomping at the bit to buy a copy!!

He's not the only one in need of some education. A spokeswoman for the
Energy Watchdog (whatever it's called) was interviewed about the
Carlisle floods yesterday, on Sky News. She said: "I don't know if
this heavy rain was caused by the tsunami, but..." I kid you not.

This must be a candidate for Quote of the Year.

I did notice we had a very high tide yesterday (the mid-day tide) ...
guess that was my share of the wave then (;

I worry for the future of this nation when I hear about such scientific
ignorance.

i'm finding myself in 'battle' so to speak with people that come out
with this non-science (change in spelling is intentional)
Perhaps it would be better to ignore them

i said it before, i'll say it again, Pier's and his ilk would be best
suited to a 'mystic hut' whenever the fair (rich gypsies / travellers)
come to town

Those kinds of quotations, that the media then go on to print in the
papers, i find to be truly offensive to realistic intelligent minds

Mediums and Psychics, Clairvoyents bah !! humbug. They need to put up
or shut up

As Jacqueline Stallon (Sylvester's Mum) said after entering Celeb Big
Brother last night that she would do some ass-readings.
She's got a better chance of predicting our futures by reading our
backsides than our palms

I heard some report saying the quake that caused the tsunami was so great it
shifted the earths axis of rotation by an inch or something - is that true,
and how on earth (lol) do you measure something like that on a planetary
scale!?

That was covered in a thread on here a week or so ago. It shouldn't be
hard to find on Google.

Yes, it bounced around the world, deflecting off coastlines ;-)
